Brady "XLLL" Hoke (Head Coach San Diego State)

[NFBuck]

Don't think Harbaugh ever wanted the job in the first place, the 49ers having the upper hand. Either scUM couldn't match their offer, or JH overpriced himself.
Smart cookie.

GO BUCKS!!!!

The story seems to be that there was never even an offer. They wanted him to interview. They never even gave themselves a chance.

I thought there was some story that harbaugh had pissed someone in AA off (LLLLLLoyd, maybe?) and that he was not on their list of potential candidates anyway.....

That may be the reason for the slow play he got. Either way, they're idiots for not giving him the full court press. Personally, I think it was the NFL all along for him, but they effed up big time by not doing everything in their power to convince him to come be their savior. Instead, the pizza guy set his sights on a coach that had a <.500 career record and had zero titles of any kind on his resume. You get what you pay for.

scUM fans need to realize that Choke isn't going anywhere for at least one more year. I find it amusing that the predominant message I see on their boards is that they will undoubtedly stink next year but 2015 is going to be the year they turn it around. Um, they are likely breaking in a QB with limited experience in Shane Morris in 2015. I wouldn't exactly be holding my breath for that year as their turn around.

Yep, it's the whole greatness by association thing - "Most wins in the history of college football, 11 national championships, 42 Big Ten titles, the largest stadium, Ole Number 98, blah blah blah...."

But like you say, that doesn't mean anything anymore. Since Michigan's half-title in 1997, they have .676 winning percentage, which places them 17th in the FBS. By the way, Ohio State is fourth (.777), and even Wisconsin (.706) has passed the scummers. In each of those 15 seasons, Michigan has had at least two losses, and seven times they have had four or more losses; they are looking at another 4+ loss season this year. Which means that when Michigan is at their very best, like their fluke 11-2 season in 2011, they are barely relevant on the national stage (12th in AP, 9th in BCS), and when they are at their "average" they are struggling to win nine games and play in a third-tier bowl.

Is there much difference between them and ND?
When I think of mediocre and irrelevent that's where I go first.

Nope not at all. Both schools have recruited overrated players at haven't amounted to much, and coaches who can't coach up their average players to at least above average. And a fan bases THAT EXPECTS NCs on an annual basis. Living in Indianapolis, I laugh weekly at ND fans who think Osu fans are arrogant and delusional, yet they think that the Alabama loss was a fluke, lol
If Osu fans at even arrogant, at least we have a reason to be, we don't brag about our success in the 70s as a measuring stick for our team in 2013

Been saying it for years.

scUM hasn't killed any student assistants but other than that the fanbases and football programs are the same.

Nothing to support this, but I wonder of they don't give Morris the reins next year seeing as how bad Gardner has been, and allow Gardner to move back to WR. It's probably his best chance at getting drafted and Hoke is going to need all hands on deck to save himself. If he does somehow make it through next year, then he'd have a QB with one year of experience going into 2015.

I could see this being a real possibility, and if I were Gardner I'd be all for it, and secretly grinning because I'd know Morris would be getting killed and not me. Home has to put all of his recruits in the forefront next year. Derrick "the hamburglar" green will be out in full force as well

TSUN new slogan, now replacing "Those who stay will be Champions" to "Addicted to Mediocrity" where we will teach
you how to be average and how to live with disappointment and yet talk like your on top of the world!!

My God, how DELUSIONAL are the hobbits up in Ann Arbor if they're not calling for the ouster of everybody from the AD to, quite frankly, the inept QB?!?

1% as delusional as PSU fans?
