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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We as a fan base must give him everything. We cannot be divisive like we were with RR, Hoke. This is a young coach with huge shoes to fill potentially. Everyone must be united behind him.
This includes: Ono, Warde, the Regents, the fans, alumni, former players.
I'm not worried about the current players/staff. The know Sherrone is a dawg.
This counteracts what JUB (who never seems to have any new info) says every week. Also - this contract should be a moving piece of work based on what just happened.
Or the President has an atypical relationship. It might be easier for Warde to sit back in the shadows and not publicly jockey with another man for Jim Harbaugh's love.
Warde has mentioned numerous times publicly he gets along with Harbaugh. We all know through months of reports that the contract has been provided to Harbaugh. Somewhere around 10 years $125 Million.
We know the University has improved in certain areas related to assistant coach salaries, NIL, etc. Maybe Harbaugh is posturing for more.
But we have no data or soundbytes to indicate Warde is at fault.

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 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.

Kyle Smith has never been to an NCAA tournament.
I'm not staying up to watch this.

…
just like football season
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 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)
yah its garbage on mobile
SMASH
"...I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever..."
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
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 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 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 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. Seems old and out of touch with college players.
Seems to have lost his edge too.
"I hope Edwards can turn it on in the championship"
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.
They used to…
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 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, he would have fired him after 2020.
This is not hyperbole. It was BAD.
This is the worst list I've ever seen.

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 assumption on your part. Nobody knows that Jim demanded Warde and UM reinvent football or else.
Someone on Reddit said Warde was the reason Carol Hutchins retired. She's 66.
I agree, if I was Warde, here's what I would do/have done.

TAKE THAT OSU SUPER RECRUITS!
The "You Can't Fire Me For Cause Head Football Coach Presented by Jim Harbaugh and Rotel"
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
This is getting into Brian Ellerbee territory.

I didn't realize until now (14 hours after posting) that I had it correct as Taulia. When the commenter called me out, I just assumed I made a mistake
This is at least the third time this has been posted.
I’ve been drinking and I’m not changing it. Lol.

Why would Santa Ono need to sideline Warde?
Warde has mentioned numerous times publicly he gets along with Harbaugh. We all know through months of reports that the contract has been provided to Harbaugh. Somewhere around 10 years $125 Million.
We know the University has improved in certain areas related to assistant coach salaries, NIL, etc. Maybe Harbaugh is posturing for more.
But we have no data or soundbytes to indicate Warde is at fault.
I mean we all want him, right?
If the contract offer of 10 years $125 million is true, then how more can they say it?
Warde Has publicly stated he gets along with Harbaugh. Ono supports him. The fans, players, coaches, alumni. What else does the man need?
We could give him a statue? Name the weight room after Ben Herbert and acknowledge more assistants with more money? I don't know what else it is.
This doesn't sound like a traditional Michigan target.
Tuttle is out of eligibility.
