Cavs Hire Michigan’s John Beilein as New Head Coach with Five-Year Deal

Since it was announced that Larry Drew would not return to the Cavs once the season ends, the team has been on the lookout for a new coach, and it appears they have found their man.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the team has come to terms on a five-year deal with University of Michigan coach John Beilein.

Wojnarowski states that Beilein told Michigan on Sunday that he was not coming back to the University this upcoming season.

The Cavaliers have been using the term “culture-driver” internally when discussing the possibility of hiring Beilein.
