Brady Hoke thinks Harbaugh made the wrong call...

"Personally, if we have the No. 1 defense in the nation I'm going to test those guys," Hoke said. "You've got to play to the strength of your football team and the strength of the Michigan football team all year long has been their defense."
He said he was sure "Jimmy" went over what he wanted to do and how he wanted to do it but Hoke said there are too many potential breakdowns on a punt.
"No. 1, I think the one gunner to the field should have been in a little bit more and if you're going to punt it there's ways to protect it a little better," Hoke said.
Hoke first credited the MSU defense for forcing fourth down and said he would have gone for it at that point, handing the ball to De'Veon Smith and "challenge your offensive line" or play-action pass to take four to five seconds off the clock.
"Look, I know it's easy from where we sit right now," Hoke said. "I've been on the sideline and had to make decisions. I went for two against Ohio State two years ago because Devin Gardner has a broken foot and didn't think the defense was playing as well we needed."

Brady Hoke "Monday morning quarterbacking" hairball's coaching decisions, and giving a coaching decision that he made in a losing cause as justification! Does it get any better than this?

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
Just when I think this can't get any better, ol' Fred Flintstone shows up on the scene and starts second-guessing HARBAUGH!!!! 
Predictably, the mgoblog readership is trashing Hoke.

If Harbaugh would have taken off his headset he could have gotten more involved in coaching the gunners to slide in and block.
