Why would anybody watch?  You're not going to get any answers at all.  It'll just be more generic fumbling and talking about Morris' ankle, toughness, execution, and coaching better.  I've been tough on some of the press for being douches in their questions this season, but for once, at least, there deserves to be some tough questions that deserve honest answers.  But none will come.

Will begin with a statement saying he can't/won't talk about Shane Morris, then will evolve into a longwinded speech about how he thought the team's preparation was good, the leadership is good, and how their goals are still on the table.

Well... count: 24

"Did you go through the protocol?"

"Like I said, you'll have a statement from our medical department."

 

Another question...

"Hindsight is easy.  Again, you're being hypothetical and we're not going to be working in hypothetics?"

 

Angry and aggressive towards the press.   Yelling.

because even though I liked RR's openness I always found him difficult to listen to in interviews.

 

But this guy is something.  This is the man standing front and center for 'Leaders and Best' and he can barely make an intelligent sentence.

Yes, it was his decision whether Shane could play.  He is responsible for the personnel that plays in games. 

The doctors didn't keep Morris in the game after he staggered around punch drunk immediately after a big hit, and the doctors didn't put Morris back in the game three minutes of real time later.

Brady Hoke did.   Why doesn't he just sack up and stop bullshitting?

Just fire him already.  Why allow this to continue 7 more weeks?  What could possibly be had to gain by doing that.

"You'll get it.  Sometime you'll get it."

"Has he been diagnosised with a concussion""

"I don't know."

"Was it targetting?"

"Yes."

"How'd you know there was no head injury"

"Again.. I'll... their statement will speak for itself."

Brady always talks about players and coaches being accountable to one another. He is showing absolutely none of it. This is disgusting. I never want my team to lose... but man, maybe getting smoked @ Rutgers and getting whooped on National Television against PSU will make some heads roll..

Oh why hasn't what happened yet? Getting rolled on television for the whole world to see? Clearly it has. My point is I feel as though this coaching staff and administration is on the wait and see approach. 

I firmly believe that they think ever week is the "we'll show umm this time, week." Maybe we need a couple more poundings for it to truly settle in... This Is No Longer Michigan...

"When a kid goes like this to the trainer, that tells you something."

YOU IDIOT. It's NOT about what the KID feels. It's about what the MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL can tell you. A kid's going to play through anything. Concussion protocol is in place to stop that exact scenario from happening when he's got a concussion.

that Morris was making his first start over a healthy Gardner and was struggling mightily in doing so and what do you think the chances are that he would willingly come out of the game? He doesn't want to give up the starting QB position. This is absolute lunacy. 

Also, he said in the post game presser that the medical staff cleared him to play, but he didn't know if he had a concussion. Well how could they clear him to go back in without assessing him for a concussion? What sort of medical staff would look at that guy and not at least assess him for a concussion? The ineptitude of this program is almost comical if it wasn't so sad!!!

This is awkward....

"Shane stumbling on the field..."

Hoke: "SAY THAT AGAIN"

"Shane walking on the field..."

Why Shane was stumbling:

Hoke: "His ankle gave out... that's what he told me"
