A Beilein to Success!

[CycloneErik]

A third approach here, with two angles.
Let's assume that John Beilein is fired by the Cavs, giving us the chance to offer him redemption Norman Dale style, one last ride to glory.

We can ask him to buy out Prohm with his NBA buyout, but that probably won't fly.
So, because someone brought it up and it's fun, we turn the ped bridge money into Beilein money and bring that guy right in. We know he can evaluate talent, scheme, and win.

So, option #3.

We better be ready to shell out $4-$5M a year for a coach, 'cuz he was just under $4M when he left on a good note. Don't see him taking a paycut to come back to college.

I'm also not totally convinced the Cavs fire him this quickly, but I suppose they've done dumber things before.

They'd owe him a crap ton of money if they fired him now and it's not like their team is in position to win no matter who is coaching.

I always thought him leaving Michigan was extremely odd. I still don't get it. Why the **** would you want to try that dumpster fire in Cleveland with no NBA background.

I was in the same boat. He had something really good going at Michigan and then to jump to the Cavs.

I think he got sick of the recruiting/general scummery of CBB. And money. Always surprises me how people can’t understand leaving one situation for another with a huge pay increase. It’s always #1. Always.

That and he might have wanted to give it a shot. The highest level of his profession

Beilein left Michigan for two reasons. The first is that it's really hard to get over the hump he was on without cheating in college basketball. The second was he was somehow losing an abnormal amount of guys who didn't have great draft prospects early and it's almost impossible to plan for that without risking being stuck over the limit when these cycles are 2-3 years ahead of when guys actually get there.

John Beilein is probably the least scummy guy basketball and I think it just grated on him that in order for him to get over the hump, he was going to have to change that. Having said that, sign me up for Michigan's Beilein era.

The stupid thing was that he had two other way better opportunities.

The one person that might be less scummy is our current coach.

I think Erik just needs to keep it to one troll thread.

I've said since he's been here in terms of cleanliness, there aren't any guys I'd rather bet on than those two.

I can guarantee you that John Beilein did not mean to call them thugs.

And we make fun of other fanbases for being delusional.
