Fire Hoke

Submitted by LordGrantham on

It's time. There is more than enough evidence. Can anyone give one good reason why this guy should remain head coach at Michigan?  He was a mediocre MAC coach and has shown nothing to suggest that he's capable of leading us to success.  Fire him now, and take Brandon with him.  I'm really not being emotional here, it's just objectively obvious.  The guy is a bad coach.

The supposed talent of recruits vs talent on Saturdays is as big if a gap as I've ever seen. Player development is laughable. D line is his specialty and ever since Mike Martin left we haven't had a single rush presence.

The standard is winning!  I don't care if the man is a saint or a sinner!  Just get the job done!  I am not interested in how nice or good a guy he is!  If that was what mattered, hire a priest! 

If you have to continously bring up someones personality traits as their redeeming quality when discussing job performance, that tells you he isn't getting the job done!

Living in Indiana, I at least appreciated the fact I had never witnessed a Michigan team in my lifetime put forth efforts as pathetic as ND's '03 and '07 performances.  Not any more.

...because before Hoke got here, UM was a national powerhouse that was cranking out National Championships on the reg. Totally forgot about that. Must be drunker than I thought.

Anybody arguing otherwise is delusional. We are getting shutout by a mediocre ND team. We are in year four and haven't beaten a good team on the road yet. If you really want Michigan to be Michigan again we need to get rid of Brady. He's a great fan of Michigan, but he can't fucking coach. He looks lost. He was a sub .500 guy that we never should have hired anyway.

be to bring in candidates that have a strong track record of success at whatever level they have coached.  I wouldn't be afraid of an assistant if I felt he was the right guy.  The main qualification would be that he must demand and get the most out of players and coaches.  I couldn't give you a name at this point, but I do know that Brady is not the answer, so I must go another route.

It took Hoke 6 years at Ball State for Hoke to succeed.  So just 2 more years guys.

I am shocked at this shit.  Mattison too.  The offense was maybe a year away.  Defense? Hell no.  Hoke is a defensive coach to boot.  You should be great with 2 defensive coaches on your fucking team like MSU is on defense (when not playing fucking oregon).  Sorry. Just mad.  

 

No progress at all. And I dont care about the 6 wins coming versus crap OOC and Big 10 teams.  A good UM team should be competing with MSU for the championship of this shit conference.

Everyone has their breaking point. This game was mine. Completely non-competitive on the road during his entire tenure. This defense was supposed to be a one step away from world conquering and they are soft as baby poo. I'm drunk.
