Report: Michigan Reaching Out To Bates, Manuel

Manuel, Bates

Per Coaching Search's Pete Roussel:

A source has informed CoachingSearch.com that Michigan has gauged the interest of UConn director of athletics Warde Manuel and Boston College athletic director Brad Bates about their interest in the same position at Michigan.

UPDATE: John U Bacon says nope.

FYI, my proverbial "well placed sources" tell me the reports of UM starting a search for a new AD (Bates, Manual, etc.) are NOT true. FWIW.

Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up.
