As anyone who follows the team knows, coach Cheryl Burnett announced her retirement on March 6th after a disappointing 4 seasons at Michigan. Given the teams record and the fact that she was in the fourth year of a five year contract it wasn't too surprising. At that point the AD pretty much has to either extend the contract or the coach becomes a lame duck. Given her record up to that point, an extension would have been hard to justify.
The search for a new coach is underway. As far as I know, nothing has been said publicly by the University about the who they are looking at, but at least four candidates are known because Michigan has asked permission to their current schools to interview them: Bowling Green's Curt Miller, Eastern Michigan's Suzy Merchant, Vanderbilt's Melanie Balcomb and Wisconsin Green-Bay's Kevin Borseth.
