Hoke Post-game presser
This is the most distant and detached Hoke has been during his tenure in A2, maybe its because hes now fully aware that "he gone".
What the most struck me as especially odd during the press conference was when someone asked him about Delano Hill. Hoke just gave an awkward series of "yes" and "no's" to the questions about Delano. I think the reporter asked if he was injured or hurt a few different ways. Hoke repeatedly responded with "yes" and "now" before giving way to an awkward smile that keeping from saying something that he may have wanted to.
It was just weird. Did anyone else notice that?

No.
Seemed like another clueless presser from Bardy Flintstone.

Why is snark necessary at all? Hoke conducts himself with class. There are plenty of intellectual, well-stated, classy analyses of Hoke's shortcomings here. Leave the snark to other message boards. I'm sure plenty is coming from RCMB right now, for example.
But, please, help keep MGB classy.

Have you not noticed how much damage he has caused to the Michigan Football program over the last 3 years, or are you as clueless as him?!?! I like many other fans pay good money to see a respectable product. I do not have delusions of going 12-0 every year, and that anything else is a disappointment, but to see carefully how inept we have become under his leadership (if you can call it that) is OUTRAGEOUS! If he really loved this program, he wold have stepped down after last year.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
that he is in over his head or many of your other points and you are free to voice them of course - this is the place for that. I was just commenting that we as fans might show a little compassion for this guy who tried his best and came up short. It really doesn't take any effort at all and nothing we say is going to have any effect on this situation.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
You are right about the compassion part, but it should be shown towards the players, not to the $4 million a year HC who has FAILED them and us miserably for the last 3 years. These kids came here and trusted him that he would help them improve their skills and that with hard work and good coaching they may also be part of Michigan lore by at last winning a B1G title and/or go to a Rose Bowl, they did not bargain for this train wreck that he has presided over. Head coaching is a business and he has been compensated like a top 10 coach, but his results for the last 3 years have been nothing like that.

Go fuck yourself, Kraut.

Check the join date and posting history. It's obviously a Sparty troll.
Gratifying that little brother is still seeing Michigan in his sleep even though our program is on the outs.

You've expressed your opinion and derision for Brady Hoke, now members are expressing their opinions about the way you express yours. NBD

I thought the last question was, "Will he be available next week?" To which Hoke replied, "No."
It really sounded as if Hill was suspended for the remainder of the season.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:43 PM ^
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:39 PM ^
The last question, from the background, was "and next week too?" regarding the question about being suspended. To which Hoke said, "No." Implying Hill would be available next week. He then pointed to Angelique for a question.

I negged you for bitching about being negged. People are allowed to disagree with you.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
some of the powerhouses that beat him (or should have):
Akron, Uconn, Northwestern 2013 version, Iowa 2013 version, this year's mediocre Notre Dame, a Utah team that just got throttled by Arizona, Rutgers, and Maryland.
Wow...typing that made me sad.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:42 PM ^
He feels worse than any of us. Way worse. More angry, more sad than we could imagine.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:48 PM ^
Another Brady Flintstone apologist! If he really cared for this program, he would have stepped down after the 3rd year. Even Bill Ford knew he could not rn Ford Motor and brought in a real CEO in Alan Mullaly.

It would be great if you could just shut up for a while.

I want him gone ASAP. But having compassion for him doesn't negate that wish. I even have compassion for you, inspite of what a douchbag you are.

"More angry, more sad than we could imagine." OK, some people are being dicks in this thread, but this is just over the top sentimentality, besides terrible grammar.
Yes, this is his dream job, but he got to coach here for 4 years and make millions and millions of dollars. He is not angrier and sadder than I can imagine, he's not even angrier and sadder than I've been in the last month, nor is he angrier and sadder than I'd guess anyone on this board can imagine. If this is the worst Hoke has ever felt, he's had the luckiest life. I wish it had worked out, but I don't get why I'm supposed to feel bad for the guy.
November 22nd, 2014 at 8:54 PM ^
It's so cool that you can read his mind! What's it like always knowing exactly how someone else's emotion pain rates in comparison with to yours?
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
I stubbed my toe last night, and it hurts. I think my pain is greater than Hoke's. Do you disagree? Or do you need to read our minds first?
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:59 PM ^
November 22nd, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^

It wasn't that bad.

Saw his high school-y antics and had the exact same thought as you

Brady is the most optimistic guy you will meet and I think it is sinking in that it is REALLY over and he had a poor football team.
November 22nd, 2014 at 7:48 PM ^
The Dave and Brady fiasco comes to an end. Tough for the players. Tough for us Wolverines.
The future beckons. Go Blue!
