So is Mattison > Hoke now?
Don't get me wrong, I am pretty darn happy abut this hire right now. I dont think I have ever seen this board this excited before. If you were all chicks at a bar I'm pretty sure I could score with each and every one of you tonight.
I'm wondering if people find this to be a better hire then Hoke was. You could make the case that he has a better resume then Hoke for the HC job.(I'm not saying he does, but it can be argued) And if he is more qualified, how the hell did Hulk Hoke pull this off?
January 18th, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
Wrong equation.
It's Mattison + Hoke.
That equals Defense.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:29 PM ^
Mattison and Hoke together! This will certainly have a HUGE impact on our D!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Lock your doors. CLONES!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
That or the cast from The Sopranos.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:09 PM ^
Is it a coincidence that Hunter S. Thompson has the same hairdo? I think not.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
The secret is out. I am the team tutor....
January 18th, 2011 at 10:53 PM ^
Does that set some sort of record?
<br>
<br>Oops, guess this is 4 now...
January 18th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
all your awesome bald coordinator clones are belong to us
January 18th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
Cause they rapin everybody...?
had to be done
January 18th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
I'm suprised they don't coach at tOSU...they seem to know thier way around a horseshoe.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
What the hell is the word thier in your sentence?
Edit: im drunk
January 18th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
It's called a typo. You would think someone with such fine spelling skills would know what a typo was.
It makes me sad the state of our educational system.
Edit: I'm an asshole
January 18th, 2011 at 10:50 PM ^
I love u
January 18th, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
and I you sir...and I you
January 18th, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
ENOUGH with this shit! Let guys post and have their typos! It gives the place that old campy feel rather than the phony, gratuitous "We're all Michigan grads" bullshit. This pecking at guys for spelling, punctuation and ellipses is beginning to have the tone that you guys think the posters are doing it purposely. Go work for the fucking Webster Dictionary people if your writing is so goddam perfect!
The sheer genius of the horseshoe comment going unnoticed so some lame ass can point out a minor miscue is APPALLING.
Have we lost our senses of humor? Did Rodriguez strip every last shred of humanity from us all? (Not me, I hated the bastard).
January 18th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
Edit: ENOUGH shouldn't be all caps.
Edit: lost our senses of humor should be lost our sense of humor.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:55 PM ^
I think the plural "our" should be accompanied by the plural "senses"
I think the real mistake was made earlier: has EVERYONE lost HIS sense of humor? Is the correct way of (politely) asking a guy to shut the fuck up.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
If you are going to use the Queen's English, shouldn't humor then be humour?
January 18th, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
And I'm going to tell you why: Because "humour" was actually a reference to the "mood" people were in as determined by what people believed their blood to be dominated by--the bile. It goes back to Shakespeare's time and earlier, I guess.
What we call "humor" the English call nonsense. Theirs is ruled by irony.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson, because i made it all up.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
You are ornery!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
I'd neg every chicken shit 100 million points every time they pull the old, "I'm drunk" thing our of THIER asses if I could.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:50 PM ^
You seem pretty edgy. Have a drink cause I'm drunk and you need to be too.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
Edgy as hell, and I'm not going to pretend I'm drunk to garner some sympathy. If I WAS drunk, I'd be out trying to score some poon as opposed to sitting on a message board.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
You're welcome.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:05 AM ^
Edgy? Saying that you're edgy is so not Hard Edge.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
No not visers, hats!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
Can bald guys coach dreads, or will they just get jelous and make everyone shave their heads.
Perhaps GERG can donate a few strands?
January 18th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
And I vote we give these guys some MGoPoints for eschewing the combover.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
some recruiting magic as well.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
"If you were all chicks at a bar I'm pretty sure I could score with each and every one of you tonight"
Pics or GTFO.
Time will tell if Hoke was a good hire or not. Mattison is an excellent hire. Proven record at multiple colleges and in the NFL.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Mattison. If I were a chick, in a bar, hammered drunk and blind, I would do him tonite for sure.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
I think some guys are just Coordinator material, not Head Coach material. That is Mattison, just a damn good Coordinator and always will be.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
I think it improves our opinions of Hoke(not that they were bad) and I think it is showing us how good of a leader Hoke can be.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
It also shows that Michigan is willing to pay for a top assistant, thankfully.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Or it just means that Mattison was willing to come on a discount because
A. He has a daughter and future grandchild in Ann Arbor
and/or
B. He has made his money and wanted to coach with a close friend
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
I dont think we could have gotten Mattison w/out Hoke.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Mattison would not have come here to be on RR's staff.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Successful Baltimore Ravens' DC a better hire than the 47-50 coach of the SDSU Aztecs?
January 18th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Hilarious, but that "47-50 coach" just hired that successful NFL DC to work for him.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
Balitmore had its worst defense since 2002 this season. Ranked #10 in the League in 2010.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:51 PM ^
Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are a combined 439 years old by now.
Sheesh.
Mr Stats strikes again!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
Woah! Number 10! That sure looks awful in comparison with our situation right now.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
I love sarcasm.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
I think everyones pumped because heres a guy who has great defense's everywhere he goes.
