New Hoke Quote. Explains the season

Submitted by itauditbill on

Coach Hoke in the Big 10  teleconference noted the following: "As a coach, you don't want your team peaking early."  (Slightly out of context, but I laughed.)

Except, the entirety of Hoke's quote, didn't refer to the SEASON at all.  What the OP negligently left out was Hoke was referring to WEEKLY practice... meaning he didn't want the kids to peak before the weekend when they need to be at their best.  

But like you said, nothing wrong with the quote.  

The OP is a rabble rousing douche.

Brady. Please just shut up and quietly walk away next Monday. People won't dislike you forever.

In fact, if we can become elite again...people will actually cheer you when you return.

Wait, NOT TO COACH! Whew...don't want to get you excited. I just meant when you return to Ann Arbor. Maybe to honor Denard Robinson in 15 years or something.

Not even slightly out of context... but COMPLETELY out of context.  Go back and read the entirety of what Hoke said.  Listen, there are enough problems with this staff that you don't need to go around making stuff up.  Congrats -- TMZ would be proud of you.

Brady Hoke and his coaching career at Michigan, "peaking" too early (or at all, really) isn't something that has occupied much of my thoughts.

However, if given a couple more seasons I have wondered where he would "bottom out." I'm guessing 4-8.
