Beilein has agreed to a 5 year deal with the Cavs

USPS beat me to this, but it deserves its own thread. 

According to Woj, Beilein has agreed to a 5 year deal with the Cavs. B1G fans rejoice!

Michigan’s John Beilein has agreed to a five-year deal to become coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, league sources tell ESPN.

Next week: Michigan turns heel and hires Rick Pitino. The only available coach at this point. Father vs. Son in the same conference. Lol.

I just hope that at some point, he doesn't say that it's not about the money. Because it HAS to be ... Michigan is a much better job than coaching the Cavaliers! 

This is awful timing for the Wolf pups. To be searching for a coach in the middle of May -- ish! 

[HinnyHoosier]

I just don't get this move. Unless it's purely a money jump like Lamar said. Oy, that's just brutal. That's a loss for college basketball. But maybe he wanted out because he was tired of the horribly uneven playing ground.

He wanted to try a new challenge in life. Many people are wired that way.

Why would it be a money jump? The guy has made a ton of money. He’s in his mid60’s, it’s his last shot at the highest level most likely. He doesn’t has to deal with recruiting, FBI scandals, etc. , etc.

And that makes sense. Surely was frustrated with the climate of college basketball. May as well try it at the highest level. I hope he does well.

I think think thats the key. Now he doesnt have to go on recruiting trips and deal with all that stuff almost year round.

Any IU recruit’s looking to jump ship from Michigan?

Sad to see him go. A top flight coach that made our conference and our conference teams better. Tough pill for the University I suppose, but if it's ok for the players to pursue their dreams, then it applies to the staff as well. Wish him well at his new opportunity. 

[theriverpilot]

He would be one of the last names mentioned if you asked me to guess simply because his style fits the college game so well.  Then again, I said the same thing about Brad Stevens.  I hope Beilein succeeds there.

I was thinking the same thing simply based on his age.

OK, after the shock wears off, here's the important question: Does Michigan have any shooters who would want to transfer that we can swoop in on? LOL!

[Brass Cannon]

This would happen a year we only play them once
