There are still spread candidates out there, and there is still Chucky. As long as it isn't Hoke, we're still OK.

Very happy, thank you very much.
Why don't we just see how this plays out. It's been a flippin week.

JH went to the NFL, LM decided to stay where he is currently successful. Had we not contacted and met/discussed the opening with them you would all be screaming that we did not offer it to them.
Make up your minds, either you wanted us to attempt to land these guys or not. You can't demand we get one of them and then whine that they turned us down.
Maybe the past 3 years of how the previous coach was treated made a bigger impression on future coaches than you thought!

My order would have been Harbaugh, then Gruden or Miles, and then Hoke, but remember that Gene Chizik was 5-19 in two seasons at Iowa State before he came to Auburn. 5 and 19!!! People are complaining about Hoke who turned around two programs, and Chizik didn't even turn around Iowa State. Now look at where Gene Chizik is... I'm not saying Brady Hoke is the next Gene Chizik, but at least give him a chance so that he is not unanimously hated by the majority of Michigan fans before he even coaches a down.

If he's the guy, he deserves our support. The only thing that worries me is our recruiting class disintegrating because Hoke isn't a big enough "name" to keep it together.
January 11th, 2011 at 12:57 PM ^
This is because Gruden and his Super Bowl ring is coming to town right?
*reaches for the emergency tequila* Hey the bottle is empty? WTF?
Brandon better pull a clone of Bo out (come on Life Sciences department, get yo shit together) or his ass can go back to peddling pizzas.

The sky is falling, our pets heads are falling off, we have no money eat, we have no money to sleep!!
<br>But for real we are screwed! Why would you fire RR and not have plan A or plan B being a sure thing? This makes not one bit of sense! Lord help us.
<br>
<br>PS... Someone please post the doom kitten it fits today!

Most reasonable post I've see. Again, I don't see why we're all assuming that it was Les Miles who rejected Michigan. Maybe after in-person meetings Brandon decided to move on to another candidate, which will hopefully be imminently announced for the sake of my mental and physical health.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
Uh see what had happened was that dave brandon was asking les miles to be in his wolf pack. See brandon is a lone wolf and needed some more wolfs to join his pack. It was all going well till brandon sliced his hand open.

I would like to see a photoshop of DB with a "Mission Accomplished" banner on an aircraft carrier. This is a mess. Can we put Pizza Bob in charge of this search?
January 11th, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
Brandon got played like a fiddle. Wouldn't be surprised that Miles got more money from LSU out of the deal.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
he's going to say no. Aarrgghhh!!! Facepalm, atomic bombs, etc.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:15 PM ^
Would be a little funny...
January 11th, 2011 at 1:03 PM ^
Make it all go away. Are we really going to have a coach for this 4pm players meeting? Or is the meeting simply going to consist of DB telling them...."No coach yet, we are taking our time to find the best possible coach for our future (insert further bull shit here)....."
January 11th, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
Martin set the bar pretty low and somehow, Brandon seems to be limboing under it. Amazing!

The worst part has to be the quote from last night: "I can certainly understand Coach Miles' desire to accommodate his alma mater by speaking with them during their coaching search." Said as he figuratively pats our program on the head and whispers, "There, there."
All the morons who ran RR out of town are getting what they wanted, right? A better coach?
Or not.
All together now: "We are ND!!"
Thanks, Pizza Man! You SAVED us!!

So, if as rumored there is a team meeting at 4, what is the point unless he has Hoke already signed? But if so, when did he even meet with him to interview him? Or was it done a long time ago?
It's gotta be Hoke today, doesn't it? Or will he actually let the recruiting process open back up on the 13th without a coach and no real clear direction???
DAMMIT!

Looks like it is BH. Wake me up in 5 years when the program may be back? Good bye DROB it was nice to know thee! Good luck with your next spread team! Sad kitten!
January 11th, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
Okay, so, FUCK everything? FIRE DB. I'll say it again, BRADY HOKE would NOT be considered if he didn't have Michigan ties. Michigan ties are supposed to be supplemental, i.e. "oh, he's a great and proven winning head coach AND he is a Michigan Man so he's our guy". Not "oh he has a losing record and has run some vaguely mediocre midmajors, but he went to Michigan, so, he's our guy."
Fire Brandon. He has ruined everything. DOOM.

Tommy Tuberville would be a fantastic candidate IMO, if he's interested in the gig.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:11 PM ^
But they're not exhausted. DB can still make a great hire, then say something along the lines of "we only offered the job to one person"
<br>We may not have wanted him. But if we did, this is a disaster.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:11 PM ^
Time to get behind the one man who actually wanted to come here in the first place... It is, was and will be his dream job (and we can probably afford him). The football program brings in 150+ million a year and they wont spend anything to get Harbaugh or miles here. thewolverinie.com reports that had we offered JH 5.2 mil as was falesly reported, he would be here... SHOW THEM THE MONEY!!! Or expect to be the new indiana/minnesota...

I have submitted my resume and been contacted. My Division 3 playing experience has qualified me for the job. I will be accepting the job saving all of you the pain of Brady Hoak.
