Brady Hoke is Ready for the Michigan Job … if the Wolverines Fire Rich Rodriguez
Brady Hoke: The San Diego State football coach, a hot commodity right now, told his school’s president that ultimately, he hopes his career takes him to the University of Michigan. He might get it sooner than expected. Michigan saves $1.5 million if it fires coach Rich Rodriguez after the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl. The speculation seems to be win or lose, Rodriguez is gone, and Michigan will then make a run at Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh. If he passes (my guess is he does), Hoke’s their guy. It took six years for Hoke to get Ball State to 12-1; in year two at SDSU, the Aztecs are 8-4. [Union Tribune]

Hoke would be #2 on my list. I will be disappointed if Harbaugh passes, but I think Hoke would do a good job.
This is still my timeline:
1/1 – victory over Miss State.
1/2 – Brandon announces that Michigan football is “going in a different direction”.
1/3 – Jim Harbaugh is identified as the person to take them in the direction that he wants.

Pointless speculation, TBL. Hoke is NOT coming to Michigan. Sorry. And as much as Duffy loves to say RR is getting fired, don’t be surprised if he doesn’t.

No post about the 1-AA playoffs? I think it’s wonderful that a Villanova team that went 5-3 in its conference has the ability to compete for the national championship…those regular season games really were more exhibitions than anything looking back

how the fuck do you know? that statement is about as pointless as TBL’s speculation.

I’m looking forward to the rematch of 7-4 BamaSt verses 8-3 Texas Southern. I guess they didnt settle it on the field the first time.
Last night Delaware figured out the logistical nightmare of getting 8000 people into the game. I’m sure an extra 100,000 just involves a few more traffic cones.

Well Michigan is a 1-AA football team right?

I think Rich Rod is already out. That’s the only rational explanation for why they would keep him hanging and refuse to end the speculation while recruits were leaving. Unless he’s basing whether to fire him on the bowl game, which would be insane.
Question becomes who. I think Harbaugh is #1 choice. Probably the optimist in me, but I’m not so sure he jumps to NFL over Michigan. If he rebuilds Michigan into a national title contender, he would be a God. NFL jobs would always be there 6-7 years down the road if he wanted. Do you pass up one of the best college jobs at your alma-mater to get paid the same amount in an NFL job where you could get fired in two years?
Not sure Hoke would necessarily be #2. “Michigan Man” argument not nearly as important as “Winning”

As a Michigan fan I would love Harbaugh to come to michigan but i don’t see that happening i would be happy if Hoke took the job and if ur saying that Hoke won’t leave San diego state job for Michigan Ur nuts
