25 weeks 4 hours ago I for one

I for one am glad of this latest development.  Kudos to you good sir for finding this treasure.

25 weeks 4 days ago Ref your 85 points stat

Last three years O$U didn't care we were wounded or re-building, they called it a victory all the same.  To hell with that idea.  They have some of the best recruits money can buy and we still beat them.  We have the same team as last year and this year we outcoached them and outmanned them.  They are sore losers (see the classless bucknuts thread on the 'Board) let's not lend them any credit they don't deserve.

FOOOOOTTBAWWWWWW!!

1 year 19 weeks ago From Wikepedia

Why aren't people more open about his coaching past.  He has lineage to the Harbaugh family AND coached under Carr:

At Western Michigan, Hoke coached under head coach Jack Harbaugh. Also on the coaching staff were current Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and current Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison. Mattison would later serve at Michigan in the mid 1990s as defensive line coach and defensive coordinator, and in 1995 was instrumental in hiring Hoke. When he left Michigan, Hoke was replaced as defensive line coach by Bill Sheridan.

I've always liked the Hokester and I think it is a great hire.  Besides, it only takes the first three games (wins) for him to get to .500 - then no one can complain he is a sub-500 coach.

1 year 19 weeks ago Everyone needs to relax...

Good gosh, how quickly the tide turns on this board. So what. So we missed out on a coach that may or may not have even been offered a job. So we missed out on a guy with questionable clock management skills and that sorely lacks scruples in player relations. We don't know anything that is going on with this search.

For all of you RR lovers, I'm surprised you're not taking his advice and "getting a life." There is more to U of M than Brandon flying around the country trying to gauge interests and ask people for their insights. There is also more to this world than to call for an AD's job after a coaching search that, by all indications, he is taking his time with. OMG, we miss out on a 4 star recruit from BFE - BIG DEAL. I am sure there is more to the story than we all can speculate. Brandon knows what he is doing, relax.

As for the search, let's see what we have learned:

1) Harbaugh dreamed of going to the NFL, and earned his right to choose to pursue his dream

2) Les Miles was considered by all to have a spot at the table if Harbaugh pursued his dreams, but, if you paid any attention to Les you heard him promise his players and school that he would be back next season - looking back, that wasn't coach speak. Maybe he does honor his word.

3) Brady Hoke has professed his undying love for U of M and that he would take this job in a moment's notice. Don't we want someone who WANTS to be here, who can put together an amazing staff of coordinators, and win us 9-13 games per year? Sounds pretty good to me. Lloyd lite all you want, but, I won't complain. My hat has always been in the Hoke basket.

IMO, we all just need to let the rest of the process unfold. Who knows. Maybe Brandon left last night because he knew that Les was committed to LSU, so, he just pinged him about Hoke and other topics. The 4pm meeting was also called before Les and Brandon met. Maybe Brandon already knew something? Let's just enjoy being M fans/almuni.

Now, do as I do and:

1 year 19 weeks ago Way to Go Buzz Killington
1 year 19 weeks ago I'll second that

I heard from someone high up in the food chain that Les to M is done and tomorrow is a formality.  Take it what it's worth, but, worth seconding this post.

 

RABACK IT!!

1 year 19 weeks ago Since Posting New Forums

Since posting new forums is still fickle, consider this thread hijacked with some fresh news:

 

The Denver Broncos, who reportedly were trying to interview Harbaugh earlier this week, have moved on. John Elway, the Broncos' new football czar, said on his weekly radio show on 87.7 The Ticket in Denver on Friday that he believes Harbaugh wants to stay at Stanford rather than turn pro. Elway also said he believes Harbaugh's alma mater, Michigan, might also be back in the picture.

 

Per Espn.com

Rodriguez's record in those seven years at U-M and WVU is 43-43. In 10 years at two major-conference schools, Rodriguez has won seven games against teams that finished the year ranked in the top 25 -- and only one against a team that finished in the top 10. (Those numbers jump to eight and two if you give Rodriguez credit for West Virginia's victory in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl after he left for Michigan.)

1 year 19 weeks ago If You're going to do this then why

If you're going to this argument, then how can anyone be so high on Rich Rod?  He is a 43-43 career coach that, save three seasons AFTER MIAMI (YTM), BC, AND VTech left the BigEast, didn't and does not have much of a track record of success.

Bottom line is that you cannot look at a candidate and say well, inferior competition, rabble rabble rabble...

If Hoke is the higher, I think it would be good for the University.  If Miles is the hire, I think it would be good for the University.  If Coker is the hire, I think it would be good for the University.  You following me?
