Bady Hoke - Special Teams
Next to abysmal defense, the next worst area of performance for Michigan football teams has come from Special Teams. This is not just a recent phenomenon; special teams debacles have haunted Michigan for years. Will Brady Hoke change this tradition?

This seems to be lot like the Brady Hoke resume - a couple of good years among a sea of mediocrity (or worse). Hopefully, there will be more of an emphasis on special teams, but then again, hope is not a strategy.

...oh, wait...that's what I thought about the defense after 2009...
Well, aside from FG kicking, the other parts of ST should be manageable, so if by some miracle we manage to not lose Goudis, then there might be hope.
