Michigan Fans - I do hope that you guys eventually hire the right guy to help make you a dominant program again.

College football is just better when Michigan is relevant.

My fear for you guys is that you just fired "dumb" to higher "dumber".

LSU went through a very tough stretch in the 90's similar to yours we fired Hallman thinking that Dinardo would be the guy to "bring the magic back".

Maybe Hoke can be your Saban....

It wont be popular, but it's the right hire imo.

Was there really any other option?? I think (with time) Hoke will restore order to Michigan, but it WILL take time. Rich Rod did not recruit very well, and the fact he recruited a more specific type player for his offense, Hoke has a ways to go, but lucky for him, they understand the task at hand, and they will be patient with him. Never thought I would see a strech of several years where Michigan became fodder for Mich. St. & Ohio St; maybe the world will become balanced again in the near future, with a Mich. team that plays the way a Mich. team should, which means no gimmick offense bs like that under Rich Rod...

I really just can't believe that out of all the coaches out there this is the best we could come up with.

Maybe he'll be the best. You UM guys have been great this week. Best of luck in the future.

Michigan will be looking for another head coach in 3 years.
