I don't like it. Brandon is writing his own resignation if he refuses to ditch Hoke.
If they had fired Hoke last week -- or maybe even this week -- that would've been the end of it and Brandon would be safe regardless of various protests by the proles.
Now he's just ensuring he goes down with the fat man. And that sucks AFAIC -- really want him to lead the search for Hoke's replacement.

Yup, I said it as well. Brandon is dooming himself by refusing to do anything with Hoke now as he's a dead man walking at this point. Brandon will be replaced with someone who is most likely more competent. Whether they find a competent replacement for Hoke will remain to be seen though. The list of likely replacements are thin if they go with "Michigan Men," and other candidates probably won't leave the NFL for a college rebuild.

Plus will continue to get paid through his contract. Just means he needs to tone down and live like a normal middle class American and he'll never have to work again. Most people aren't that smart.

Wouldn't even have to be middle class. Conservatively assume that he took 60% home, that's $9.6MM. If he spent 1.6 of it, that leaves him with 8 million in the bank. Even assuming a starting point of zero savings or assets before taking the Michigan job, he takes that $8MM and treats it like an endowment fund and pays himself out 4% of the funds assets annually and plows back any additional yearly gains into the principal as a hedge against inflation/down years, that gives him a starting annual salary of $320K, most of which already has the taxes paid on it with any future gains taxed at around 16% as capital gains.

It really boggles my mind how athletes or lottery winners can go bankrupt.

Still, if he makes to The Game, and if Gardner has another miracle day, he could exit the scene 2 - 2 against the Buckeyes.

Watched the BTN 60 minute replay. Michigan has two players that could make the Ohio State defense in Clark and Ryan - though Ryan is NOT a middle LB - Peppers probably makes it three. The offense has Norfleet, Funchess and Butt. Gardner is dangerous to his team as well as the opponents. I can't figure him out, but he has size, speed, talent and he takes a beating every game and still goes out there.

The O line is terrible. If Rutgers can put a man in Gardener's face on damn near every play what will the Buckeyes and the Spartans do? Their D - line is so-so and their back 4 remind me of OSU - last year.

Finally, I didn't get more than a quick second look at the disputed pass play, but it sure looks like Tony Soprano had his man in the booth on the replay. Awful call.

Now that Weiss is free and Brady is about to join him, rumors are circulating that WWF wants to sign them up as a tag team duo - name to be decided after signing. Perhaps: The Bar-B-Que Brothers, Briskets, Sinister Saucy Slobs, Smokin' Slammers, Round Mounds of Pulled Pork, Double Wides, Cold Slaw,

They'd have a huge schematic advantage...
