If Hoke is Retained...

Submitted by nmumike on

I have read several times on the board today that if Hoke is retained they will basically quit watching/going to the games, and that will be the final straw. If he does stay on as head coach, what will you do? Sort of a fill in the blank, If Hoke is still here next year ___________.

For me, if Hoke is still here next year, I will conclude that we really can't have nice things. 

It feels like the longer this drags out, the more likely this scenario plays out, but I really hope that is not the case.

...and for anyone who says "if Hoke stays I'll quit watching." GOOD! LEAVE! GTFO!

What is that phrase, "natural selection?"

I wish we could identify those people and remove them from the fanbase now...because comments like that only come from your idiot fan to begin with.

If you want to pull your donation, fine...that's understandable. You shouldn't have to spend your hard earned money on something you don't agree with. But if you're going to say some shit like I'll stop being a Michigan fan. Then leave now. No one was forcing you to be a fan anyway.

As for the Hoke thing...some of you just need to chill out. He's gone. You don't have to bitch and moan about it every second of every day.

Because you are going to be the same person bitching and moaning about how we've botched the search when we have no coach in 4-5 weeks and other teams have hired "their man."

You can't have what you want. You can't fire Hoke today and hire Jim Harbaugh in 2 weeks. It's not going to happen. So chill. Harbaugh, Harbaugh, Mullen and Miles all have games to coach. They're not a hot assistant coach on the rise, they're not a hot mid-major head coach on the rise. You're talking NFL and SEC. That's different from looking at the offensive coordinator at Oregon, head coach at Wyoming and head coach at a DII school.

What would and does make me mad is that Rich Rod was Was pushed out with a better record. This Michigan Football Team is not watchable. I sit here listen to people telling others To GTFO because they don't support a line of thought and I laugh. I am tired of apologist for a lame coach who may be a nice guy But is over his head. Please respect M fans because we are A large base with different thoughts and ideas and don't need People with a holier than though attitude jumping on someone Who made a statement you don't agree with.

I will watch games, but I wouldn't pay for tickets if I still lived there.  If Hoke stays, it means they will be giving the fans hamburger and charging them for filet mignon.  

That being said, I don't think there is any possible way that Hoke keeps his job.  I would be shocked if there weren't already negotiations going with the agents of the coaches they want.

just this. There is no "way" to take them to experience any outcome. Most "bad trips" (talking mushrooms) come from taking too many or taking bad mushrooms themselves (moldy, poor home grown quality, etc). I've actually taken them to relieve depression, anxiety, etc. Many European countries prescribe psilocybin for such things.

I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling hamburger is a good start.

I'm a lifer.  It's what I do.  I rooted for RichRod until the end.  I rooted for Hoke until the end, and I will root for the next guy until the end.

myself to become blindly loyal to an entity that is content to stay mired in dogshit.

I, along with countless others, won't tolerate it.  Leaders and Best rings very hollow right now.  If this continues, then Louis Elbel ought to be reanimated to write a more fitting fight song.

Everything about Michigan football sucks right now.  Period.

If Hoke is still here next year, I'll whine and complain and yet still watch every game, because it's what I've done on Saturdays for 30 years. I won't be as emotionally invested as in the past, and I'll be frustrated and annoyed the whole time and threaten to not watch anymore, but I'll keep watching because that's what I do. To paraphrase our recruits, I'm a University of Michigan fan, not a University of Hoke fan, and an idiot coach and AD won't change that.

I know tickets will not go up and that has been relayed to ticket holders. If retained, tickets need to be reduced by a significant margin or things will get ugly. I will watch every game...because I will not be attending.

I'll still pull for the team and be a fan.  I'll watch the games.

But I think he's not likely to be retained, and I think letting him go is 100% the right decision.  (Or 99.something% the right decision.)

I'll still watch, but if we don't get a proven OL coach, I'm done.

EDIT:  I don't give a rats ass about points, but the downvotes with no argument or reason for disagreeing is pointless.  If you don't like my reason, tell me why.  Don't be an ass and hide behind a downvote.  Somebody PLEASE tell me why you'd not want to see them address their #1 deficiency in the OL and then still be justified watching this sub-standard product?
