Won't be Hoke if it's not relevant to Michigan.
Also, how meta is it that a tweet from Brian is a message board topic.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
Any hire they make is relevant to Michigan because they're coming to Ann Arbor in September 2015.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:16 PM ^
Yeah I also read it that way. It's totally Hoke.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:23 PM ^
This is true. Wasn't Moe's original point, however.
December 10th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
Now it's "We'll miss ya Hary Anderson".
December 10th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
I took "not relevant to Michigan" as "not relevant to Michigan's coaching search." As the one guy Michigan is guaranteed to not hire after firing Brady Hoke, Brady Hoke is irrelevant to our search.
No idea if that's what he meant though.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
I also don't think Brady Hoke to Oregon St is a shocking hire. It actually makes complete sense.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:08 PM ^
here?
December 10th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
Please be Pelini, please be Pelini...
edit: The rumor of the moment is Bronco Mendenhall.

Stitches?
December 10th, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
That guy gets it.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:36 PM ^
December 10th, 2014 at 5:41 PM ^
I had no idea he was the same age as me. He's been to jail 10 times.
December 10th, 2014 at 7:13 PM ^
Yeah. BUT... you have 100,000+ mgopoints!
December 10th, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
Don't sell him short, Indy. He is due another comma to make that one million mgopoints!
December 10th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
December 10th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
I can just see Brian sweating disbelief and sarcasm through every pore of his body as he types "won't be particularly relevant to Michigan"
as in....
yeah guys itz hoke trolololol
December 10th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^

Unless The Portland Tribune is garbage. If so, all the apolgies.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
Do you mean this guy?
Or Wisconsin's head coach?

Whaaaaat? Strikes me as a pretty big indictment of Alvarez if two separate successful coaches have jumped ship in lateral (at best) moves.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
No kidding. Something's not right in Madison if coaches are jumping ship like this. Is Alvarez a micromanager like Brandon?
December 10th, 2014 at 10:08 PM ^

Something that's been mention in conjunction with the mutual desirabilty of some candidates here.

RT @ESPNRittenberg Wisconsin’s academic policies for getting players in had to play huge part in Andersen’s decision. Had been frustrated.
I wonder what the reaction to the 59-0 loss was from Alvarez.
December 10th, 2014 at 5:57 PM ^
The relevant part isn't paywalled.

"Gary Andersen does not want out at Wisconsin, but those familiar with the program say the second-year coach is becoming increasingly frustrated by the school’s admissions policies.
Additionally, Wisconsin has been slow to evolve when it comes to paying assistants what has become customary market value elsewhere.
“He’s afraid of losing Dave,” a coach told me, referring to Badgers defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who should have been a Broyles Award finalist after the outstanding job he’s done in 2014.
Whichever SEC teams miss out on Will Muschamp -- whether it’s Auburn, Texas A&M or South Carolina -- could wind up pushing for Aranda. Each would likely offer in the $1 million per year range.
Andersen came from Utah State and is making a little more than $2 million a year. If another comparable program came with an offer, he would likely be listening -- if for no other reason than to get the administration’s attention. Then again, it let the last guy walk.
The chasm between the coaches and board’s wishes has been widening the past five or so years, one source said, adding that it’s the biggest reason why Bret Bielema left for Arkansas.
Could Andersen be next, or will Wisconsin change with the times?"
Head coaching salaries are crazy enough; now it's filtering down to assistants. Meanwhile, the players have to be content with stipends that may or may not cover their costs, and the ticket prices keep escalating.

This has to be a poorly chosen way to not saying that his boss is a douche. He pulled a reverse Harbaugh.

Oregon State is one of the worst academic schools in the Pac 12. Wisconsin is one of the top 10 public schools in the country. While that's not conclusive, it's very believable, perhaps likely, that the academic standards are different.

MSU got a big recruit that Wiscy could not admit last year because apparently they dont play school much either per McDowell's mom. (Craig Evans)
