Serious question: with the way he bumbles and stumbles and murmurs through the media's questions, how the fuck did he go through the interview process, leaving them with a real strong this-is-our-guy feeling?

And if he, by comparison, interviews well, I'd love to hear what the also-rans sounded like......

He was probably interviewed for an hour. Hoke probably spent 30 minutes of that naming every single type of pizza on the Domino's menu along with toppings and side items. He probably brought in 10 boxes of pizza to eat while he interviewed. He spent another 20 minutes on how he could coach without a headset. The last 10 minutes he talked about having pizza parties after every win. This obviously blew away Brandon and lead Hoke to have a salary of 4 million a year. It would have only been 3 million, but the pizza parties upped the ante.

So does the pizza budget come out of his salary, or is in addition to his salary? This is a big deal.

I agree with you that "shaken up" is a vague phrase. So if you are ignoring that phrase, and pain has nothing to do with it, I guess you are retracting your statement made earlier, in response to a comment I made to NFBuck, that it is standard operating procedure to pull a player after he suffers a nasty hit and is in obvious pain or otherwise shaken up.

Now we're just playing semantics.
Your comment was about the same situation -- my response stands. It's not really a matter of opinion anymore; it's pretty much SOP and as others have already posted there are certifications required involving exactly this scenario.

Apparently, according to a thread on Stadium and Main, virtually noone on the staff was aware of the hit. At least, not those staffers who've been interviewed today, I guess.

Well, in their defense......Who would want to watch that shitshow?

After taking a direct helmet-to-the-chin hit, he may have been trying to tough it out, telling the sidelines to leave him in, but at least one of his teammates on the field were calling for the training staff to at least come out to take a look at him.

Seem like they might be a little more reliable in that situation......

Doesn't matter - the NCAA guidelines for it clearly state it's not up to the player if the coaches suspect something occurred. Seeing that there is video evidence of players motioning for the training staff as well as Nussberger telling him to go down, something is clearly amiss.

The "I didn't see it" excuse is fairly blatant circle-the-wagons cover-up antics.
Given the penalty, how long he stayed down, him waiving somebody off while he wanders around the backfield aimlessly, etc. ..... maybe Hokey Pokey himself didn't know b/c he's got no headset and completely oblivious. But it's not even remotely believable that nobody was aware of it except the 40,000 people in attendance.
My suspension of disbelief is being sorely tested here.

Here's all you have to say, folks....

When a school takes to giving tickets away by selling sodas....
Michigan IS Ball State, now.

Every morning these idiots wake up, the first thing they should do is give thanks that they are not Ped State. That is about the only thing they have going for them at this point.
