Groce’s Bobcats beat Michigan, he leaves for Illinois. Because of that, LeVert goes to Michigan cause Groce had no open spots. LeVert & Beilein slay Groce. LeVert to NBA. Groce gets fired, goes to Akron. Beilein goes to Cleveland, gets fired. LeVert to Cleveland.
But also, before Michigan Beilein was at WVU (because Dan Dakich is a certified idiot). After Beilein went to Michigan, Huggins came to WVU. Huggins got his start at Akron. Who came with Huggins to WVU from Kansas State? Former Ohio Head Coach Billy Hahn.
Am I an idiot? Quite possibly, but I figured I'd share this revelation of nothing with the only group that could possibly care.
Interesting timeline of events. I've heard of Dakich's antics in the past from shabamon, must've been pretty hilarious to see him blow a fuse.
Actually Dakich was pretty smart for what he did and not so sure I'd call him an idiot for not taking the WVU job. He explained the entire situation on a podcast years ago. This was before he became a color commentator for ESPN.
Long story short a former WVU player was promised certain things by the previous regime and Dakich was informed by the AD that they had cleaned up that mess. Dakich told WVU the only way he was going there is if there was no nonsense going on, because he didn't want to get caught up in NCAA stuff that had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, the first couple days on campus Dakich is told by said player that he's still and would continue to receiver the improper benefits and wanted Dakich to get involved. Dakich said no and told the AD he wouldn't be part of that and left WVU.
It was said he wanted a higher salary if he was gonna be putting up with that, but I'm not sure how true that is.
