Brady Hoke Eats Coaching Awards For Dinner
Who's the man? You're the man.
In a world where CJ Barnett is a better safety than Jordan Kovacs, a 10-2 Michigan team must be coached up the wazoo, to the hilt, and beyond. Lo, it is so.
PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- The Big Ten Conference announced Wednesday (Nov. 30) that University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke was chosen as the Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year, as selected by conference coaches, and the Dave McClain Coach of the Year, as picked by the media.Hoke is the sixth first-year coach to earn the McClain Coach of the Year award, which dates back to 1972 and is named for the former Wisconsin coach. This is the inaugural awarding of the Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year honor, which pays tribute to Ohio State's Woody Hayes and Michigan's Bo Schembechler.
This will be the only time in the history of the award someone from Michigan or Ohio State actually wins it. This is Hoke's third COTY award in four years. Neat trick, that.

Senior center David Molk, who on Monday was named the Big Ten's top offensive lineman, said this week Hoke earned the honor.
"He deserves it," Molk said Monday. "I love him. He's a great coach. He's a great mentor. He's a great friend. He's every single thing you want a college coach to be and he does it flawlessly."

You can see Denard's enthusiasm for being interviewed by Urban Meyer, probably going back to when he was recruited by him back in Florida.
Denard has shown that like Desmond Howard, he performs BEST when in spotlight big games (though not as consistently as Des, but watch out for next year).
So my prediction is that Denard will light up CBus next Nov. in an epic effort to impress Meyer and show him what he missed out on.

Hokeamania was a shoo-in this year. The second act will be much tougher.

While Hoke is turning the tide on the rivalry and pointing a lot, the cro-mags on RCMB and elevenwarriors will be recycling the same fat jokes in the hopes that they'll eventually become funny.

Do we know if the vote for Coach Hoke was unanimous or was there a close second choice?

Here we are, 3 years later, the "glow" of hiring Hoke is gone and this board is openly considering who will be our next coach while he's still on the sideline. We now attribute the success of 2011 to Denard who, we now believe, won inspite of Hoke's clear ineptitude. Oh, and we're the ones calling him fat.
*shaking head*
It's amazing how quickly we go from "there" to "here."

Now we're in the final moments before we *hope* that Harbaugh is named our head coach moving forward. Because it is Christmas, and there's nothing left to do, I'm just hanging out in old threads.
Hi to whomever else is back here!
