Press Conference Open Thread
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
I'm not too worried about him saying "uh" so many times. He's descended from a long line of airline pilots.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
.... good? Like, just a good, natural fit here?
I like him.
He better win.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
Are you planning on staying here forever.
"YES"
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
"Yes. Yes. No doubt."
AH SHIT I LOVE THIS GUY
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
I like how he addresses the reporters by name. That's just good people skills.
Also he just said he wants to be here forever.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
Love that immediate "YES" when he was asked if he wanted this to be his home for the rest of his career, This guy is winning me over right now.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
Are you planning on staying here forever.
"YES"
He should have just ended it there. Next question.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
Yes! no hesitation or anything. I love it so far, he has answered everything correctly. This is going very well IMO
January 12th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
LOVE THIS GUY!!!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:27 PM ^
"to do something with a group of guys you love doing"
This guy is a master of the unwitting double entendre.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
That keeps on giving.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:27 PM ^
For some reason every time he says hi to whoever just asked him a question really makes me happy. This guy is as likable as Rich is and that's saying something.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
Okay I get the passion. But my question is this... don't we all have a ton of passion. Does that qualify us to be coach. Brian has a ton of passion. So let's make him coach...
Passion plus lack of coaching equals... fans... We know Hoke is a fan of Michigan. No new info here.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
Can we officially say that this is the anti-Tressel?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
"Im not the kind of guy that goes out there and makes predictions about anything"
no need to talk up anything. make it happen, mr. hoke.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
Mr Toledo just got his ass ripped - "this is Michigan for God's sakes!" that was awesome!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
Should have responded, "Those guys," while pointing at the Freep contigent.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
"This is MICHIGAN for GOD'S SAKE!"
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
Okay I'll admit. I love this guy.
IMO, he is doing an outstanding job at this presser.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
"WHO SAID THAT??? (pause) THIS IS AN ELITE JOB!!!!"
guy's hilarious... "God bless'em"
January 12th, 2011 at 1:54 PM ^
i was waiting for him to say....WHO SAID THAT? TO HELL WITH THEM!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
Hoke's unconditional, irrational love for Michigan is awesome!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
"This is Michigan, for god sakes"
I love this guy!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
He doesn't sound that different than Rich to me. Even his "choke up" and answers on the rivarlies are really the same.
We'll see ...
January 12th, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
"This is Michigan, for god sakes"
I love this guy!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:33 PM ^
to the Michigan not being an elite head coaching gig question...
January 12th, 2011 at 1:33 PM ^
...Bo lives!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:33 PM ^
Who say's that? No, I'm being serious...This is Michigan!
LOVE IT!!!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:34 PM ^
"Shame on them, especially if they're from here"
Isn't Sharp a UM grad?
I think I like this guy....
January 12th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
I'm glad he referenced and thanked Rich Rod for his time and recognized his and his staff's effort
January 12th, 2011 at 1:36 PM ^
But some awesome answers. I like what I'm hearing so far.
<br>
<br>MGoBlog is blowing up right now...
<br>
<br>Most important game on the schedule. Love the passion!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:54 PM ^
will be aggressive.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
It looked like Hoke just scolded him and Sharp folded like a 3 year old caught pissing the living room.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:41 PM ^
A huge douche. What an idiot.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:42 PM ^
I'm good in Scrabble!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:42 PM ^
Wow Drew Sharp is such a dick.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:42 PM ^
Hoke just shit on Drew Sharp. Love it.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:43 PM ^
I didn't think it was possible, but drew sharp just made a bigger ass out of himself.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
Drew Sharp can suck it, what a peice of shit.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:43 PM ^
notice the guy that asked a question after you was from that regional newspaper The New York Times?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:45 PM ^
Did you notice that the NYT guy was Jim Carty? I did a double-take. Apparently he's doing freelance work for them.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:43 PM ^
Who's the only person who couldn't leave a great answer alone because it didn't provid any daming information? None other than Drew Sharp...
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
Hoke just owned the crap out of D-D-D-D-Drew Sh-Sharp.
Methinks Mr. Sharp is nervous in front of this man. I like.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
And what was Hoke's response?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
to win B1G championships. Sharp suggested that was wrong and NC's should be the goal. Hoke told him "No" several times.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
3-3-5? Oh boy. People are not going to be happy about that.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:45 PM ^
i like that he stressed that they have to learn and know the defense.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
The problem is that we didn't run it these past few years. Especially this last year, we ran a hybrid defense that ended up being next to nothing.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:45 PM ^
Response OSU: This is the most important game on the schedule!!!
I love you, Hoke--no homo!
