Look at all these Rumors...................

The problem with a high profile coaching search is you never know what is real and what isn't. Who is trying to get a raise and who is truly a candidate.

Here is the latest update from the coaching search ranks:

  • Arkansas got Tommy Bowden from Clemson a nice raise and extension. I guess even bad coaches can get a raise in this process.
  • WSU has a bunch of people of their list including John L. Smith and Brady Hoke.
  • UCLA has reportedly contacted Steve Mariucci on their newly open HC position.
  • Not much going on at Georgia Tech after UConn's coach said he wasn't leaving. Rick Neuheisel is a name I hear consistently.

What about our Wolverines you say?

  • Angelique S. Chengelis brings up the regular list of candidates. I have heard this list for all most 3 weeks. If these are the top guys, why haven't their AD's been contacted?
  • Schiano, Grobe, Pinkel, & Ferentz: None have been officially contacted.
  • Ron English doesn't seem to be in the running at Arkansas and there is talk that he maybe named the interim HC at Michigan. This better be a bad rumor.
  • There is also talk that Miles is not out of the question at Michigan. That he has a huge bonus in his contract if he wins the NC and might not sign his new contract this week. I hope this is a bad rumor as well, please be gone. You looked like a complete fool this weekend. Have a great day!

So basically nothing is happening with our search. At least it seems that way. "T i m e it's on our side, yes it is" No it isn't. Bill you better be doing something.

Head case Alex Legion who committed to Michigan Basketball and then de-committed. Committed and signed and then asked to be let out of his commitment, is now transferring from the University of Kentucky. Alex, please don't come knocking at Crisler Arena. Were not looking for any trouble.
