So many shots on the board at Hoke....and almost all of them loved by the community.  The guy might not be a great coach and has earned his departure, but he sure passes the "good guy" and "would have a beer with him" test.  Piling on RR (who would have been just as happy to coach at any school signing the check) was verboten here, so why is everyone so cool with trashing a guy loves Michigan as much as anyone here?

Ignoring their coaching performances (both of which were bad at Michigan), RR discussion was always couched with "he's a great guy".  The great guy who made tons of enemies (not just in A2...consider the high school coaches who hated him as well).  Hoke seems to be a great guy (with that being his main positive trait) and folks here shit on him constantly.  It's a strange one.

I believe I saw Derek Dooley and John Blake get in the "Anyone" line just now. Perhaps we do need to have a minimum requirement after all. 

Also, Bobby Williams just faxed over his resume with a certain portion of it blacked out with a Sharpie, if I had to guess.

How many times do we have to go through this.  The ath. Dept has made two risky hires in a row and both have turned out badly.  If there is a third, this program will play in fromt of 30,000 empty seats every week.  We are not in a position to take a chance on anyone.  THIS MUST BE A HOMERUN.  Harbaugh is the No. 1 target, if that falls through, it's the next proven winner, most likely Miles, after that it starts getting risky, Mullen, Patterson and Herman at OSU, getting very risky now.....The Sciano's of the world are just angrier versions of Hoke.  No better.  This program can't go 8-4 every year.  If we do that, we'll be at best 3rd in our division every year.  You can't sell tickets and suites based on those numbers.  This is not that hard to understand.....And no, Fitzgerald, Stitt, et al are very risky.  We need someone who has been there and done that.  The list is very short.
