George Washington. You know…

George Washington. You know his teeth were made of wool.

Wow! You are almost as old…

Wow! You are almost as old as Igor Larionov was when he retired from the Wings.

So many epic moments between…

So many epic moments between the Wings and Avs. I was a Detroit Tigers game the night the Wings scored something like 7 goals against the Avs in the playoffs. This was after the big fights in the 90s. Roy was showboating making a stop on a slap shot and held his glove up to rub it in and he dropped the puck and it went into the net. Everyone was watching the game on the Tigers jumbotron. The news crews were interviewing fans following the game on their portable radios.

Of course, Roy never ends up in Colorado unless he lets up those 9 goals when he was with Montreal. If memory serves, the coach was pissed at him and left him in. He then refused to play for them again.

I agree.

Same goes for…

I agree.

Same goes for Brady Hoke. 

His time at Michigan was rough at the end, but he is a good dude and just couldn't get it done. Would like to see him brought back to an event one day to get his applause as he deserves.

This might actually be a…

This might actually be a detriment in some ways. If he has one year left, has to make it count and not rebuild.

On the other hand, Michigan gets him playing against higher-caliber talent each night and can help him with more connections in the NBA.

Really depends on how the coach views the situation.

Yes, and the basketball…

Yes, and the basketball issues from 1992 are the exact reason why they won't Wade into Will Wade territory.

I don't think this makes me in an ivory tower. I'm not the administration. I'm not saying I agree, or disagree. I am saying that you can talk about Bruce Pearl all day long - its not likely going to happen.

Valid point for sure. I…

Valid point for sure. I guess if money is the main indicator, Michigan should keep Warde Manuel forever. Revenue has never been higher with TV deals and National Championship bump should only increase that.

I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.

Every time there is a…

Every time there is a coaching vacancy everyone on the internet throws out names that have no cultural fit at Michigan. These names include but are not limited to: Urban Meyer, Hugh Freeze, Lane Kiffin, Will Wade and Bruce Pearl.

I don't think any coach with an NCAA violation in the past will get serious consideration from the school.

Couldn't agree more.

Edwards is not a first rounder

This. Look at that…

This. Look at that consistency. Took medved's team and won 7 more games 25+ wins in 4 straight years. THIS GUY FUCKS.

Am I reading this correctly that he has never won an NCAA Tournament game?

I didn’t say to hire him. I…

I didn’t say to hire him. I said he should be considered. Also many of the data points you threw out are incorrect. But you do you.

Can't be easy to recruit Nebraska. With more resources and NIL, Hoiberg would have a higher ceiling at Michigan.

This is why we need a "serious replies only" label. Someone makes a legit topic to help clean the board up and the first comment is something stupid. The real content gets buried.

I'm not staying up to watch this.

Scott Drew at Baylor is interesting only because the Big 12 is not part of the Big Ten/SEC that could breakaway very soon. I know most the focus is on football, but this impacts hoops as well.

Every week was a Harbaugh update "no one knows anything".

 

Cool, cool, why are you here?

Jon Bacon updates are always "no update here"

That's a bummer, but he will…

That's a bummer, but he will bounce back and either get a different HC gig or be a top defensive coach at a top P5 school.

In fact, I can think of one P5 school that needs to be better on defense next year to save the head coach's job (if HC even makes it that long)

I'm building my team for…

I'm building my team for modern basketball with 4/5 out that can shoot and a coach that can get the most out of them. Here we go.

 

Center - Mo Wagner

Power Forward - Chris Webber

Small Forward - Glen Rice

Shooting Guard - Jalen Rose

Point Guard - Trey Burke

Coach - Jon Beilein

 

Bench:

Guard: Nik Stauskus

Guard: Rumneal Robinson

Guard: Tim Hardaway Jr.

Forward: Glen Robinson Jr.

Forward: Franz Wagner

Center: Juwan Howard

Center: Maurice Taylor

 

Get rid of Juwan now.

He…

Get rid of Juwan now.

He has anger issues. If this was an isolated incident then NBD, but he was on a zero tolerance policy after Wisconsin. This is too much.

The university has known about this for 3 months and did NOTHING.

Why is the school protecting a BAD coach?

This is the impact of having a bad team.

If Michigan was in contention, we would have sold that place out with our without students. It comes to down to having to put a quality product on the court.

Saban wants to cap player…

Saban wants to cap player income?

This is exactly what the Supreme Court has decided against.

We don't need an old millionaire white man telling young kids how much they can make.

Let the market dictate what they can earn.

A bummer that Sabb didn't…

A bummer that Sabb didn't wait for the coaching staff to find him a full-time role on defense through some switching. But next man up.

Time to hit the portal back for a few dudes and reload for 2024.

According to Wiki, Jean-Mary…

According to Wiki, Jean-Mary is Michigan's LB coach, but only because its been that long since someone updated his wiki.

this is still somehow better than 90% of posts on this board.

We just won a Rose Bowl in OT and a subsequent national championship.

Maybe that doesn't happen with different rules.

On the fence about this…

On the fence about this. Seems old and out of touch with college players.

Seems to have lost his edge too.

"I hope Edwards can turn it…

"I hope Edwards can turn it on in the championship"

Very hard to leave at this…

Very hard to leave at this point given the school year is a few weeks in. Sure it is possible, but also would they improve draft stock by leaving? Probably not. These are champions that can continue to develop under the current coaching staff and be first round picks.

I watched highlights from the 2021-2023 OSU games last night after the kids went to bed.

Ole Woods.

They used to call him that because he laid the wood. And his name was Woods.

I heard Harbaugh was actually using Hoke's script, which was given to him by Lloyd Carr

Its her job to ask these…

Its her job to ask these questions. 

And there's a reason she's one of the most (if not the most) respected Michigan football writer around Shembechler Hall. I don't mean the one you like the most here, or the ones people like on Twitter (X). 

The football program, and those in its orbit respect her.

If Jim wasn't Warde's guy,…

If Jim wasn't Warde's guy, he would have fired him after 2020.

This is not hyperbole. It was BAD.

This is the worst list I've ever seen.

John U Bacon is not a…

John U Bacon is not a preacher. He continues to tout "updates" on contracts that he has no inside info on. Coupled with his random Tweets about sideline workers/chain pullers vs. MSU last year and he is losing a step. We should stop clinging to every word he says. He's getting more out of touch each year.

This is completely an…

This is completely an assumption on your part. Nobody knows that Jim demanded Warde and UM reinvent football or else.

Someone on Reddit said Warde…

Someone on Reddit said Warde was the reason Carol Hutchins retired.  She's 66.

I agree, if I was Warde,…

I agree, if I was Warde, here's what I would do/have done.

 

1. Speak with Jim proactively and tell him that if he leaves, the Team should hear about it first via an all team meeting where he figuratively and literally hands the torch to Sherrone Moore. Sherrone Moore alongside Harbaugh, Warde and Ono speaks to the plan of keeping the entire staff, team and program together.

2. Contract should already be drawn up for Sherrone and make it public that Sherrone is the guy, contract is being finalized and they are going to run it back.

3. Salary increases/increased bonuses for coaches that stay.

4. Assistance from the athletic department to help Moore transition to HC role, and help Moore find top assistants to fill the holes he will have from Minter, Jaybaugh leaving.

Replace the Shembechler statue and rename the Hall after Harbaugh since he doesn't have cover-ups of diddling in his past.

Its been awfully quiet on the Harbaugh front. The longer this takes the better for UM but also bad for recruiter and the players. Weird
