Ohio spreading Hoke NFL rumors

Can't imagine he would be any happier in the league..

The man lives and loves UM football.  Have to believe he will stay as long as he is welcome.

Is this why Florida was having Rodriguez level attrition by the time Meyer was leaving? Because all these guys start to realize how much their coach lies to them?

Brady Hoke is assembling an NFL team at the University of Michigan

Yeah.  Hoke isn't leaving unless the AD makes him leave.  This is his last stop on the coaching road.

Welcome to my world.

It's on the Internet so it's obviously true.

Is the one who is going to get temptations in the next couple of years, with some success at osu you can bet that teams with openings probably happening in the near future will be calling him....I can think of USC, Texas, maybe LSU as soon as they get tired of Les screwing something up every year. Also if chip Kelly has success, you can bet some NFL team will talk to urban, I say no more than 5 years and he is a goner.

So just to clarify - there isn't any evidence that Meyer said anything about this, right?

Hoke will easily squash this rumor.

Hoke will take a NFL job in California (looking at you Raiders) and then quit immediately, Brandon will re-hire on the spot and the Hoke will actually walk all the way to Ann Arbor just to said, "I told you we would walk to Michigan."

Urban has long been thought to be a possible NFL departure. (see link below)

Urban has a long history of leaving when the going gets tough--as well as lying about his intentions (ex: telling recuits he would not leave Fla, then leaving, then coming back and telling recruits he would stay, then leaving again).

Urban may feel motivated to leave because he took the Ohio job without knowing the extent of Ohio's NCAA penalties.  Did Ohio falsely reassure him that there would be no bowl ban or schoarship restrictions?

And what if Ohio's NCAA violations resurface?. Many believe that Ohio's  problems did not suddenly vanish overnight with Tressel's departure If half a dozen players were found to be taking illegal money in the last few years, how many others were also?  Does anyone seriously believe that none of Tressel's former players are still on the take?

Clearly, Urban is a much higher flight risk and for many reasons. 

The UM coaching situation--with mutiple career-long commitments--is as stable as it can get.

So apparently someone told him that we have a coach that is good enough to leave for the NFL. But is not, because he loves Michigan. I'll take that.

If Hoke has interviewed for a job or if teams have offered or even talked about offering, ESPN would be all over it. There is no way this loser would be breaking the story first...

but it is scary that a recruit would actually believe this...Ohio must be doing a full court press!  There is probably not one other coach in the major D-1 is LESS of a flight risk than Hoke.  Time to start the Urban to the Hospital or Urban to the NFL meme.

Urban must be shaking in his boots about Peppers coming Herr of he would go to such lengths.. When peppers visits he will see coach Hoke isn't going anywhere, this is his dream job. Urban really is a fucking serpent.

Hoke is more Pure Michigan than those T.V. ads. This is total hokum in my opinion. Brady Hoke is as entrenched as any coach in the Top 25. Would anyone be surprised if Saban or Meyer, or Brian Kelly jumped to another school or the NFL? Nope. Is Hoke gonna walk to New Jersey to coach Mark Sanchez, or to Oakland to coach that tire fire? Don't think so.

Do I answer my own questions when I get angry? Yes.

"Mind on drugs" PSA campaign

Chatsports got it all wrong.  I heard from a good source in Ohio that Hoke's in line to succeed the Pope...

anybody ever think that maybe the kid isn't that into michigan anymore and this is what he is going to use as an excuse? he names ohio state and stanford as his leaders and all of a sudden oh that darn urban meyer must be telling lies? this is almost as annoying as being on one of the buckeyes sites and a kid doesnt pick us everybody saying well the staff cooled on him or he didnt have a commitable offer anyway come on.

No i'm saying he is a junior in high school so he is 16-17 years old with a lot of pressure on him so he could be simply making excuses... At that age you tend to have a tough time telling people what they do not want to hear

Maybe this is wishful thinking but I think Hoke will end his career at Michigan. This is his dream job and he is very passionate about Michigan. Just because there are offers on the table doesn't mean he's going to go. I'm sure they will talk about it and clear it all up.

The story is obviously a lie and I'd be surprised if i wasn't Meyer spreading it.  That being said, somebody has got to get a handle on these twitter idiots who are tweeting these kids. I just took a look at Peppers' timeline (I don't tweet, I just follow people and somebody I follow mentioned him so I wanted to check it out) and it's clear that the kid is having a rough go of it with Michigan fans right now.  I'm not saying that's the reason he wouldn't choose Michigan, but it certainly can't help.

Ironic, considering the ego-monster that is Urban Meyer is FAR more likely to bolt for the NFL (after a 9 day retirement to preserve his health and family life, of course.)
