Coach Hoke Releases Statement on Frank Clark Arrest
S/O to Maizenbrew for the report. Hoke has not yet spoken with Clark and will do so "at the appropriate time", presumably when he's out of jail. Assuming that this is it for his time in the program. Link below.

Wait a minute. Where's the apology to Dantonio?
ETA: I posted that before I read the statement. Fortunately I don't have to revise it... In all seriousness, I hope the allegations prove false, for everyone's sake. But if FC committed another crime...ugh, see ya.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
I'm sure he is "Aware of the arrest, but not fully aware".
November 16th, 2014 at 7:00 PM ^
Clearly he's not fully aware.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
"We are aware of the report involving Frank Clark," Hoke said
Glad to see we're learning from our mistakes
November 16th, 2014 at 7:07 PM ^
God, I love this place.
It's like you guys are in my head and are posting what I feel like commenting as I click the thread.
This must be the internet version of completing each other's sentences.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
Why is this getting down-voted so much? There are many times I read a thread and never end up posting because someone else has already expressed the same thing I want to say. Unless people are still in FU WD mode, which, whatever.
November 16th, 2014 at 8:03 PM ^
That it comes across as artificial and annoying.
November 16th, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
Or because 1500 people on twitter have already said the same stupid unoriginal "aware" joke

Huh? WD's not the one who said it. And the guy who did say it got upvoted a lot.
November 17th, 2014 at 12:14 AM ^
Groupthink is a powerful thing....
November 17th, 2014 at 2:26 AM ^
Also, it's funny how people turn on a dime on jokes. For a long time, any joke about being fully aware or having a good practice was upvoted like crazy, and then all of a sudden everyone starts downvoting them and talking about how stale and unoriginal they are. Obviously jokes do get old, but it's pretty amazing how it seems that the change is almost instantaneous.
I should try to really experiment with it, but I swear people are more likely to upvote something with upvotes already and likewise for downvoting
November 16th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
I think you're just jealous of WD's power to get ADs fired.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:59 PM ^
Or everyone trying to be clever with the same old tired lines?
November 16th, 2014 at 11:40 PM ^
I guess that helps explain why this thread sucks.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:48 PM ^
Did he specify the degree to which he is aware?
November 16th, 2014 at 7:03 PM ^
Michigan coach Brady Hoke has not spoken with Frank Clark but plans on doing it at the appropriate time.
The same thing can also be said for Clark's future with the program.
Literally what the hell does that even mean?
November 16th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
That makes more sense than "my job and my personality is to the best of my ability".
I bet you can guess who said that.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
He will answer questions about the future of frank Clark with this program when he gets all the details, it's not that hard to understand.

I get what they were saying, but their phrasing was seriously bad.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
I asked the same question. Is the right time after Hoke talks to Clark and Clark denies the allegation, when (and if ) a bill of indictment comes down, after a plea or a trial?
November 16th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
Csont'e York was suspended while being investigated, and dismissed from the team about a week after charges were filed.
Darryl Stonum was suspended from the team for a year and dismissed from the team about a week after he violated probabation.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:04 PM ^
Awareness - it's important.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:08 PM ^
Will probably wait until he has spoken with Frank before booting him from the team. It's important to follow The Process, after all.
/s
November 16th, 2014 at 7:10 PM ^
Is the sarcasm having to do with Hoke not booting him now, discussion of the "Process", or something else? Because I'd kinda hope the head coach would talk to a player and find out what actually happened before he kicked him off the team. But again, I'm a slave to due process.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:16 PM ^
I share your concern. I don't want to consider Clark to be guilty until he either admits to a crime or is convicted of a crime. That's just not right.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:23 PM ^
I completely agree, and remember that we don't even know what Clark is alleged to have done yet, let alone whether he'll be convicted of it/plea to it. I think even more caution than usual is the right path, compared to cases where there are witness accounts/photos/video that come out before the case ever sees the inside of a courtroom.
November 16th, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
I mean, if Clark is in jail over a weekend without bond, there's very little chance Hoke can get in touch with him over the phone, much less hoof it down to Ohio to visit him (if that's even allowed). Heck, since it's a bye weekend, isn't Hoke out recruiting? This is a completely reasonable response, though given its brevity, I'm not sure why it couldn't have been released at approximately noon instead of 8PM.
We'll know more tomorrow, and as of right now, we probably know just as much as Hoke does given the nature and timing of the case.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
Of course I want Hoke to make sure he has Frank's side of the story. The remark was an allusion to DB always following The Process, even when it's outcome is a forgone conclusion.
November 16th, 2014 at 8:20 PM ^
That many (most) see Brady Hoke as Fired Man Walking and thus anything and everything he says or does is open to the most deragotory interpretations, so he must be mocked, mocked, mocked. This isn't to imply all of those that believe Hoke is just biding time until he's fired are mocking him, merely that a few vile haterz have rubbed a couple of neurons together to form snark and mock.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
Reasonable response. I'm sure we'll hear more.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
Hoke is aware but not fully aware
November 16th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
Once Hoke becomes fully aware of the situation he will dismiss Clark from the team.
Unless Hoke is dismissed first.

am I the only one that intially read Coach Hoke Released....
November 16th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
Oh no way. I'm sure he'll get an extension and coach us into further irrelevance at the approval of the 99 team.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:28 PM ^
You are not the only one. I almost flipped.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
Why was this not released at 1:00 AM???

November 16th, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
Coach Ginn will find a way to hold this against us like he did when Carr disciplined Pierre Woods

Insert typical "Hoke is aware but not fully aware" quote here.

If so, why hasn't someone bailed him out?
November 16th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
I don't think you can bail him out until Monday. I've had some friends arrested on weekends and I'm pretty sure they have to sit until business hours resume, normally Monday 9am but if Mon is a holiday (like my buddy who got arrested Memorial Day weekend one time) the accused sits until Tues at 9am.

Just read bond to be set .thanks.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
Bail to be set Monday morning according to a post from the other thread.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:55 PM ^
This article and a few others confirm that Clark is being held without bond at the moment and that the hearing to determine it will be tomorrow morning at 9 AM. I assume we'll probably know much more by lunchtime tomorrow as it seems this is all we're going to hear for the the remainder of the evening.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:44 PM ^
How many times are you people going to recycle the same shitty jokes?
November 16th, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
Probably a lot. Baloo, meet the internet.

You need 1.5+ years on here to truly get it, but good stuff.
