So, was Brian Wiseman backing out of Islanders gig last week significant?

Things that make ya say ... "Hmmmm .... "
You mean the phone of the Michigan athletic department receiving calls of more complaints and details?
Certainly not other NCAA programs calling Mel. His next coaching gig will be in the KHL (if he’s lucky.)

I wonder what changed the AD from earlier this week siding with Pearson to now siding with the president and Regents.
My guess: A friendly reminder of who employs whom.
But will it be enough for the AD to stay on.

No, I mean recruits who haven't signed NLIs yet.
Gotcha. Agreed.
But that also requires to top programs having immediate scholarship $ available in August
Not sure on this one. Only because why would he back out if Michigan still wasn't sure on Pearson's fate? Who would be calling him to say hey we need you to take over? Certainly not Warde Manuel. Unless we think Warde really wasn't in Pearson's corner and just wanted Pearson to think he was.

The 2022 incomings wouldn't be the target (as they'd have signed NLIs and are probably already on campus).
Now the 2023s and 2024s ...
Will depend on the HC hire. I was expecting some recruit turnover when Jerry York retired but so far BC hasn't lost any big recruits.

Somebody is trying to do a number on Wiseman.

I have to agree with Devildog. You have painted an entire generation with a very broad stereotypical brush. There is no doubt that "some men" don't treat women with respect but to suggest that anyone of a certain age should retire because of your personal experiences is way over the top. You are indeed being ageist.
Just retired as a financial journalist in NY and we older folks have always had to push back against the dinosaur stereotype. But to quote an online commenter: “I’d say that more than any cohort in U.S. history, those over age 50 have had to be more adaptive than any generation before or since, because the bulk of innovation has occurred in our lifetimes."

You quoted wT referring to "some men" in your reply. How is that generalizing an entire generation?

Oh, well. This was always a possibility, and I agree with JD that Michigan wanted this to not be true, as they could have moved on months ago.
Who is next? Some former players do have experience as HC, and many of the HCs had Michigan ties one way or another.
As for wTs thoughts of the 70s and 80s mens having the most issues, I would agree with that, as the most cringe worthy stuff came from men of that era. Not all men, but the worst ones for sure. Feel free to defend yourself, just bear in mind that observations are observations. As well as the people getting fired- since that’s the era of men I saw let go at my corporation. It also matches the complaints I heard from my wife.
Anyway, time to move on. It will be interesting to see how fast a new coach is brought on, since this has been a possibility for so long.

Because this is part of her quote: "And yes, I realize that I am generalizing a group, and being ageist"

Mrs. Pearson, the sources are numerous. All the players, staff, and coaches that came forward are numerous and varied in their link to Mel, but their experiences are consistent. The writer is neither a beat writer with an axe to grind or favor to curry, nor some hack social media "journalist" but a well respected law firm with no dog in the hunt. With the overwhelming amount of smoke, if you can't understand there's a fire burning there really is no hope for you.
As far as Manuel is concerned, I'm with many other posters. If I were sitting on the Board of Regents, I think I'd have been saying, "You really want to keep Mel after all this? You think what he did is appropriate?? All in favor of terminating Warde's contract effective 10 minutes from now, say, 'aye'."
