ESPN is reporting that the Regents will meet on Thursday and will discuss David Brandon:
"The systems failed, and there are a lot of issues we have to review," Ilitch told WWJ CBS-TV in Detroit.
The Regents don't have the power to fire Brandon but a "remove from role" recommendation will go a long way in Michigan president Mark S. Schlissel final decision.
ESPN is also reporting this from the story:
Sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that someone on Michigan's behalf has contacted three possible candidates to replace Brandon to gauge their interest in the job.
Best guess on who was contacted: UConn AD Warde Manuel, Boston College AD Brad Bates and Arkansas AD Jeff Long. All have ties to Michigan's program and all have experience running an athletic department.
New Job?

It looks as though the hand writing is on the wall...David Brandon with Hoke and company are on their way out. Even if you wanted them to stay, when things begin to get this far into the process with all of the negative media attention and the Regents meeting to discuss "you," it doesn't seem likely that they will come out of this giving both of them a vote of confidence. Especially if the alumni and big money donors have been expressing their desire to make a change in these positions. I'm beginning to feel sorry for those two now; and my goodness, the players are likely to be going through another change. I think we all want what's best for Michigan and even Brandon and Hoke. IMHO!!!
