If he does that while holding a cat in one hand and a stuffed beaver in the other, I'm a Hoke fan for life.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:30 PM ^
Hoke resigns. Harbaugh does a leapfrog over him from the curtain where he guarantees Michigan beats Ohio State in 2015 and 2016, the 30th anniversary of his RS Jr and 5th year senior year.
September 22nd, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
Hoke resigns (not happening) it would not be unprecedented to see an NFL coach (Bobby Petrino) leave his team (Atlanta Falcons) during the season to go back to college (Arkansas)...looking at you Jim Harbaugh. This would be the absolutely ideal situation. Jim comes and in stabilizes recruiting, allows Nuss and Mattison to do their thing, and judges who is capable of remaining on the staff while giving us a jolt of optimism unknown to mankind. I know that is not exactly how it went with Petrino but these thoughts allow me to sleep at night.
Fire Dave Brandon.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:30 PM ^
"All press is good press, Brady - keep up the good work!" - Dave Brandon to Coach Hoke, as heard in my imagination.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:31 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:31 PM ^
is that J. Ira and Nicki Harris have withdrawn their sponsorship of the head coaching position and have filed suit to get their money back.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:35 PM ^
ESPN just piling on.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
I wonder if being on ESPN "encourages" the beat reporters to be a bit more pointed in their questions.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:37 PM ^
Hoke starts the press conference talking about effeciency. No way anything of great interest is coming from this.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
I bet he starts with, "Well," and follows that with, "ah," and finishes up with a "you know."
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
It's pretty boring, but I think he is getting a little more defensive in his answers. To be fair, I haven't actually watched one of his pressers this year.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:38 PM ^
Fuck you ESPN for getting my hopes up.
Drink every time he says "our goal is still out there for the B1G Championship".
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:39 PM ^
You should listen to your elders. Us old farts have been around the block a few times.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:45 PM ^
You're right. I just didn't execute.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
That's not Don's avatar, it's a selfie.
September 22nd, 2014 at 1:12 PM ^
Although I do look marginally better once I've had my morning coffee.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:45 PM ^
ESPN.
September 22nd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
at the University of Michigan, then fuck you. Firing/forcing Hoke to resign mid season would be 1000x worse than letting him finish it. If you watch the games, the talent and IQ is there in the players. There's some sort of disconnect in the gameplan, or we have a QB who has close to zero confidence in himself and has no idea what he is doing. Blame it on the coaching staff if need be, but the problems are deeper than "developing" the talent here.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:37 PM ^
Go home, nothing to see here. :/
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:37 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
I think you mean what a HOKE?!
Ba duum chhhh!~
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:38 PM ^
He is going to announce the the first four games were a frace. Just to mess with the country.
Now we are gonna real try to win, and boy do we have a plan.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:59 PM ^
So kinda like Princess Bride style "I know something you don't....I'm not left handed"?
September 22nd, 2014 at 1:38 PM ^
Hopefully you haven't been mostly dead all day.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:38 PM ^
In an attempt to improve attendance, DB, through Hoke, is announcing complimentary umbrellas the next time they have to evacuate the stadium.

Question: Do you think the program is in a crisis mode?
Hoke: No.

The ignominy continues. This is just embarassing. Same stuff he says every week. Blaming the punt return issues on the punter is particularly eggregious, considering. He just looks and sounds out of his depth, and now for some reason it's nationally televised.
Then he says the team is young and shrugs. Arghhhhh.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:42 PM ^
who is going to ask him if he thinks he's still the best leader for this team?
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:42 PM ^
This is bad - he's making excuses.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
they built it up for a couple hours leading up to 12:30... and it was as typical as any other Hoke presser. Not that I expected any bombshells... but what was the point for ESPN?
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:47 PM ^
The point is to get him Fired and make that seat hot. I think someone down in Miami is pulling strings with some of his pals at ESPN.
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:50 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
Hoke: "we're really good in the red zone, but we've got to get there"
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:45 PM ^
That's what she said.
Is he saying that we have a girlfriend in Canada?
September 22nd, 2014 at 12:47 PM ^
OK, we get it!
