Jeff Goodman was saying on Field of 68 top tier coaches don’t want Michigan because of academic transfer restrictions and lack of NIL so they’ll probably have to get a MVU or MWC coach
If this is true, things are about to get a lot worse before they have any chance of getting better.

Nooooo! I wanted Juwon to stay at Michigan forever. 2 guaranteed wins every year. Like the Tommy Amaker days.
Hopefully they go hire Jalen Rose, Chris Weber, Sean Higgins or another ex NBA alum.
If they were smart they would bring Beilein back but he is 71 and probably does not want to deal with NIL and transfer portal.

Lot of good positions opening up - Ohio State, Michigan, Washington, Louisville, OK State. Less attractive Vanderbuilt
LaMont Paris just signed extension at SC
Dustin May FAU, Nate Oates (AL). Musselman (ARK), Beard (ole Miss), Miller (XAV) will have their choice of jobs if they want to move. Might be too early for Miller to move. Oates signed extension in early 2023. Musselman signed extension Nov 2023.

Football still pays the bills even at a place like Illinois. The whole NIL fund got north of 65+ million in the last month. We have enough for both.
good

but it wont be too much longer until this changes with employee status and collective bargaining. Without rules and limits, there will be no more ability for 90% of the teams to compete

current status quo is not sustainable

Not surprised to see the Juwan news but I am surprised at how Michigan handled it. I was told a couple months ago that he knew his fate and there was an agreement between he and the school that he'd step down at the end of the year.

Makes me wonder if I got bad info or if Juwan went back on the agreement and Michigan had to force him out. I hope it's the latter.

Best of luck to an all time great Illini. 😁

Didn't want to see Howard leave. However, John Beilein did pretty well at Michigan. I am sure that he helped place more players in the NBA than we have in last 15 years.

It's actually an extreme force for parity, at least among the major conferences.

But the system is blowing gaskets left and right, that much is true. It can't go on like this.

Personally I'm still just kind of in a state of shock and mourning for the destruction of college football. They destroyed fall Saturdays, which has been my favorite entertainment product since I was a kid.

I'm not as blackpilled about basketball...yet. Selfishly, a lot of the trends that seem terrible for the overall interest level in the sport also seem narrowly good for Brad Underwood's Illinois.

With Howard gone, the Big Ten is a safer place. I am happy about that.

However, it would be difficult for Michigan to find a worse coach. I am sad about that.

scUM will always be scum , no matter who their coach is ........got rid of coward and harbaugh leaves for the NFL and the next coaches will still be scUMbags to me...........arrogance and cowardice permeates through that scUMmy program now that Sanderson saw the light of the Fighting Illini program and joined in the nick of time to save his soul from the scUM sucking scavengers of the black death horde.......................

Even though he had a down year, surprised Tang isn't getting more interest from some of these open jobs.

Especially since he lost Tomlin and Glover for the year ... They were gonna start for him ...

I like Tang a lot ... Think he could be in play at Baylor whenever Drew is done ... But another down year and Terry will be gone ... Texas will come after Tang ...

I'm more in the camp that this was inevitable and I'm glad we seem to be moving quickly to capitalize. I'm hopeful that, by the time this all stabilizes, we will have raised our star enough to have durably improved our place in the pecking order.

I am disappointed in Michigan. Coach Howard deserved another 5 yrs. coaching his school. 😆 🤣
They may actually hire someone competent now. Dang! He was like having a double spy for our side.
