4:30 PM Press Conference to update on the status of Hoke
Writing is on the wall here:

Time to start a new thread titled, "But what if Hoke stays?"
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
Gonna make some popcorn.
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
Just so we're all clear -
We are sending coaches to talk to kids that are no longer employed by the University.
The incompetence of the athletic department never ceases...
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
I really hope you're kidding.
They're sending in the guy who's coached these seniors for the last four years and who's been in there with the team day in and day out for the entirity of almost every player on the roster's time at Michigan. They're going to let him tell them that he's being let go before they hear it become official through the media. Just so we're all clear.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
Ha, I really screwed that up if that's what people think I meant.
I was referring to the assistants being out on the road talking to recruits.
I cannot imagine a situation that would look worse than a coach coming in, saying whatever it is that these assistants have to lie about to the recruits, and then literally a day later they are all fired.
Sorry for any confusion, I absolutely think Hoke should be able to talk to the current players.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
But then, you're assuming that the assistants will all be fired today too, which probably isn't happening. Chances are they all stay until the new coach is hired.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:10 PM ^
I think they sent the assistants out on the road yesterday to personally tell the recruits that they were being let go, and to try to get as many as possible of them to still stay with Michigan. I don't think any of these coaches will leave Michigan on bad terms, they all understand the situation.
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
he is extending his contract. Let the vomiting begin.
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
Goodbye Hoke
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
I bet he gets to coach the bowl game. Good luck wherever you land, Coach Hoke!
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
I guess 4:30 pm is better than 1:00 am...amirite??!!
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:02 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
Terry Foster tweeted: I cannot officially tell you Brady Hoke is being fired. But I can tell you that Michigan's next coach will be wearing a headset
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
Ok, so all other coaches that don't wear headsets are eliminated from consideration. That elimantes......
exactly nobody. Including my high school coach, who I believe has worn a headset since at least the mid-70's. Damn.
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
If Hoke were being retained, then Hoke would be at the presser. It wouldn't be Hackett's presser.
Isn't there a team meeting at 3 pm? We'll know then, right.
Clearly, you can BK FINEST it that the new coach will have a long NFL pedigree, and his first name starts with a "J."
(I am, of course, referring to Jon Gruden.)

Any time you have a chance to interject an unfunny Ferguson joke into a football thread, you just have to take it.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
Opportunities like this don't come around often. Still feel like a douche though. Low hanging fruit...
December 2nd, 2014 at 4:53 PM ^
Your contrition is commendable. Go in peace.
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
I will be at work. Is there a way to watch the presser online or on my iphone?
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:01 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
4 more years! 4 more years!
December 2nd, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
If Hoke is let go today, who do you think they assign as the iterm head coach?
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:06 PM ^
I'm curious. What exactly would the job duties be for an interim head football coach for a team not going to a bowl game and with no practices scheduled?
Perhaps I could take a swing at it.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:14 PM ^
I just coached my all star tyke team to a championship, can I help?
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:32 PM ^
Manball or Basketball on Grass?
December 2nd, 2014 at 7:10 PM ^
Manball. With extra man, since I am Canadian. We play with 12 (legally) on the field.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:34 PM ^
I'd assume recruiting is the main thing, as much fun as that has to be right now.
I'd guess that Nussmeier will be named Interim, may be why he is on the road recruiting, and not in Ann Arbor.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:41 PM ^
Nuss...

Will all the "we cant even fire a coach before a banquet" alarmists now go eat a lemon?
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
Anyone know if this will be on radio or BTN like the Dave Brandon conference? What about online stream?

but if this happens, I will be surprised.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:13 PM ^
How many times to insiders have to tell people before they'll finally believe it? CARR IS NO LONGER INVOLVED WITH THE MICHIGAN FOOTBALL PROGRAM. He has other things to worry about and there's a 0.0% chance he'll be named interim anything following this firing.
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
nobody is ever going to listen to you again after you fucked up that crop report thingy.
December 2nd, 2014 at 3:05 PM ^
and everybody knows that MD is Carr's lap dog. . .
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:48 PM ^
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:02 PM ^
Only a couple of hours to learn Hoke's fate and only up to 3ish months to learn his successor!!
December 2nd, 2014 at 2:02 PM ^
noone would hold a presser to announce a guy is going to finish his contract. he gone!
