John Beilein stunned Michigan fans yesterday by jumping to the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. That leaves Michigan in a poor spot when it comes to finding a replacement coach, given how late in the hiring season it is. However, as the only major job currently open, Michigan should have the ability to land one of its top targets.
BetOnline.AG has released its initial odds for who the next coach of the Wolverines will be. Here they are in order:
Juwan Howard - 3/1
Billy Donovan - 7/2
Bobby Hurley - 5/1
Kevin Keatts - 7/1
Shaka Smart - 7/1
LaVall Jordan - 10/1
Luke Yaklich - 10/1
Saddi Washington - 10/1
Brad Stevens - 12/1
This list of 10 names includes several people that would be slam dunk hires, namely Stevens and Donovan.
