Woj: The University of Michigan's John Beilein interviewed for the Detroit Pistons coaching job on Thursday, league sources tell

I dont think theres the slightest reason to panic but a little shocking to see that pop up on Twitter
Did Warde Manuel recently get outbid by Creighton when JB was trying to get their top assistant? Is JB using this as leverage?
1. Standard negotiation technique
2. Help recruiting (shout out to Gucci Mane)
3. Prank the MGoBlogosphere
4. Curious what it would feel like to have a job and knowing you'd get fired
Take Matthews instead and let us keep Beilein!
The Pistons have by far the worst roster situation in the league, with a drugged out owner, no GM and a dead fanbase/empty arena. Anyone who thinks there is a nonzero chance of him leaving for the PISTONS need to be checked for brain rot.
after what I think was Blake Griffin's first game as a Piston?
I wasn't paying full attention to what was going on, & I just thought the Pistons were doing some charitable work with a mentally handicapped person. My wife said "That is Tom Gores!"

That's Tom Gores? I was thinking Ben Stiller was really letting himself go.
is that gores or booger from revenge of the nerds?
Owning an NBA team would be a fitting story for Booger.
NO! NO! 1,000 times NO!
I don't care if Beilein is the only thing on this planet that would save the Pistons from being an eternal turd. STAY AWAY FROM HIM HE'S OURS
and in Detroit. A few texts, a few calls. a few conversations.
He gone.
Relax, enjoy your weekends.
I thought you were a strictly football guy but this is still reassuring
He will be back.
my deepest apologies
I doubt Beilein leaves, but if he ever seriously considers it you need to walk to his office with a blank check and tell him to write in whatever amount he wants.
The guy looks and acts like a college professor, hosts mulch madness, and probably has a jar he puts coins in every time he uses words like and "darn" and "shucks.
Its one thing to take an interview (afterall, he probably hasn't (and likely won't again) interview for an nba hc) job. Taking it is something else. Even if offered, I would be shocked if he took it.
And his assistants too
MICHIGAN MONEY CANNON READY TO FIRE.
No offense to Belein but I cant see him as an NBA coach now. Different ball game and he's old now. Only way I'd believe it and any NBA team wanting him is if he had been dominating all of college basketball for the past 5 years. He hasn't.
How much are we willing to pay to keep him?
Funny how we're having this conversation after many wanted him to hit the bricks not too long ago. Not trolling, just in genuine awe of the sports roller coaster. You have to stop and appreciate it sometimes.
Let the mgopanic commence!
This is kind of perplexing. Beilein certainly doesn’t seem the type to threaten leaving in order to force a salary increase for himself. That strategy could certainly have negative consequences on recruiting. And is Manuel so tightfisted that Beilein needs to threaten leaving to get a higher salary for his assistants? Has Beilein’s relationship with Manuel really deteriorated to that extent? Perhaps he is just serious about moving on. Plenty of unanswered questions. Like I said, perplexing.
