I'm Done with Brady Hoke

Game over. 

If David Brandon had said, "OK, I was wrong and MANBALL doesn't work" and subsequently hired a spread OC, would Michigan be 2-2 right now?   (Yes, I have given up on this game.)

with ya.

Game was over before it started. Hoke has shown zero ability to field a competitive team

Yeah. I'm out too. 

I was on board with RR from the beginning until the end.

I got on board with Brady right away to try and stem the negativity in the hopes that what happened to Rich Rod wouldn't happen to Brady, even though it was a questionable hire.

Now, it's over. It's done. He needs to be fired.

Honestly, looking forward, I do not want the hear the words "Michigan" and "man" in the same sentence during the coaching search. Just go out there and get the best guy for the job, even if his name is Ohio Spartan. Don't care, just find the best guy and hire him.

I also think we really just need to clean house with regard to just about everyone who has anything to do with football. The old blue network is dead. It's decrepit and there are too many people just clinging to what Michigan football used to be instead of pushing it forward.

We've protected and clung to our "tradition" so much we've allowed it to kill/stifle our future. 

We're the underdog now. We need to be hungry again, not the Michigan of old. That's dead.

We need to build a new Michigan. A better Michigan that can compete in the 21st century.

Plenty of other programs have done it. It's not impossible. We have the resources, we just need to have the willpower to go through with it.

The past is dead. We need to build toward a new future of Michigan football. 

 

Commence board meltdown.   

Release the dogs.

Hire Jim Tressel.

Put in Shane Morris with 10 minutes left. What does that accomplish? No urgency at all. How about playing like you still want to win? No passion. No coaching. Good bye Coach Hoke. 

You simply cannot sustain drives with the inaccurate passes. The only thing consistent about him is his inconsistency. Devin is as tough as they come, but unfortunately that can only take you so far.

I lost confidence when he seemed to have no real reason as to why he wont even consider the spread punt because the pro style is "how he has always done it".  When the stats show that it has pretty much ended returns on punts.  As long as he is here I will support him but I will not lose any sleep if he is gone after the season.

 

I just think his vision of what Michigan football "should look like" is really holding him back, dont think he is open minded enough to do what works in college football right now.  Even the prostyle teams out there run tempo, I think we see that Hoke has made the call that we will be a slow pound it down your thoat offense and will not change that view.

No words can describe this kind of ineptitude.

I don't even know what to say about this...

we are in the death throes of michigan football. 

This is worse than RichRod and we have no future...

Goodnight hoke. You've successfully regressed year after year and we are not on track for a 6-6, 5-7 record if we are lucky. We are a joke. Done with the excuses, done with this staff

what do we have to do to send brady hoke and dave brandon a message.  is there a pettition?  what do we have to do. 

It might be better than watching the rest of this game.

Welppppp

Next... I was still behind Hoke leading up to this game thinking a change in coaching would throw the program into disarray. Don't care any more. He is clearly not up to the job. Play out the season, which I don't expect to end well, and find our next coach. Unfortunately I have absolutely no trust in DBs ability to do that. Pathetic situation.

This sucks balls. 

I don't think I can watch any more of this team. This is simply not enjoyable anymore. It is an embarrassment and sad. I'm not bitching any more...

 

Today was not fun as of 3:30 eastern time

This sucks balls. 

I don't think I can watch any more of this team. This is simply not enjoyable anymore. It is an embarrassment and sad. I'm not bitching any more...

 

The guy is clueless. No player development, weak game plans, lack of execution and effort at times.

I really really wanted hoke to be the guy for us, I really believed he was that guy up until the last two games. I just can't ignore the painfully obvious bad coaching. I mean every team we play is coached better than us. Watching michigan football used to be my favorite thing.

I'm there as well.  I'm tired of them trying to play manball when the team clearly can't do it.  I thought having 2 Devin's at 6-4 on the outside with Shane Morris slinging the ball around was a good idea.  Devin Gardner is a bipolar QB.  He's in a system in which he doesn't fit.  He is either lights out (OSU/Indiana last year) or he's awful (pretty much every other game).  I'm just tired of seeing the offense sputter and suck.  It's not inexperience.  It's poor coaching.  There are freshman and sophomore offensive lineman, and running backs, and quarterbacks, and wideouts on every other team in the country making a difference because they're getting coached up.  Brady needs to understand that this team cannot manball and stop constantly wanting to run the ball on first down.  They get 7 yards passing on first down or 1 yard running.  Which should you do?

 

At least with Lloyd Carr and RichRod we knew the damn ball was going to be moved down the field.

sad day. i like brady as a person, don't doubt his passion or effort, but this is undoubtably the end of his career at michigan. not a good day for the program.

It's time for that arrogant ass-hat Dave Brandon to go, too.

Funny to hear that guy preach to Michigan fans on how to act.

I called him Carr's twin before and damn he sure sounds like it today.

I agree. He's a good guy. But enough is enough.

He should be fired on Monday with Nussmeier being named interim head coach.

What's that you say? It will tank the season? What do you think is going to happen anyways? 

Last TD vs power conference team was vs Kansas State in garbage time.
