Questions for Hoke
So it now looks like I will be able to attend the NY Alumni Club's "Meet the Coaches" event with Hoke and DB tomorrow evening. If there is anything interesting said, I will do a write-up tomorrow night.
But, from what I understand, attendees have time to talk with Hoke and even ask questions. Any suggestions? Here's what I have:
1. Brady, did you really drink all of the been in Munsey?
2. WHo will start game 1 - Denard or Tate?
3. Do you get the OSU rivalry? If yes, prove it.
Serious and joke question suggestions are welcome . . .
"Can I get a picture of you pointing at me?"
and have a friend ask, "Where is the first tee?"
1. How will we protect Shane Morris' backside in 2016?
and say "Why would you ask a dumb question like that?" :-)
Latex?
Just walk right up to him and tell him that we want moar scramblez this year.
Do you know how to run the play "QB Oh Noes!"
What's your opinion on Vince Lombardi being able to help the D?
"Is it true what they say? You know, about the gold poop?"
Ask him how many MGoPoints he's racked up since January.
I've always had a feeling that DB or Hoke would make a MGoAccount just to screw with people. I know I would.
I'd do it if I were a player; that would probably be some fun.
When I mentioned MGoBlog to him at the DC event, he said, "You know only half of what they say is true." So, he must at least look at it.
I don't know about Brandon, but there's no way Hoke would have the kind of time to post on an internet message board. College coaches' schedules are insane.
By no means would I expect them to be a frequent poster or anything.
I think it's much more likely that Hoke has never heard of this site, much less visited it. I'm not sure the average fan realizes how busy these guys are, even during the offseason. If he has a free moment in between the bajillion daily phone calls and letters to recruits he has to make, and the endless viewings of tape (of his team, of opposing teams for 2011, and of high school players that he might potentially offer), he's not going to be spending it searching for Michigan football fanpages to comment on.
College coaches are basically hermits for a large portion of the year. Joe Paterno announced a year or two ago that he'd just watched M*A*S*H for the first time in his life.
I can't imagine any coach being masochistic enough to read a fan forum. If any of us had to read these kinds of comments and "suggestions" about how we do our jobs, even from a high-quality community like this one, the word "micromanagement" or a variation like "micromanaging mofo" would come up often.
I would hope he isn't here and ignores all of us.
Lots worse said on message boards about my programs than makes it to mgoblog

1) Is versatility a main goal is his defense recruiting?

<br>2) Why didn't he "point" out to DB & Adidas that the throwback jerseys should have resembled SixZero's 2011 Spring Game photo?
Why didn't you really walk to Ann Arbor?
Don't you think you could lose a few pounds?
Why did you chase Devin Lucien away....other than that....no worries!
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
ez

3 wonderlics 2 tha center

I think he should have to comment on those issues most pertinent to the blog:
is he a member of the four star mafia?
Coach Hoke; how many young men would you say you've "touched" in your career as a coach and using this doll can you show me where you've "touched" them?
Will there be dreads on the team in five years?
SRSLY
What is your role in playcalling? How will you ensure that Tatgate 2.0 doesn't happen here? What can an Fan do to support the team outside of financial assistance? Can I try out for kicker?
influential book on football for him? What player on the San Diego State roster could surprise in Ann Arbor? His 3 top looks when evaluating a DL recruit on film? Best up and coming coach who is not at Michigan? What teams he would like to schedule? What is he doing differently than other coaches in the B1G to sign such a large class in June? Does he go for it on 4th down more now than when he was a younger coach? Are there any former players that he would like to see come back to coach at Michigan? Has the recent research on concussions changed his protocol for evaluating and holding players back?
who?
well, we actually may be interested because back then hoes didn't want him, but now that he's hot, hoes are all on him.
but we'll never catch Mr. Jones.
Is Ohio an actual state? Your thoughts on using those two words in the same sentence?
Ask if he is planning on wearing a block M baseball cap at the games as the coaches before him
Thank you, akim! Someone had to say it.
His percentage change of getting the Michigan job is..
"R" isn't anywhere near the "B" on the keyboard...
How do you poop so much golden stuff? You don't even have a golden toilet bowl!
Would you cry on NSD when you already have 26 verbal commits (full class) and then Dorial Green-Beckham, M. Edwards , D. Humphries , E. Goldman , D. Hamilton, E. McCarthy , John Theus , Stefon Diggs , N. Agholor all fax in their LOIs?
1) Is Josh Groban currently on your Ipod?
2) Will there be a pre-game "Ring of Terror"?
3) Have you decided on helmet stickers?
Ask him if he has seen Super 8 and his thoughts on how they portray Ohio and Michigan in the movie.
A few people asked questions about personnel, espically Darryl Stonum. Hoke and Brandon didn't even address the questions. Hoke looked like he wanted to make the guy who asked run wind sprints with Will Campbell on his back. Best to stay away from issues like that.
Best question of the night came from a six year old wearing a way too big helmet:
Kid: Brady, are we going to have a kicker next season
(Crowd erupts in laughter)
Brady: you bet!
