Brady Hoke is hanging by a thread at Michigan (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten), hoping for his team to somehow win three of its next four games to become bowl eligible. The Hoke era that began with a triumphant 11-2 campaign is ending with a whimper.
This season has been a disastrous maelstrom, one in which the lowlights include a 31-0 thumping at Notre Dame, an embarrassing road loss to Rutgers and a crushing 35-11 loss to instate rival Michigan State. Mixed in has been a controversy over backup quarterback Shane Morris’ concussion and a public apology to Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio over a misguided motivational stunt at Spartan Stadium prior to the game.
Forget Dantonio, Hoke should apologize to Michigan fans for running the Wolverine football program into the ground. Hoke’s Michigan team is fully capable of dropping the rest of its games and matching the Rich Rodriguez mark of futility (3-9) for the second time since Lloyd Carr’s retirement.
Rumors continue to swirl of private jets crisscrossing the nation allegedly carrying emissaries on missions to replace both Brady Hoke and athletic director David Brandon.
Here are the pros and cons of waiting until the end of the season to make a coaching change.
