Ohio spreading Hoke NFL rumors
but it's easy to speculate—Marshall was a bit of a surprise commit to OSU, and if we're now hearing that OSU might be the source of the Hoke-to-NFL baloney, nothing would surprise me.
This doesn't help Meyer at all IMHO, if it's true that his staff is the source. All he's doing is putting an extra-large bullseye on his back for the other conference coaches.
I just wonder if this compulsive lying ever comes back to bite him in other ways. Didn't he have a lot of players transferring out towards the end of his time at Florida?
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
that it's bitten his ass in his personal life. But that's neither here nor there, and if this were any other thread I wouldn't mention it.
What do you mean? He would never lie to his family. He would never tell his kids that he's done with coaching when in reality he was about to take a job with the most toothless university on the planet.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
But I wouldn't call OSU toothless. Spineless, sure. Gutless? Yep. Shameless, for sure. Not sure about toothless though.

Hoke will spend 5 years at Michigan, win a couple NCs (yes, that means 2 out of the next 3), and go to the NFL. Jim Harbaugh, who is bored after 2 straight Super Bowl championships, returns to Michigan.
5 years later, both win it all two more times at their new jobs, get bored and swap jobs.
Hit repeat a few times, until Mike Hart/Tyrone Wheatly/Kovacs/Denard/etc. is ready to assume the head coach job at Michigan.

Just glad this BS didn't come out a few weeks ago...
I knew it!! It's because he can't close on big time recruits.
I saw this in the ESPN Rumors section on their website but didn't believe it...Now that I see the facts, I believe it less.
This is ridiculous, but the coaching staff shouldn't have too much trouble explaining things to Peppers or anyone else. Hopefully this will blow up in the face of the person(s) who spread the rumor.
Also, why does this seem to be coming from OSU? Any reason other than general dislike of them?

His own research it would of come up, Hoke wants to Michigan from California for dream job! Without knowing his salary, before accepting job! This is some whacked as bs!!
Peppers should watch this video of Hoke talking about Michigan:
Scratch that. Apparently the updated link includes some info about the sources of the rumors. Instead of my sarcastic jab at the OP, here's a GIF of a baby pygmy goat playing:

Peppers isn't the only recruit who was told this lie.
"More than one recruit has mentioned to Hoke that OSU coaches are the source of the rumor and Brady has emphatically told the players that he will be at Michigan for as long as they will have him, hopefully for 20+ years. The guy is living his dream job and is as genuine as they come.”
"He played the trombone. Did you know he played the trombone? That's a tough one to picture." --Kovacs, on Denard "Shoelace" Robinson
Who is the reporter?

I copied and pasted that quote into google.
It is from chatsports.

And they also say this in the same report:
A few months back, we were told off the record that Michigan coaches had been telling recruits that they would be in Ann Arbor for years after Meyer in Columbus and to only expect the 2X National Championship winning coach to only be the head man at OSU for 3 more seasons until he gets bored.
This all sounds like a bunch of crap.

Is that you again? Are you back from the London tabloid trying to spread rumors again?
to double-point. Hoke ain't going anywhere he can't double-point.
I'm ready to bring back Rich Rod anyway.
Too soon?

"Yep"
After Friday all the B1G coaches will have Urban's full tutorial on how to improve B1G recruiting by emulating OSU.
Wait until you see #3: Tell recruits that Hoke requires players to attend class regularly.

Hoke going to the NFL is laughable. He is a college coach if I've ever seen one. I think he loves being in that teacher role, something he'd lose in going to the NFL.
I find this hard to believe that OSU coaches are spreading these rumors. For whatever reason, I can't see Meyer stooping this low. But hey, I've been wrong before.
Besides, why would OSU fans want Hoke gone? Wouldn't they want him to stick around so their "SEC defense" can dominate us thoroughly for a thousand generations as they're supposedly believing?
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
I'm not at all ready to pin this on him. Peppers may not have even said that. However, the Florida coaching staff (when Meyer was still there) pretty obviously lied to Daryl Stonum to try to get him to be a Gator. So I'm not sure how low Meyer would go.

you don't think a man who cheated on his wife with a 20 year old would stoop that low to lie to recruits? OK.

Um, unless you caught him first hand with the coed, I'd stay away from saying rumor as fact. Makes you look like a low life asshole.
i think this whole post is about rumors,asshole.
Vice.com
Or it makes you look like the asshole that is telling recruits that Hoke is going to the NFL.
M'Dog
I believe Hoke said " coaches don't leave Michigan to go to the NFL, coaches leave the NFL to go to Michigan."
...I have to say this post made me laugh. Pretty sure if Peppers is buying this BS, he may not be Michigan material.
In other breaking news...Beilein not getting basketball recruits because of multiple NBA head coaching job offers.
For Hoke to say Urban is a broken man and he will likely just quit one day to the top recruits but Coach Hoke would never do that. But Urban would manufacture lies just to get a recruiting edge. Hopefully, the recruits will see past this BS!
expect the best
Urban is such a great person.
While this is a wonderful pictures, this is at least the second time you've posted it in the last hour...




Did I miss something? Was that actually reported (about Lawrence Marshall)?
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
