So far Hoke is hitting the points that he's needed to...
...it's too early to tell in recruiting but he's brought back Jackson, kept Denard, kept Martin (and there was a chance he was going to the NFL, not a great chance, but a chance >0%), and hired an O-Cord with an okay track record (who's done better than okay when he's had something to work with). Now comes the hard part of hiring a D-Cordinator (if Shannon's out, any chance of Wannestadt, he knows Pennsylvania's recruiting terrain, he's an above average D-Cordinator, and he's friends with Jim Leyland...).

Several teams want him as their D-coordinator. He interviewed in Buffalo.
That's the word from ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter. Wanny is reportedly wanted in San Diego, Carolina, Cleveland and Buffalo.
I'd say our chances are nil. Maybe English wants back in?

Um facts and patterns of
Um facts and patterns of performance are not propaganda. The defensive performance of The Horror and Oregon Bloodbath is not propaganda. The fact that he inherited 3 healthy NFL Pro Bowlers (Hall, Woodley, and Harris), monster Alan Branch, and solid veteran players like Burgess, Biggs, and Jamison, Crable, Jamar Adams, and Englemon is not propaganda. The only area where we lacked extreme amounts of talent was in the secondary...and the secondary sucked bad.
The fact that Ron English's stint as DC at Louisville had his defenses ranked 70th is not propaganda. The fact that in Ron English's EMU defenses rank 106 (2009) and 113 (2010) and were better in all three years before he arrived in Yypsi is not propaganda. Yes I know, it's Eastern...but if he's some defensive mastermind, I'd expect to see at least a little bit of improvement.
I'm really tired of everyone thinking that anyone who agrees with Brian's generally (extremely) well-researched opinions are just toeing the company line. That schtick is getting really old.

...have someone at Michigan call a favor from (apparently) Wanny-friend Jim Leyland to try to talk his buddy to MIchigan? Yeah, I know, not likely, but still.
Though, for whatever reason, Hoke's hires have primarily been people he's been familiiar with from past jobs (with only Borges, Wellman, and Fred Jackson not having been people who only made D-I coaching with Hoke at Ball State).

Those are two guys I perhaps unrealistically hoped would stay. Frey has done an excellent job with the offensive line both in recruiting and in development and Rod Smith has done a very good job working with Denard and Tate. Kinda bummed to see them go. Man if we look back at the 2008 crap fest at both of those positions and how well they developed in the 3 years compared to RB, WR, slot, and TE. I think it's fair to say those guys earned their paychecks. Rod Smith was also a hell of a recruiter for us in FL.

Slightly OT: speaking of position coaches
Slightly OT: speaking of position coaches
For what it is worth, I just spoke with one of the position coaches at Wake Forest, who told me that Hoke has a strong national reputation among his peers and is an excellent hire. I was skeptical when Hoke was first announced, but I am starting to rethink things. Denard, Martin, and Fred Jackson staying are huge pluses.

I was hoping for maybe an off-coaching staff rehire of Jackson to a football related part of the AD and a hire of Wheatley, but this is just as good. I like Jackson as RB coach.

Just to name the most obvious. He started out with nothing but a monster arm and a stumble, by the time he left he was a pretty darn good college QB who slid around in the pocket sans the stumble.

I want to say...
I want to say...
That every QB he's coached in college was drafted in the NFL, save Henson (who would have been had not played baseball). I don't know that for sure, but he's a helluva QB coach and was able to get Tebow drafted in the first round.

Yes
Yes
Florida brought in Loeffler to work with Tebow to make him a more well-rounded QB and greatly improved his draft status. It was a reach, but that reach was starting games as a rookie and will be starting more next year. I think we could use someone to polish Denard's mechanics for the next two years. I agree that Brantley didn't have a good year, but ask any Florida fan who they blame for that. Loeffler or Addazio?
You have to be kidding about Henne. The guy was a 4-year starter for us and another NFL draft pick and starter. Maybe that "regressing" you are thining of was his busted ass shoulder he had his senior year.
You're entitled to your "meh" opinion, but judging by most of the people around here (and in the college coaching ranks), you're in the minority. He's a good coach and we'd be well served to have him back

I think that Tebow would not have gone in the first round if not for McDaniels being on the dumber side of the NFL coaching spectrum.
