 Say it aint so!!
From foxsports.com: Quote:
West Virginia coach John Beilein is finally leaving Morgantown — for Michigan.
Beilein, 54, who is coming off an NIT title earlier this week, has accepted the Michigan job, according to sources close to the situation, and will be introduced at a Wednesday press conference.
Beilein is 104-60 in his five seasons in Morgantown and has made an Elite Eight and Sweet 16 appearance. He was close to taking the NC State job a year ago — if not for a hefty buyout in his contract.
Beilein replaces Tommy Amaker, who failed to take Michigan to the NCAA tournament in his tenure in Ann Arbor.
Beilein made about $750,000 per season with West Virginia and will, according to sources, make in excess of $1 million at Michigan.
| Ugh!!!! How about some frickin loyalty? Did WVU drop the ball here or what? I just hope we meet Michigan in the tourney sometime next year and punish them. |
