Never hardcore, but you may use the word "tenacious". Except for our baseball program which I can't use the right word here to describe it. Here's the latest list:
According to 247Sports' Evan Daniels, Michigan's search will be headed by Turnkey Sports.
While Michigan has not revealed anything of its search, many have already begun speculating potential names. One category, consisting of high-level coaches worth a try, has included
Brad Stevens of the Boston Celtics, Billy Donovan of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jay Wright of Villanova, Tony Bennett of Virginia, and Mark Few of Gonzaga. A second tier of proven coaches who might be more attainable includes Texas Tech's Chris Beard, Marquette's Steve Wojciechowski, Louisville's Chris Mack, Providence's Ed Cooley, Notre Dame's Mike Brey and Arizona State's Bobby Hurley.
Then, as always, there is the third option of going in-house, where Butler's LaVall Jordan, Niagara's Patrick Beilein and Michigan assistants Saddi Washington and Luke Yaklich all have close ties to Beilein and would offer a less turbulent transition, albeit at the cost of head-coaching experience.
You can eliminate the first 6 along with Beard and Brey because they're not going anywhere....unless Wright takes the '76'er's job if it opens up. My best guess is LaVall Jordan. And I'd also guess that Tom Crean is interviewed for the job.
