Providence's Ed Cooley has emerged as a candidate for the vacant Michigan job, sources told ESPN.
Cooley was expected to interview with Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel on Monday, sources told ESPN. Manuel is also expected to interview Miami Heat assistant and former Michigan star Juwan Howard on Tuesday.
The Wolverines are looking to replace John Beilein, who left last week to become the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Beilein had been at Michigan since 2007, leading the Wolverines to two national championship game appearances.
Cooley's connection to Michigan comes through the search firm the school hired to help with the search, Turnkey Sports.
