“The player development is the main thing I like (about Michigan),” Williams said. “You can see that they develop their players. They get them in the gym and they work them hard. And their hard work pays off.”
FWIW. Michigan doesn't seem inclined to get re-involved.
From Portage Northern.
"He's a hard worker, and he watched me and Tim (Hardaway Jr.) and Nik (Stauksas) put work in to become (first-round picks), and I'm just happy he's getting better," Burke said. "It's great for the program, too. It shows what type of program the University of Michigan is and the direction it continues to go in."

I'm not pro-Borges, but I don't want Hoke to fire the guy unless he is sure that he can attract a good replacement.
for sticking by Borges in his comments during the season, but doing what needed to be done at the end of the season. Seems like a good guy to coach under.
Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm already anxious to read the coming Profiles in Heroism post on the front page.
OMG no fucking way.. I thought after nothing happened last wk it wasn't gonna happen.. Miracles do happen.. There might be hope for this staff after all
Can't be negative for recruiting. Hallelujah!
HAHAHAHA POSBANG! YES!
Do we expect this to affect any of our commited recruits? (but YAY!!!)
He just was not developing our QB's the way I thought he should.
Mr. Hoke, please hire someone competent and also bring in a QB coach, yay!!!
We need a bright innovative mind, that can energize both the players and the database.
Who comes to mind for the hive?
Gotta give it to Hoke: the man can hide what he thinks incredibly well. (That or Dave Brandon is meddling, but if so, at least it's good meddling.)
I'm looking at you Tom Cable !!!! Possible replacement. Yes I said it.
No. Stupid. Hoke would never hire him.
Jdndjeidnfjeoanxidjaoxndiqjdjcidnd?!?!!!&!$/
Wow. You know, I called for his head all year, but now I feel a little bad about it. Hoke did the right thing, but good luck to you in the future Al Borges.
Duplicate post
im not, he was the 3rd highest OC in the country and our offense was horrendous
Sad to see someone lose their job.........ok, I am over it!
Let's find a good, young, dynamic play calling OC.
I can haz a Chad Morris?
2014 >>> 2013
Thank you sweet baby Jesus!!!
Lefty comes home? I know he sucked at VT but could be an option
I posted his name for the replacement job as we'll. he is a QB coach.
Coordinator? We can do better.
Lefty comes home? I know he sucked at VT but could be an option
There is no requirement that the OC need be from M or have any connection. Good recruiter, maybe younger, genius offense mind, etc.
about Borgess being fired. I retain the other 51% of excitement until I see who Michigan ends up hiring as the new OC. Hiring Scott L. would not raise my excitement level beyound a total of 50% for this overall decision. Hoke / Brandon need to hit an absolute home run with this hire. Since Funk and Wellman were "retained" for 2014, getting a second rate OC only gives Hoke / Brandon more time to "fix" our 7 year drought of mediocrity. Pick someone who is young, hungry and up and coming. We do not need a lifelong journey man OC again (ie Mazzone).
2014 is our year so far!
U-M mobile alert........wow. Didnt see this coming.
I'm hopeful for the future of the program, but still feel for the guy losing his job. I was rooting for him to go as much as anyone, but it's hard to "celebrate" this man's worst day of his life.
Thanks for the hard work, sorry it didn't work out.
I agree it's weird to celebrate a firing but "worst day of his life" is a bit dramatic and presumptuous. The man is a millionaire. It's not like he's unemployed and living month to month.
This is not something I'd expect from Hoke, and wonder if Brandon forced it
Hoke's a professional. He didn't let the fans/media push him into doing anything (that's my guess, at least). Why throw your colleague to the wolves just because they're howling? Instead, he took his time and moved forward like true professional. Much respect for the way he operates.
Lefty comes home? I know he sucked at VT but could be an option
Rob Chudzinski for Michigan OC
I could not believe it! That just happened! Wow
NOOOOO!!!!
god I hope you're being sarcastic.
Very glad to hear this news. But at the same time, no doubt Big Al did pour his heart and soul into Michigan while he was here, so sincere appreciation for that. Still, ONWARD!
Just heard this break on Drew and Mark. Crazy! I didn't see this happening. Hoke shows he might have some balls after all.
Bye Bye Borges!
I just tried pos banging everyone but the board is so. slow. right now.
who's available/would be a good fit?
is this site still functioning? I figured it would've crashed by now.
Well it took me about 10 minutes to get logged in. And roughly another 10 to finally access this thread.
HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE 2014!
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!!!
