Well deserved honor for The Mayor.
I feel he's more deserving than Painter

I also know for damned sure that Painter is the better coach

he's gotta have something on someone. or Ann Arbor is so woke and DEI crazy that they are afraid of the optics of firing a black man. dude is an ASS coach and a jack ass to boot. i can take a coach being a jack ass as long as he wins. this guy doesn't win sh*t. he sucks.

I don't know why you wouldn't tag the tag off him now. He's gonna win two more games, I think, and get the team into the dance.
When I asked right after Holtmann was fired (I asked before the Purdue game) I remember that you said tOSU should keep Diebler if he avoided playing on Wednesday in the BTT. He did and true to form, you think they should keep him.

He is convincing me. This team looks so much better. Also, he probably has the best chance to keep the team together and I haven't taken a deep look around the league but we know the POTY is leaving. Could Ohio State be a serious contender next year?

Imagine this for the start to a HC career:
  • Take over a dead-in-the -water 4-10/14-11 team.
  • Play the reigning POTY and his #2 ranked team in your first game as HC.
  • Beat said POTY and the #2 team in the nation.
  • Go 5-1 in the final six regular season games.
  • Get program's first road win in 400+ days.
  • Get another road win just for good measure.
  • Coach only six games but end the season with more B1G wins than your predecessor who coached 14 and also more that the HC of TTUN (who probably makes less as a coach than he made as a player for TCUN) who coached 20.
  • Win a desperate BTT opener between two teams that know they can't afford a loss.
  • Win another BTT game, this one against a ranked team destined for a high seed.
  • Get into the NCAA Tournament despite having been 4-10/14-11) in mid-February.
  • Win two NCAAT games thus achieving your program's first S16 in over a decade.
  • Get the "interim" tag removed.
  • Win a B1G Championship in your first full year as HC, your program's first in over a decade.

I can dream, right?

I don't *THINK* that wokeism and DEI make his termination impossible but they definitely give him privileges.

well that's the only thing I can think of- cause the guy is a lousy coach that should've been fired five times over already.

The man lent his star PG his car, and said PG then drunk drove it into a pole, and gave the cops a fake name.

What the hell else could Juwan have on him?

Harbaugh had a bad 2020.  But, let's be honest, that was a fake season, and he had a track record at Stanford and in the NFL, and his tenure at Michigan was still WAY higher than what Juwan has done.  Juwan had one good year...in a COVID season, which, again, was fake.  He was on the bubble in 2020, barely got in in 2022, went to the NIT with a loaded roster in 2023, and now had Michigan's worst season in 60 years.  Harbaugh couldn't solve the OSU problem, but aside from the COVID year, they were a consistent top 10-15 team.  Howard has been outright bad, so any comparison to giving Harbaugh one year to fix it is false

And there's the little matter of the punch he threw in the handshake line in Madison a couple of years ago. He should have been cashiered right then and there, and they could have done so for cause.

They've had multiple chances to fire him for cause.  Somehow he was put on a zero tolerance policy that trying to fight the S&C coach didn't violate.  And instead, the highly thought of S&C coach left

Honestly, I have no problem with the two sharing it.  Hoiberg deserves it for immensely surpassing preseason expectations.

I actually would have been OK with Hoiberg getting it alone this year IF Painter had gotten it last year.  As a reminder, Purdue was picked 5th by the media in preseason last year (and then won the league by 3 games).  Collins got it last year because NW exceeded those preseason expectations more, I guess.

I think some of the votes that Painter got this year were "guilt" votes for not getting it last year and considering he won the league by 3 games again and with an even better Big Ten record.

Either way, hats off to Hoiberg.  Fantastic job this year.

I mean Painter has won it two more times than Izzo, so such is life once you raise the expectations

I guess the question is, does Juwan have any shot at things being significantly better next year?
He's likely losing Olivier Nkamhoua and Tray Jackson (and possibly Terrance Williams II).
They've got a couple of 4 stars coming, but nothing that screams "instant impact".

I'm guessing that Warde has given him one more year to finish top 4 or he's gone.  At that point, there's not going to be any blowback from anybody for justification.

Yeah, I saw where Izzo has won the Big 10x and CoY only 3x ... doesn't seem right, the coach is responsible for getting the good players and building the roster too, right?

All because he is simply huge, and you can't touch him.
Disappointing take here, by your take all people with his size would by NPOY ... and the fact of his game not translating well to the NBA, doesn't mean he is not a skilled college player.  But I am not going to change your mind, just disappointed you took the easy way out on Edey.
