Thank you Hoke, Mattison and Borges

Submitted by maize and brew… on
I just wanted say thank you to Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison for turn this football program around. Its really an accomplishment to pull 10 wins out during your first year as head coach. On the defensive side, we where ranked last out of every D1 school. To turn around a defense around so fast is amazing especially when it isn't your players you recruited. I am looking forward to seeing the new recruits that you recruited to come in and make this team national threat. So from my family to both of you, thank you for getting it. GO BLUE! Also I would like to thank Al Borges for the play calling and the success he had with DRob. I think some people seconded guessed some play calls but realized that you are trying to make the best out of what we have on offense. Its pretty amazing that you can still win games without your offensive style. We all know you had to make adjustments to the play calling and you did a great job, thank you!

This doesn't deserve its own thread, but how cool is it that Mattison went up to his leaders on the DL and told them to call their own pressures and stunts for that last drive? He had full faith in them, and it showed in how they played.

We are 10-2 and headed to a BCS bowl.  Both losses came on the road in games where we had a chance to tie the game inside the opponent's ten in the fourth quarter.

Short of winning a national title, there isn't a ton of room for improvement.
