Has Michigan ever Fired a Coach in September???

[H2S]

$1,000,000 payday for Utah.
The bonus was nice too.

It's Hoke's 4th year and your team looks lost.
How long you guys going to put up with that..


Do you guys play Indiana this year???

We've put up with it for 16 years

Yes, yes they do.

So how does it feel to have the team that beat OSU at home just lose their next two, including to ECU. I wouldn't be throwing stones if I were you.


But as to Hoke, I really did think they would turn the corner this season, there was evidence to support that at the time. But four games in, they've only looked gone in one. So unless somehow he miraculously wins the Big Ten, a change needs to be made.

Looking good against App State? Yeah they should look good against arguably the worst FBS team in the country. Then again they looked like shit against Miami (Oh) who might be the 2nd worst team in the FBS.

I can't believe that firing Hoke during the season is the smart thing to do. Really, how often does replacing the coach mid-season help anything? Outside of winning the conferernce though nothing should save his job. the team is far too talented to look so poor week in and week out.

See USC last year

Positive spin, this means notre dame probably sucks

So how often is once?

I'm saying it just happened with a school who has a similar talent pool, and similar prestige. Why wait until January to start your job search for your the next (insert name of whoever or whatever company Michigan is going to whore themselves out to) Michigan head coach? It hasn't worked very well the last two times that happened in Ann Arbor.

I'm just glad ND got the ball rolling for Hoke's fat ass to get canned. ND is too chicken to play Michigan?

What evidence to support what?

What game are you referring to?

Ummm ... huh? Splain yourself ...

Hoke, unbelieveably, is the 8th highest paid coach at the beginning of the 2013 season averaging an annual fleecing fee at Michigan of 3.25 million per year... that's right, fleecing! It's a travesty he's making more than Pelini.


USA Today: Michigan's Brady Hoke now the eighth-highest paid coach in America | MLive.com

Hoke signed a 6-year contract with Michigan in 2011 with an average annual compensation of $3.25 million per year.

Per the USA Today database, Hoke ranks behind only Ohio State's Urban Meyer among Big Ten coaches. Meyer ranks No. 6 on the list, with a total pay sum of $4.608 million.

Iowa's Kirk Ferentz ($3.99 million), Penn State's Bill O'Brien ($3.28 million) (who has since left for the Texans of the NFL), and Nebraska's Bo Pelini ($2.98 million) round out the league's top five.

The rest of the list, as it relates to the Big Ten, is as follows: Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald ($2.22 million), Purdue's Darrell Hazell ($2.16 million), Wisconsin's Gary Andersen ($2.04 million), Michigan State's Mark Dantonio ($1.96 million), Illinois' Tim Beckman ($1.70 million), Indiana's Kevin Wilson ($1.29 million) and Minnesota's Jerry Kill ($1.20 million).

What a freakin joke ... and he's under contract thru the 2017 season ... so Meatchicken is gonna pay out the ass for the foreseeable future for 'services rendered'. Couldn't happen to a classier school - HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

I am with you Bishop. Unless Michigan has a top named coach ready, then you leave Hoke. I think with the last two Michigan coaches they need to try and find a big name if possible.

And yet nd still doesn't have a winning record vs hoke or rich rod.....

I can't see any good leaving him in the position does? If the coach is replaced now, it gives us time to hopefully not waste a recruiting class. He doesn't needto take over right away, but at least knowing who it will be could help a lot.

That wasn't really a joke. It was just a straight jab.

I was going more with the avatar and signature bets you have lost to yourself. But I'm lazy and didn't clarify.

Hush and go put out your fire.
