This fat bastard is Brady Hoke, officially the former head coach of San Diego State and the new head guy at Michigan.
As was fearlessly predicted a few hours ago by Woodsy and Gordo, Michigan has officially hired the only person that was interested in their coaching vacancy. Even the Golden Voice Ted Williams guy, who was homeless 2 weeks ago, turned down this job.
Hoke has done a nice job turning around the San Diego State program but let's be honest, SDSU ain't Michigan. It's lower profile, its vastly less media attention. The alumni base aren't a bunch of rabid eat-their-own cannibals with serious false illusions about prestige and greatness. Frankly, it has to be said that the recruiting base is probably a lot deeper at San Diego State. Furthermore, Michigan's current stable of players suck. RichRod left the cupboard awfully bare. Denard Robinson is fun to watch but he doesn't play a style conducive to winning 11 games a year. He can't even stay on the field for 4 full quarters without getting hurt.
If I were this guy, I would want something like a 4 year iron clad contract because that is the absolute soonest this guy can hope to get the Wolverines nationally competitive again. I kinda feel bad for Brady Hoke because he was the only guy who wanted this job and he was still their third choice.
Tough days ahead in Ann Arbor.
