John Beilein is headed to Cleveland. The Wolverine head coach accepted a job offer from Dan Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Michigan needs a new head coach.
Here are five reactions to Beilein’s decision and what comes next for the Michigan basketball program that he built over the last 12 years.
Still to come
- 1. Beilein built this program. It's important to remember where he started
- 2. This makes sense for Beilein
- 3. Hiring the right coach is more important than any roster shake ups
- 4. Where does Michigan go next?
- 5. Timing isn't a dealbreaker
