Hoke keeps his head coaching job and is also promoted to AD.

Michigan says it can't confirm a 4:30 press conference at this point. Stay tuned. More craziness to follow soon.

I hope to fucking christ "craziness" doesn't mean what I think it might ....

I mean, NO WAY ......

Does anyone hold a press conference to say that their coach isn't getting fired?

If that's what you're worrying about, don't. Hoke is toast.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Hoke gets an extension?

I mean Hoke is a silver-tongued genius after all. Maybe he schmoozed his way into it?

Fer god's sake.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Oh he's staying now.

The good ole' vote-of-confidence.

I know, right?

Still ... can't say I'm not concerned. Given the recent past it wouldn't be altogether shocking. Just mildly so.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Coach swap with Ohio State. Urbz to Michigan.

@SamWebb77: Source has confirmed that Brady Hoke has been fired as #Michigan's head football coach. Team to be briefed

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Crisis averted. He's gone.

He will always be The Philosopher King.

Saban to Michigan.

 

[Vanillalite]

He said "show ne" - maybe "ne" is short for Neil, one of his friends or something.

He's so misunderstood, he's just trying to hook his buddies up with some nice ladies.

I bet he's playing Snoop's classic Aint No Fun in the background!

 

[Lonestar]

you know, I hear Lloyd Carr is alive.

 

[Kacar]

Damn

In a twist of the knife, Rich Rodriguez is the Pac-12 coach of the year.

 

[Draxal]

Hearing Golden is gone as well (his buyout was massive due to him taking the reigns during the sanctions). This is looking like the landing spot for Schiano.

Hoke to get extension

 

[Purple Cheeto]

My Yahoo Sports app just notified me that Brady Hoke was fired.

 

[BertramCooper]

On an unrelated note, some asshole decided to schedule a John Oliver show here in Columbus on the same night as the B1G Championship game.

I want to kick that person in the balls (or ladyparts) so goddamn bad.

That's okay. TTK didn't tell us either.

Don't think fans will be happy unless harbaugh or les comes home.

Saban to Texas, Strong to Michigan.

Harbaugh to Alabama.

Gruden to Nebraska

Cowher to Florida

Any chance U-M makes a "We're so sorry!" run at Sumlin?

Clempson lost to Rutgers in basketball (holy shit there's 2 power 5 conference basketball teams worse than us).

Didn't realize Clempson Clempsoned in other sports as well.

And everybody knows Rutgers is Belicheck's dream job, so he can bang all the middle aged NJ housewives he wants.

It is our tradition to cling to the bottom rung in basketball, didn't you know?

LOL. Reading some stories that came from Michigan's past two coaching searches is hilarious. Miles ready to join Michigan after the BCS championship but the meeting with the UM AD was leaked a week before the game, Hoke over Sumlin, Harbaugh possibly not contacted about the position in 2011, Brandon hired Hoke without a proper search. Whether any of these stories are real is debatable but I'm sure there's a few grains of truth in each of them.

but if they do

if they do

lord help us

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't see it. He seems to like the TV thing. I think he'd sooner go back to the NFL if the right job opened up.

 

[FelixOrion]

I don't either but the idea of pulling in another NFL coach will make it just too much like the Callahan fiasco.

 

[KingGondo]

The Raiders are more appealing than Michigan right now.

At least the expectations are realistic in Oakland, they have some nice young talent, and they'll probably have the #1 pick this year with a lot of good QBs available.

If you go to Michigan you'd better be winning the division within three years max or the seat will get very warm.

 

[pxleyes]

What's happening guys?! )))

Hoke is coming to your state. Congratulations!

Too soon.

Sad if true but not unexpected, this year ended in disaster after the Noles loss, his teams just can't seem to win when it matters. I thought he had the program on the right track though.

I see we're back now at the jack-off hour.

Think it's confirmed that McElwain at this point right, I mean we had THE PLANE.

Thats really tough, but at least they went out on a high note. I bet they'll get selected for a bowl given the fact it will be the last game ever for their program and with that will come better than initially projected ratings for a UAB game. Only question will be whether or not UAB accepts the invitation.

 

[Kacar]

Damn, I really didn't care about the UAB situation until that photo.

Right in the feels.

 

[andycapps]

Shame that the program is being shut down. I was curious about what went into it so I was looking for some articles, ran across this crazy factoid. Had no idea about Rutgers.

Contention: UAB is losing far more on athletics than other schools.

Verdict: False. According to an AL.com analysis of the USA Today data, 125 schools have athletic programs subsidized at a higher percentage than UAB. UAB's subsidy is about the same as Colorado State, Ohio, Virginia Commonwealth or New Hampshire. Some 33 schools are subsidized at higher dollar figures, including Cincinnati, Kent State, James Madison and Houston. Rutgers and UNLV actually posted double the subsidy as UAB.

If you take the subsidies out of the mix and look simply at the bottom line, 36 schools across the country are hemorrhaging more than UAB. Rutgers and UNLV are bleeding money at twice the rate of UAB.

 

[Lonestar]

more importantly, they are also shutting down their Bowling and Rifling teams.

There was thought of merging those teams until it was decided they couldn't shoot the pins.
