They did a poor job evaluating his interest if they interviewed him on Monday, and he re-worked his contract with Providence on Monday night.

His wife tweeted something. Who cares.

Looking more official. I'd be stunned if he's not the next coach.

They just offered him.

Citing sources, Rothstein reported that while the school made the offer, “The two sides have begun negotiations and the “Deal remains far from done.”

I think it is more likely Howard says 'thanks but, no thanks' and stays in the NBA.

I thought Nigel's question of 'if it is Howard why haven't they hired him yet?' was a bit premature. But now that the interview is done, and options are dwindling, I would think there would be a press conference announcement this morning.

If he was their guy all along, then what's the delay? That's my point.

The only reason he would go back to the NBA at this point, is if UM's background check finds something fishy.

I would take anyone saying that with a grain of salt, even if it comes from Manuel. It is pretty clear the search firm kicked the tires on several options.

UM cooled on him cause he doesn't have the grades to get in there with their lofty admission standards for athletes.

Oh wait, sorry, that's just what naturally comes next whenever UM fans say that someone that turned them down wasn't actually offered, so it felt naked without that included.

It will be funny if they put a buy out in for Howard (after not having one for Beilein).

Fab 5 + blue and yellow uniforms + outstanding academics + coach that is a chicago legend + respected by Reilly/Wade/Lebron = multiple nattys.

This is the Michigan hype machine today..

Let’s start the rumor right now: Howard to Cleveland in three years after Beilein gets fired.

Completely false analogy. None of us here had anything to do with Nassar. Presumably, no one here has been sued — twice — for knowingly giving our sex partners the herp. I’ve never been arrested for a DUI, and I’m reasonably certain there isn’t even one Swiller who ever played college basketball for a team that committed the largest pay-for-play scandal in NCAA history.
So yes, if I want to thrown stones at the cocksucker who rubbed his ass all over our center court logo, I’m going to do it loudly and often. Fuck that cheating scummie fuck. I hope he loses every game and drives that program straight into the ground.

by **Nordic** 2019-05-22, 20:18

My memory sucks on shit like this. Help me out tSwill....

1) Did Howard rub his ass on the Spartan logo or just Jalen?

2) Were the Fab 5 banned and one point from Crisler?

3) Is it proven that Martin paid Howard?

1 Yes, Howard rubbed his ass, too.
2 Hadn’t thought about it in years, but yes, I do think some or all of the Fab Five were banned from campus for a time. I may be misremembering, though. I also don’t recall if it was a university or NCAA decision.
3 Can’t recall specifically, but I do remember all kinds of talk about Howard driving around in a new car or SUV. Again, my memory is hazy because it was years ago and I’m old.

Yeah, right. That school is going to start cheating again and I’d bet good money on it. He wants to go after the big time 5 star recruits and use his nba clout and friends with big platforms to sway them over to UofM. That will get his foot in the door but you are gonna have to pay to land them. Cheating is in the Fab 5’s dna.

by **steveschneider** 2019-05-23, 08:22

About my final thoughts on this pretty happy they hired Howard. I hate the Fab 5 all of them and excited to see The league kick Howards ass. Payback for all of their horse shit from the early 90s

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2019-05-23, 08:24

I could be wrong, but I just don't see this working out well for UM.

by **Wally Fairway** 2019-05-23, 08:30

It's a great hire for UofM, Juwan has been successful, and he is a Michigan Man.
Personally, I think they should have reached out to Rudy T - but I was a Rockets fan in the 1990's so that taint my judgement

So let me pose a few questions
- who wins a B1G title first - Jimmy or Juwan?
- who wins a natty first - Jimmy or Juwan?
- who leaves first - Jimmy or Juwan?

Spoiler:

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-05-23, 08:53

I hope for their sake, the u of m compliance office grabs Juwan's phone and put their digits on his speed dial.

Wait, nevermind.
