She certainly could be but no, she is pretty anchored in at GT and seems to love the ATL. Her husband runs a club in Atlanta complete with a full building and staff from Brazil. She has also recruited well internationally. I dont see her moving anytime soon. Not that she is not qualified (she certainly is) I just don't see her moving to the artic from Atlanta. Some of this rests on what the new AD at GTech is willing to do for the program after the season that they have had. While I am nostalgic about the old gym, I think it may be time for a new one, for the recruiting if nothing else. It is a real hindrance. So. If you add it all up, she might listen. I agree with this and honestly thought to myself while they were re-mopping the floor at the Louisville match that it may have been some theatrics for a new facility. It’s honestly crazy that they do not play across the parking lot at McCamish.

It’s honestly crazy that they do not play across the parking lot at McCamish. Especially since the hoops team is so bad. I remember mopping the floors at Heisman Gym back when I line judged for Tech volleyball. This was a huge upgrade. By the way, the Tech locker rooms now sits where the Barbell Club was, I had a key and worked out at all hours of the night.

I am betting Michigan hires a woman. Just my feeling. I do believe Oklahoma and Vandy made solid hires in past 24 hours. IDK if she represents the sentiments of the AD, but UMich softball coach of about 35 years, in the last ten or so years before her retirement, would publicly criticize any B1G school who filled their softball HC opening with a man, but the subject of how that "man" self identified never came up. . What if a genetic female identifies as a man, and a genetic man identifies as a female, which is the correct hire? Switch hitters, which one is natural and the other side becomes learned.

...where the Barbell Club was, I had a key and worked out at all hours of the night. I'm thinking there must be more to this story. Better start a new thread.

What are we guessing the timeline is on this process for Michigan?
It'll be an open position for one week tomorrow...
This is where the timing of this decision has really put UM in a bad spot.

It looks like the University is closed until January 3rd. That doesn't mean the AD for sure isn't working on this, but it very well could mean that HR isn't available for processing paperwork/onboarding and media isn't available for a press release.

I'd hope the AD has the ability to work beyond the confines of the university schedule. Athletics has its own HR and PR teams for a reason. Regardless: it makes the timing of the decision that much more precarious. If the process doesn't even start until next week it just puts the program in even more danger of losing student-athletes and not being able to replace them with quality from the portal.

I heard Notre Dame flew Salima out to the Fiesta Bowl last year while they were courting her. I wouldn’t be surprised if Michigan did the same for their top target. Obviously, Michigan administrators are working over the holidays with the college football playoff and basketball games going on.

Why all the Cliff Keen bashing?
It's cozy, and it really stands out from the others with it's unique design.

When recruits go visit other places with training space, air conditioning and locker rooms bigger than a small closet; they’re probably going to pick new & shiny over old/run down and uncomfortable

As others across the league have improved their facility situations, Michigan has been left behind. Cliff Keen, although cozy and unique, is not a good facility. For me as a viewer - one bathroom, one concession stand, and one souvenir stand - is not prime for a viewing experience. I'm tired of having to guess which set is the best to miss half of so I can grab a pretzel and a pop.

Yeah, it would be perfect for a team that draws like EMU, but for a Big Ten crowd I could see where it would be a little rough. Do they assign seats? Or GA?

I doubt they can get a higher profile coach with their garbage venue. Compared to the rest of the B1G it just isn’t competitive. If there really was institutional support for volleyball at Michigan they would have provided a better venue by now. It’s hard to not notice the venue upgrades at most B1G the past 5 years. This should be a higher profile job than it is.
