You know, I bet he will have more of a personality on radio. Well, the players say he was fun and joked around. Well it might come out if he is talking about things he's prepared for. You know, this might be a good move for him.

No need to follow a guy around after he's done coaching Michigan mocking him. All the RR people seem hypocritical in this sense since they complain about everyone attacking RR all the time and then turnaround and treat Brady like shit.

No, not "all" the RR people. Complete straw man. RR was not good at defense. If he got a job as a DC I'd be questioning it. Just like I'm questioning Hole on a radio show. There's a difference between saying things did not go well at UM in *part* because of factionalism and lack of support and blindly supporting the guy. I cannot recall someone posting that RR did no wrong or didn't have his faults, but if they did, they are the minority of "all the RR people."

3-4 years ago Hoke was pooping gold, the best recruiter ever, going to win a national championship in 2015, recruits come in pairs,the second coming of Bo, a Michigan man and now he's too stupid to talk on the radio.... He's the same guy he was 3-4 years just afew million dollars richer, that doesn't sound dumb to me

I remember watching the video of him speaking to a coaches workshop. He was comfortable, in command of his topic, and all in all pretty entertaining. Handling press conferences when things are going poorly or there have been negative or controversial events, is very different than talking about a game for which you are not responsible or providing general football commentary. 

Yeah he didn't deliver here, but he truly loves Michigan and dedicated everything he had to try to restore the program. As far as has been revealed, no one here has the inside scoop on exactly what challenges he faced. He wasn't as good a coach as we hoped, but he wasn't as bad as many here believe. Besides, without Hoke we wouldn't have ended up with Harbaugh. It's been a long strange trip for Michigan football, and while it's not over, we can see the end of the tunnel.

Are they going to let him break down practice film?

"Wellll... As you can see here, the quarterback is practicing tremendously. And here, well, that wideout's got a little bit of a boo-boo, but he's executing well."

DC is a hard sell for a guy who not only failed in his dream job on the big stage, but also has never been a coordinator at the college level. 

Really, it's hard to think of a perfect scenario of where Hoke ends up next that isn't either broadcasting or a mid-major or lower-tier major school taking a chance on him to be head coach.

I would listen just to see if he tells some new stories about his experience at Michigan.  More on the personal level as far as recruiting visits and relationships with players.

Those guys usually do well on radio. He probably will be good natured about his coaching exploits and have lots of insight and funny stories.

I predict he will be back in coaching a year from now too.

One of the worst coaches in the NCAA other than the pedophile protecting Paternos, Bobby Petrino type of coaches. Great guy and I hope he does well. I couldn't bear his voice at Michigan, but maybe I was just pissed.

I hope Brady does well and wish him the best ... but I am having trouble mentally taking what I've heard him do and seeing how that translates positively to a talk show.

I listen to this channel daily during my work day. They insist on putting out-of-work coaches as co-hosts on their shows, and they all sound horrible! They try to give their insight, but it's all just coach speak clichés. I can't imagine this would be an area in which Hoke would impress.
