I agree. It might have been illegal due to "launching" or whatever rule that is but I don't think it was helmet to helmet.

It's also leading with the crown of your helmet, which has been a penalty forever.

I don't think anybody wants anybody to get hurt....even if it is Suga Shane. This isn't to say that we revel in seeing him fail.
But seeing ANY kid....be it at TSUN or at Mizzory, or K-State.....get hit like this to the point he can't stand....and his FOUR MILLION DOLLAR COACH leaves him in there?

Man, that's borderline criminal.

Not saying Hoke shouldn't be forced to answer for this obvious negligence, but I don't remember anyone being critical of Dantonio or the Sparty staff a couple of years ago when one of their DLinemen (Gholston, maybe) was knocked clean out, and they called it "getting the wind knocked out of him" and he was back on the field in a few plays........

But...if you have a history of such things:

Ball State reprimanded two coaches after a football player suffered frostbite during a disciplinary workout in subzero temperatures.

Ball State's athletic director issued letters of reprimand to head coach Brady Hoke and football strength and conditioning coach Aaron Wellman after the workout, associate athletics director Joe Hernandez said Friday.

Redshirt freshman receiver Chris Jackson suffered frostbite to several fingers during the 40-minute workout Jan. 31, Hernandez said. Jackson recovered following medical treatment and has returned to workouts.

During the Jan. 31 workout, Jackson and several teammates carried a 25-pound sandbag up and down steps at the school's stadium, athletic director Bubba Cunningham said.

Cunningham said that the disciplinary workout used was acceptable, but not in severe weather conditions.

Jackson's injuries and the resulting reprimands were first reported Friday in The Star Press.

Hoke and Wellman could not be reached for comment. The Associated Press left phone messages Friday at the Ball State offices of the coaches. There are no home phone listings for each coach in Muncie.

"I have met with the coaching staff about appropriate judgments regarding training and conditioning," Cunningham said. "We've talked about appropriate guidelines and expectations of the staff, and we will follow through on that."

The workout, which began about 6 a.m., was conducted on one of the coldest days of the winter. The temperature at the start of the workout was 7 degrees below zero and the wind chill was minus-12, said David Arnold, an associate professor of geography who monitors local weather.

And here's the hit you're talking about, right?

Student paper unanimously supports immediate termination:

http://www.michigandaily.com/sports/sportsmonday-column-michigan-brady-hoke-must-be-fired

...

Whether Hoke witnessed what occurred on the field or not, it’s his job to know everything that goes on around his football team, with the health of players at the forefront of those responsibilities.

And so it is the position from all four of us on The Michigan Daily Football Beat that Hoke be fired immediately.

We do not condone someone who jeopardizes the health of the student-athletes for which he is responsible. Because if Brady Hoke cares about his players and taking his 115 boys and turning them into men as he so often preaches, then the first lesson he should be teaching is that no win on the gridiron is more important than their health.

It’s a serious matter to say someone should be removed from his or her job, and we treat it as such.

Maybe not the media, but there was definite outrage here at BP.

Huh...maybe not. If there was, I sure can't find it. I could have sworn there was a significant amount of discussion about it, but I didn't see anything in the game thread.

This opinion is universal outside a small corps of true believers who have inexplicable faith in the people who are just in charge of the Michigan athletic department. Hoke has been condemned by the ESPN announcers, Deadspin, Business Insider, Yahoo,Andy Staples, Nick Baumgardner, Wojo, Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel, USA Today's Nicole Auerbach, CBS, CBS again, USA Today's George Schroeder and virtually every other person to offer an opinion about college football this year. Hell, a news program aimed at olds did a segment on it, just after they talked about ISIS.

The die has been cast. Until Brady Hoke and Dave Brandon are removed from this program, This Is Michigan: incompetent liars.

I can't stand by and watch this anymore.

He forgot "Hell even the folks at Buckeye Planet are saying it's time for Hoke to go".

Anybody with a basement fallout shelter had better get down there. There is an impending collision coming between Michigan's obsessive need for spin and good public relations and their imperious Michigan Man arrogance preventing them from admitting what a huge mistake Hoke was.

As for me, I'm stayin' Enjoyin' my meltdown.

... and Brady Hoke is a MICHIGAN MAN!

That is all you need to know ... except perhaps ...

... that Michigan's Athletic Director is a former CEO of a big company that sells pizzas. Yes, that's right, Michigan's Athletic Director is a former CEO of a big company that sells pizzas!

So naturally, he is qualified to be Michigan's Athletic Director. In fact, he is more qualified than any other kind of athletic director, especially the kind who have experience running college athletic departments and hiring coaches. That is not the kind of experience that prepares a man to be a master of public relations flim-flam, which is what a Michigan Athletic Director must be a master at!

Do you know how hard it is to persuade 100,000 folks to spend more than $1,000 to buy season tickets to college football games when they could have picked up some tickets at 7-11 just by buying a couple liters of Coca-Cola? I'm telling you, that is not easy, nosiree! Don't think that any old ordinary athletic director is capable of doing stuff like that. No, it takes an athletic director who is a genuine former CEO of a big company that sells pizzas to pull off something like that. Do not try that at home!

What's that? You don't understand? That is because you are just ignorant peons who are incapable of understanding the depths of the twisted genius of the Michigan Athletic Director.

Do not question the Michigan Athletic Director! To question the Michigan Athletic Director is to admit, ipso facto, that you are not qualified, or worthy, to question the Michigan Athletic Director! You know enough about the Michigan Athletic Director not to question the Michigan Athletic Director, but you question the Michigan Athletic Director. Therefore, you do not know enough about the Michigan Athletic Director not to question the Michigan Athletic Director.

If you are an ignorant peon and continue to question the Michigan Athletic Director, you will be ignored, and then a way will be found for the experience of going to a football game to become so unpleasant that you will "voluntarily" give up your season tickets, which you could have gotten at 7-11 for buying a couple liters of Coca-Cola.

... and one more thing, WE ARE MICHIGAN! Seriously, we are.
