Whoa! Tom Izzo is going to accept? I mean, I never thought he’d leave Michigan St. ..This is crazy, but I guess LeBron can do this to someone. Well, who knows if he’ll even stay..
But then again, this is just a Rumor.

[FDAPO]

If Tom Izzo doesn’t take the Cavs job…… This guy has a serious learning disability. When 3 million extra dollars is invovled per year….., along with LeBron James and a pro franchise….. Uh

DERP

[Manny_3187Participant]

I don’t think he’s going to accept. He’s been a Mich. St. for too long. Besides i don’t really see him becoming a successful NBA coach unless Lebron stays. He should stick to college that’s his forte.

[TyroberParticipant]

dont see how he can turn his nose up to 25-30 million

[RicoParticipant]

Have fun losing! Cavs are in rebuild mode.

[NYK2010Participant]

Cavs can rebuild pretty quickly though.
Mo Williams and Jamison need to be moved.
Izzo can’t turn down that kind of cash.

[JordanC20Participant]

If he is smart he would stay at Mich St….he is guaranteed to keep his job there no matter how ugly it might get at times in the NBA you could be hired one day then fired the next…

@FDAPO: It’s not always about the money. In the NBA you don’t get the same control and respect over the players like you did in college and it can be very stressful. Ask PJ Carlisimo who forgot Latrell Sprewell wasn’t exactly a wide eyed college kid anymore.

[mj23bestever23Participant]

jordanc20 nailed this one why leave the job security of ms to go to the nba where if u dont win in 2 to 3 years ur fired and im so sick of hearing cant turn the money izzo already has more money then hell ever need duh gotta get paid derrrr duh hes already paid

[OhCanada-Participant]

I think acquiring Tom Izzo is perhaps the first of a list of demands made by Lebron James in order for him to re-sign.I think what is left on that list would be.

-Releasing Delonte West
-S & T for a Max Contract/Premier UFA or a straight up signing:Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Rudy Gay, David Lee, Dirk Nowitzki etc..

There also maybe more but good for Cleveland for taking a step in the right direction.

[SpencerIsHawesome2Participant]

You guys all talk about job security like Izzo doesn’t have any.

Even if he coaches the Cavs, fails, gets fired after 2 seasons there will be a line of colleges making offers for him to coach their respective teams.

I say he takes the cash, tries his hand in the NBA, and if that doesn’t work finds another college job.

[llperez]

like spencer said, it’s not like izzo is ever gonna be out on the streets or at the unemployment line. Mike Montgommery had built a long tradition with stanford, left for the warriors, got ifred after 2 years, then got the cal job. Izzo can always have his choice of college job next and money talks along with the challenge of trying somehting new.

[esperanzafleet69Participant]

fdapo… why would he leave his home state, a possible chance to be an all time great college coach, and his family… for the CHANCE that lebron is comin back… i personally dont think theres a snowballs chance in hell hes leavin state… hes got a much better chance of winning at state this year than taking the risk of lebron leaving…

[FDAPO]

Cleveland is incredibly close to his home… considering how much he will get paid.

[McWinningParticipant]

If he leaves who do you think will replace him? god i hope its not Mike Anderson.
