Borges is Out
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
Holy shit, Batman! O_O
And big ups to Coach Hoke for making the change.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
I'm not pro-Borges, but I don't want Hoke to fire the guy unless he is sure that he can attract a good replacement.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
for sticking by Borges in his comments during the season, but doing what needed to be done at the end of the season. Seems like a good guy to coach under.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
I'm already anxious to read the coming Profiles in Heroism post on the front page.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
OMG no fucking way.. I thought after nothing happened last wk it wasn't gonna happen.. Miracles do happen.. There might be hope for this staff after all

Do we expect this to affect any of our commited recruits? (but YAY!!!)
January 8th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
He just was not developing our QB's the way I thought he should.
Mr. Hoke, please hire someone competent and also bring in a QB coach, yay!!!
January 8th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
We need a bright innovative mind, that can energize both the players and the database.
Who comes to mind for the hive?
January 8th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
Gotta give it to Hoke: the man can hide what he thinks incredibly well. (That or Dave Brandon is meddling, but if so, at least it's good meddling.)

Wow. You know, I called for his head all year, but now I feel a little bad about it. Hoke did the right thing, but good luck to you in the future Al Borges.

January 8th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
im not, he was the 3rd highest OC in the country and our offense was horrendous
January 8th, 2014 at 5:16 PM ^
January 8th, 2014 at 5:06 PM ^
I can haz a Chad Morris?
January 8th, 2014 at 5:06 PM ^
2014 >>> 2013

Lefty comes home? I know he sucked at VT but could be an option
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
January 8th, 2014 at 6:44 PM ^
Coordinator? We can do better.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
Lefty comes home? I know he sucked at VT but could be an option
January 8th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
There is no requirement that the OC need be from M or have any connection. Good recruiter, maybe younger, genius offense mind, etc.
January 8th, 2014 at 6:34 PM ^
about Borgess being fired. I retain the other 51% of excitement until I see who Michigan ends up hiring as the new OC. Hiring Scott L. would not raise my excitement level beyound a total of 50% for this overall decision. Hoke / Brandon need to hit an absolute home run with this hire. Since Funk and Wellman were "retained" for 2014, getting a second rate OC only gives Hoke / Brandon more time to "fix" our 7 year drought of mediocrity. Pick someone who is young, hungry and up and coming. We do not need a lifelong journey man OC again (ie Mazzone).

U-M mobile alert........wow. Didnt see this coming.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
I'm hopeful for the future of the program, but still feel for the guy losing his job. I was rooting for him to go as much as anyone, but it's hard to "celebrate" this man's worst day of his life.
Thanks for the hard work, sorry it didn't work out.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:36 PM ^
I agree it's weird to celebrate a firing but "worst day of his life" is a bit dramatic and presumptuous. The man is a millionaire. It's not like he's unemployed and living month to month.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
This is not something I'd expect from Hoke, and wonder if Brandon forced it
January 8th, 2014 at 5:15 PM ^
Hoke's a professional. He didn't let the fans/media push him into doing anything (that's my guess, at least). Why throw your colleague to the wolves just because they're howling? Instead, he took his time and moved forward like true professional. Much respect for the way he operates.

Rob Chudzinski for Michigan OC
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
NOOOOO!!!!
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
Very glad to hear this news. But at the same time, no doubt Big Al did pour his heart and soul into Michigan while he was here, so sincere appreciation for that. Still, ONWARD!
January 8th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
Just heard this break on Drew and Mark. Crazy! I didn't see this happening. Hoke shows he might have some balls after all.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
Bye Bye Borges!
January 8th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
I just tried pos banging everyone but the board is so. slow. right now.
January 8th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
who's available/would be a good fit?
January 8th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
is this site still functioning? I figured it would've crashed by now.
January 8th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
Well it took me about 10 minutes to get logged in. And roughly another 10 to finally access this thread.
