Accountability? Is that something other than a word that starts with the letter "A"?

Resigning isn't really a realistic expectation to have of Hoke. Firing him is db's job so blame him for keeping hoke around. As an aside, resign and re-sign are really similar but completely opposite
October 26th, 2014 at 3:09 AM ^
but wasn't there that whole statement in the intro presser where he said he'd leave if it became clear he wasn't getting the job done? I couldn't find the exact quotation, but I think that's a close paraphrase. I guess he meant at the end of the season.

it's also a word that ends in "Y".
As in, "Y did you make this thread?"

Even if Hoke wanted to he would be an idiot to resign. He has a 3 million dollar payday still comming.

That's the sad irony here. Hoke loves/loved Michigan, and gave it his all, but he will be despised for taking a limping program and unfathomably dragging it down further, into laughingstock territory, and then walking away with well over 8 figures of university money. I don't know man. Guess I don't have the ego to every be a head coach because if I were Hoke, and I'd had shit the bed as brutally as he has over the last 3 years, I just could not live with myself without giving some of that money back to the university, as a way to say I am sorry at my brutal futility. But no, he'll walk away and take the money, and the extra $3M, and reasonable alums like myself will not be able to help despising him for that, and for how he left the program.

about taking money the university willingly pays out.
October 26th, 2014 at 2:14 AM ^
Doggy. Also, Brady hoke sucks. That's all I have to offer.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:31 AM ^
Hoke tried to look up the word Accountability in the dictionary once....
He didn't see it.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:41 AM ^
He wasn't fully aware of it.

But at least he was somewhat aware of it
October 26th, 2014 at 12:06 PM ^
And then he clapped. Because he did a good job practicing looking it up.

And Captains are always the last ones to go down with the ship. But what isn't known is he has his scuba gear and underwater propolsion contraption to move that pallet of 2 Million dollars waiting for him.

He might not be completely aware that the ship has hit the iceberg yet.

Hoke should be held accountable, but he's also the head coach. If he quits, then that screws over the players and puts the program in even more disarray. I'm not saying a change wouldn't help, but he's doing his job and, I suspect in his eyes, that's him being accountable.

In your opinion, bronxblue, how could Hoke show that he is accountable?
- Stay on the payroll, but donate the rest of this year's salary to the athletic department?
- Apologize to the football players and fans?
- Send in a letter of resignation but volunteer to stay on if the regents and AD ask him to?
Hasn't he already "screwed over the players" with how they're been coached and undeveloped?
Personally, I think it would be huge if he accepted responsibility for the last 3 years by apologizing to the players and fans for what has transpired and "gave back" some of what he ahs taken as compensation.
October 26th, 2014 at 10:17 AM ^
Please do!

Treat them like men and maybe they will play like men! Sheesh....

When is the last time a coach resigned because they felt it was best for the program? That's like me quitting my job because while I love where I work, someone else can do a better job that me. That notion is ridiculous.
October 26th, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
Why can't a failed football coach resign, especially one that "loves" the school he is working for? Martin worked for nothing to become UofM's AD. Brandon took a big step down in salary to be the AD.

It would be pretty stupid for Hoke to walk away from several million additional dollars by resigning. If you quit, you walk away from your buyout.
That wouldn't be good accountability to his family's future.
He needs to be fired, and the accountability for that is on Brandon. In addition, Brandon needs to be fired, and for that Schlissel is accountable.
