Michigan Men's Tennis Coach leaving for Florida

No, the point is that Florida is a top tennis program & Michigan historically is not. You tried saying there's no barrier to success because Michigan has an indoor facility. You're wrong on that point.  Now you're saying just pay him more than florida!! Y'all always jump on here & throw around other people's money like you're the ones paying salaries as if every decision is that simple. Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth closed & your fingers still when you don't know what the heck you're talking about. Silence is golden. Comparing this situation to Harbaugh not having a new contract is laughable btw.

Why don't  OSU, PSU or Notre Dame have as many coaches plucked away from them?
 

Because, for the most part, they aren’t as successful in the non-revenue sports as Michigan is. The same time Bakich was poached to Clemson, OSU fired their baseball coach for a lack of success. 
 

Why don't we have a new contract for Harbaugh yet. What are we waiting for?

Didn’t we literally give him a new contract last summer? Is he not signed for multiple seasons already? Why exactly are you under the impression that we should be in a major rush to get an extension done? Obviously it’s not negatively impacting recruiting, so what’s the rush here? 
 

I don’t like a lot of things that have happened under Warde. He’s been far from perfect. But I understand why you don’t pay a coach like Bakich when Clemson comes calling. It. Doesn’t. Make. Sense. To. Pay. Big. Money. For. A. Mid-Major. Program. To. Have. A. Middling. Coach. I understand you’re going to lose coaches to better programs. It happens. That’s not on Warde and it’s not as simple as “pay them more.” 
 

You seem to have some personal vendetta against Warde for some reason and your criticisms of him border on irrational. Instead of focusing on the real issues of his tenure, you want to put blame on him for things like Beilein and Hutch RETIRING. Get a grip. 

And exactly how do you know Warde didn't attempt all those things? If you're tapped into the internal working of the AD, by all means spill the beans, otherwise you're assuming none of those happened based on........nothing. 

There is a simple fact in warm weather college sports.....southern teams have an historic advantage in being able to practice and play outdoors much earlier than northern teams. Tennis has been played indoors for a long time and yet no northern schools have won an NCAA title outside of Illinois 20 some odd years ago. The advantage is in perception and recruiting AND the weather.

Also......people move, people want new challenges, new scenery, there may be other family factors involved with illnesses, etc., or....just plain old "tired of Michigan winters." The idea that Warde sits with complete control of all this and that the only thing that matters is waving a HUGE amount of $$ around every time a coach talks about leaving is ludicrous. 

Not to mention......any AD that simply folds and writes blank checks to every coach interested in another job, quite simply, isn't doing their job very well. He's managing a business and I can guarantee you if he went and sprayed enough money to keep a coach there would be just as many people on here trying to crucify him for not being responsible. 

Having coaches poached means you have staff that are in high demand and there is simply nothing to be done about some of them moving on beyond hiring bad coaches that aren't in high demand. 

Warde's job here at this point is to go out and get another great coach to help assure the team doesn't take too much of a dip, hopefully getting a young up and comer that will stay a while and perhaps even elevate the program with time. 

You have absolutely no idea how frequently osu and psu coaches who are good get poached in sports like baseball. You just come from a place that Michigan can be the best at everything and it’s unrealistic. Big ten baseball is the equivalent of the American conference in football. It’s a mid major.
