Prediction re: coaching change / AD firing
1. The Utah debacle
2. The media frenzy this week following said Utah debacle (SI, rolling stone, gameday, Desmond calling us out, and a ton more)
3. The alleged letter to the regents from former players, the complete and total shit show of this Minny game
4. Oh, I forgot, the ND debacle, since comparatively, it wasn't that bad
5. Morris concussion / injury management
6. Paying Morris when he clearly couldn't move the ball (even prior tithe injury)
7. The players only meeting tomorrow
8. The mattison / Hoke sideline fight
9. The rumored Nuss / Hoke locker room fight
10. The rumored divisions in the locker room (much of which was really evident from our sideline
11. 2013 - all of it (which, while not in the pat 8 days, isn't looking that bad right about now)
What is the prediction from this blog as to whether we see any changes in the coaching staff or AD, and if so, when?
My prediction: firing the ad takes a long time. I expect, though, that Hoke is gone on Monday. They will name either Nuss, mattison or even DB himself as interim and start a search immediately. Hoke's handling of the Morris injury gives DB the perfect excuse to fire hoke and take some heat off for the rest of the season.

Me too. I'm 24.

I don't think Brandon wil fire Hoke on Monday. That's not a Michigan move, really. But, if he does, they name Nuss the interim head coach and Nuss starts winning games... who knows.
I feel like the play calling is very conservative, and I don't think it's Nuss. I think Brady wants to keep it close to the vest and Nuss wants to open it up.

Is there any evidence to support your feelings that Nuss and Hoke disagree about playcalling or the direction of the offense?
September 28th, 2014 at 8:13 AM ^
I'm putting this here because this is the first place I've heard it mentioned but, if Dave Brandon takes over as head coach for even one game I will very literally shit in my pants.
September 28th, 2014 at 9:28 AM ^
I like the idea of DB trying his hand at coaching; it would be hilarious to see.
However, I have no idea why this would cause you to move your bowels while your pants are still on, "literally".

Since it's Brandon's job to fire him then my prediction he doesn't get canned until 2-3 weeks into January. Every AD knows it's bad business to fire a guy midway through the season and I honestly think that Brandon and Hoke are isolated from the outside world. Also, he waited a long time to can RR and lets not forget that Hoke and Brandon are buddies.

Here is a crazy (probably stupid) idea. Name Mike Hart the interim coach and tell him that he can have the RB coach job when a new coach is hired.
Go after Les Miles to groom Mike Hart to be his successor.
We need someone who is fiery and tell it like it is (and also with a loose tongue).
I am sick of this family atmosphere crap.
How I wish we can have Tom Brady (if he ever wants to coach and be successful). That guy is fiery. Just like Jim Harbaugh. He won't give up. May be a 2025 project?

If ESPN, ABC News or NBC News gets hold of the Morris story and if there is more to it than just on field debacle, I don't see Hoke coaching the next game.
Let us pray that the national media is on to the story.

Brandon has explicitly stated he believes in fixing things that aren't broken.
Does he also believe that broken things shouldn't be fixed?

The end is near, my friends. However, I highly doubt they fire either Hoke or Brandon midseason. The Morris situation yesterday was egregious, but firing a head coach after the 5th game may make a terrible season even worse.
