1. I can not take credit for that term. Awesome term as it is, I can not take credit. Heard it on the local radi show.

2. I never really got to comment on the Oregon Ducks hiring Brady Hoke as the defensive coordinator. Sorta got lost in the San Francisco 49ers hiring Chip Kelly.

What is the thought behind this hire? I compare this to Barry Bonds. Why Barry Bonds? Because Barry Bonds was the all time leading Home Run hitter, and this is exactly what this hire is. Home Run.

Dude inherited an absolutely terrible defense in Michigan in his first year. Turned the defense into at least top 20 in the country and took the Wolverines to a BCS game.

He has had many years of success as head coach, so that experience is huge. He is also one of the better recruiters you can get. That is dangerous for everyone else because Oregon already is a solid recruiting program.

He is capable of turning this team defense into a top 20 defense in the country. A top 20 defense with this offense?

This is going to be fun!


SKOOOO DUCKS!!!!

Head coach in waiting.

Hiring a quality D1 coach as an assistant coach? Watch out.

 

[tducey]

Good for him, seems like a decent hire.

Wait a minute...when was Brady Hoke a quality HC?

[B_dub]

Barry Bonds??? Get ready for some sanctions.

Yeah no shit watch out. Hoke will shutdown every all-you-can-eat-restaurant within 200 miles of Eugene.

Huzzah. Now his boring ass won't make me contemplate turning it over to finebaum on my drive home.

decent hire??????????

What?

This is enormous! Huge hire. Great hire by Oregon. I applaud the Ducks for looking outside their own staff and hiring a big name.

Should the 2016 CFB season just be cancelled & the title trophy sent to Phil Knight?

I don't know. Does Ohio State even have enough players right now to field a team for the 2016 season?

You should look @ the updated 2016 recruiting rankings. And there's depth in Columbus for next year.

Clearly this is a make up call since they swung and missed on Justin Wilcox!

Keepin up with that whole Barry Bonds thing

 

[OregonDucks]

Justin Wilcox? No thank you.

Unless I woke up tomorrow and heard we hired Kirby Smart, I couldn't be more pleased.

I would rather start 22 true freshmen next season than have Brady Hoke on the sidelines. He is fucking retarded.

Been around for a while:




My thoughts -- Hoke has never been a defensive coordinator. At Michigan, when he was here, it was pretty well understood that Hoke hired two, what he thought, great coordinators to run things. Mattison (defense) and Borges (offense). Borges in year 1 essentially ran Denard, which is why we won 11 games. The flaws were super apparent on offense after that. It got worse and worse and worse.

Defensively some of the stats got padded because teams would score so many points, start running the ball to run the clock out and they would simply just run out the game to win it. Defensively, Michigan lost in pretty much every major big game we played in. Teams like Michigan State, Ohio State and Notre Dame put up a lot of yards on the defense.

There's no evidence to suggest Hoke will do bad or poorly as a defensive coordinator but make no mistake, this is his first shot at it and he's had a pretty up and down history as head coach and while at Michigan had a pretty solid recruiter/coordinator in Greg Mattison (who was the only guy kept on staff and one of two guys from Hoke's staff that have been hired at power-5 programs since). I could see him doing OK, and I can also seem him failing miserably. The good thing he has going for him is that his defenses struggled terribly against the spread and the major power programs in the Pac 12 are more pro style teams.

Lastly, I wonder if he will wear a headset finally?

 

[4down20]

I could see Oregon finishing as high as receiving 32 votes this coming year.

 

[Mistaken4193]

He aint gonna do shit. Its obvious he is more worried about the In-Home recruiting visits with nice home cooked meals than he is about defense.
