this was a statement that sums up PERFECTLY the RR and Hoke hires...perfect.
Rich Rodriguez was a bad fit who was undercut from the start by stiff-necked Michigan Men who didn't cotton to having an outsider working a radical program makeover. The corrective action was to hire Brady Hoke, who embraced the tradition of the place but was hopelessly in over his head as an actual coach.
The only thing I would add was RR didn't have the access to the type of talent he needed in the midwest or the contacts. Not to mention no DC but the point of Forde is spot on. The comment on Hoke...perfect.
