Brady Pallante named after Brady Hoke who was recruiting DJ Durkin
Uh huh
In the DetNews story, Dan Pallante was coaching DJ Durkin in HS when he was visited by Brady Hoke, who was on the staff at UM in 1994 and came to recruit DJ. Dan's wife, who was pregnant at the time, met Hoke and decided she liked the name Brady, which is how Brady Pallante got his name. Pallente then ends up being coached by the guy that caused the event to happen in the first place due to his play in HS.
Seems likes at some point a Terminator T600 will show up on campus looking for Pallante since there seems to be a break space time continuum somewhere.

Does anyone else see this guy and think of Mike Leach? No? I'm the only one? Okay.

Fun article. This was my favorite part:
Pallante asked his son about Michigan's shutout of Northwestern last week and how unusual it is to have three straight. "He said, 'Dad, that's what's expected,'"
Damn straight

I live in the central time zone, I'll get to see the game a full hour before the rest of you poor SOBs....
Wait....

Wow, I had no idea DJ Durkin had a Brady Hoke tie in, let alone Brady Pallante. Small world, especially in the football community, it seems.

That's.....very slightly interesting?

the T600 has been out of production for years!
And this really does not mean he was named after Brady Hoke, only that she heard the name Brady and liked it.

My son - in - law named his 2nd son Brady. He loves the New England Patriots. He lived up there until after college. We accused him of the name Brady after Tom Brady and he won't say one way or the other. Oh, the first boy is Eli and the third boy Major. I wonder who could they be named after?
October 15th, 2015 at 5:56 PM ^
Eli Zaret and Maj Burns...Hoolihan?

to Hoke coming back as a D-line coach. He can clearly identify D-Line talent as well as develop it. He also loves the University. Mattison is getting long in the tooth, and they are good friends anyways so I am sure they could co-exist on the staff.
It should be a couple years from now, when most his recruits are gon, but I think he was exposed as lacking in many departments as it pertains to being a head coach at a big time program and doubt he gets another shot. If he his choice is to be a mediocre coach at a MAC level school or a badass D-line coach who could perhaps get promoted to DC at Michigan, he should choose the latter. Of course, not sure his laid back, get fat eating donuts clapping seal style would work with HARBAUGH!

and efficiency of this name and avatar lead me to believe that it actually might be Leon Hall.

Come on, the icompetence thing is overrated. Hoke won a fucking BCS bowl, and had two decent years at Michigan. Of course the wheels fell off due to the young/inexperienced Oline in 2013, and terrible OC in 2014, but I think just about any coach would have struggled under those circumstances. In any case, now we have Harbaugh, who is an upgrade as a coach either way, but Hoke left him a bunch of expereinced and highly rated recruits at everything but the QB position.

you cant believe this season was going to happen like this no matter who was coaching do you?
October 16th, 2015 at 11:27 AM ^
Probably not in the same statistically dominant way, but is it realy that out of the question that Hoke would lose to Utah and beat UNLV, Oregon State, BYU, Maryland and Northwestern?

Anyone else feel like the most worthless employee ever this week?

She met him and liked the name brady. It doesn't say anywhere she liked brady hoke so much she named her son after him.

I named my kid Grady after the Spartan statue.
October 15th, 2015 at 4:04 PM ^
October 15th, 2015 at 4:16 PM ^
but nope...
When we got him in July we named him Bode (after Miller - we are a big skiing family)... but he is known to all as BO.
