They deserve better than this...and this whole concussion issue really is just one drop in the ocean.
Here's to another stretch of holding on for dear life as a Michigan fan.
Go Blue.

says he won't add to DB statement.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:12 PM ^
when asked about communications with DB and when he learned of concussion, he refers back to DB statement.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
Your Honor, plese advise the witness, err, Coach Hoke to answer the question.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:14 PM ^
re his relationship with DB: they're both working toward the same goal, winning football games and supporting each other.
doesn't know if Morris will play this weekend.
won't talk about other injuries.
says DG will have an opportunity again.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:16 PM ^
he's turned over a new leaf in his attitude towards the press.

Why couldn't they just admit that they were wrong a couple of days ago instead of dragging this out? It's almost like Brandon can't stand not being in the press even if it's for negative things. See the scheduling of App State.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:38 PM ^
This is half of the whole issue (other half being the screw up to begin with) . If they just had admitted ASAP that they screwed up , and apologized, most of this controversy would have gone away. Instead they waffled and obscured, and released a statement at freaking 1am, which smells of either attempted coverup or a drawn out internal conflict leading to such a late night release.
Now it's national news and there is nothing they can do that will squash this.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:41 PM ^
Yep. They bite the bullet and apologize Sunday then everyone still has jobs and the media has disappeared by now. Their handling of this has ensured the coverage won't stop until someone is gone. Too ridiculous a story to abandon now.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:42 PM ^
Exactly. Imagine if they had come out on Saturday night and said "Look guys, in the heat of the moment, we made a mistake. It was inexcusable and we're reviewing our protocol to make sure it doesn't happen again. It will be fixed before we take the field again."
They didn't have to divulge anything about Shane or point fingers, and we'd all be talking about how inept the performance of the team was instead of whether or not the program has been infiltrated by people who secretly love MSU and OSU.

not getting fired fellas. Not now at least.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:21 PM ^
It just might not be from Brandon. DB's replacement might be doing that dirty work.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:39 PM ^
It's going to be a while. The search process for a new AD is going to take time - quite possibly beyond the end of the football season. If the new AD then does a search process, we could be looking at a point in time beyond Jan 1 for a new HC to be named.
In the meantime, our recruiting class will consist of the HS All-American equipment manager from the Sisters of Charity and a guy who got lost looking for Mr. Spots and wandered into Schembechler Hall.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
I did that once.
September 30th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
You were an equipment manager for the Sisters of Charity? What was that like?
September 30th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
a lot of time ridding oneself of bad "habits"
September 30th, 2014 at 12:44 PM ^
I can't listen to a single thing this man says anymore. I could handle his dull responses and inability to divuldge information in a well thought out way when I thought the trajectory of the program was up. He seems to be offended that people even ask him questions anymore. This is rediculous.
This has to stop. Hoke continues to make Michigan more of a laughing stock every time he answers a question.
He and Brandon should be gone today, if they are looking for a mid-season easy transition time, make it the bye week, but don't wait any longer.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:17 PM ^
I think Funk should go immediately as well. Why not go get Kugler's dad from the Steelers?
September 30th, 2014 at 12:56 PM ^
Kugler's dad is the head coach of UTEP.
September 30th, 2014 at 1:22 PM ^
get the GA that Wisconsin promoted a couple years ago when they fired their oline coach a few games into the season.
September 30th, 2014 at 1:30 PM ^
Yeah, do something at least.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:17 PM ^
now admits he talked to DB after saying yesterday he hadn't.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
That's not gonna end well.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
lol - what happened next?
September 30th, 2014 at 12:23 PM ^
I'd have the popcorn out. Now I want this over ASAP.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:28 PM ^
September 30th, 2014 at 12:24 PM ^
At this point Hoke's just lying for lying's sake. Legitimately no purpose for it.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:24 PM ^
Possible they talked after the presser yesterday? Who knows anymore.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:25 PM ^
September 30th, 2014 at 12:53 PM ^
Wow, that's damning. It just goes to show that it's nearly impossible to have everyone on the same page when you construct a ton of unbelievable lies. Especially when one of the key pieces has a room temperature IQ.
"Wait, am I supposed to have not talked to Shane and Dave? Eh, screw it *cracks open a Busch*"

You don't hate John Beilein.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
this could have gone in so many threads makes me hate everything too.
Except for Beilein.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:40 PM ^
I too hate everything. Except hot redheads. I'll always love those.

September 30th, 2014 at 12:19 PM ^
Oh Brady just stop talking please.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
What did that statement regarding recruiting mean precisely? "We have a great belief in what we do and how we're doing it" - I am not sure what the takeaway message is supposed to be on this one.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
For a guy who doesn't talk about injuries, he sure talks a lot about injuries these days.
September 30th, 2014 at 12:24 PM ^
Well when you're too big of a fuck up you end up having to talk about them, right? I mean seriously it never ends with his constant ineptitude
September 30th, 2014 at 12:23 PM ^
So did anybody follow up on the "I didnt talk to Brandon" comment yesterday? Or did Hoke simply say "Oh.......you meant THAT Dave Brandon. My bad. I thought you fellas were asking about a different Dave Brandon. Sorry!"
