He'll be back to a level of competition that fits his skill set, I really wish him well, one of the good guys in college ball... http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2015/12/brady_hoke_reportedly_a_leadin.html
Hoke to East Carolina sounds about right
- Thread starter detroitjohn
- Start date
This cannot be right, did McNeal go 13-1 his first season and then get fired after the next?:
"East Carolina recently fired former coach Ruffin McNeal after the program finished 5-7 last season. McNeal went 18-8 over the two previous years."
"East Carolina recently fired former coach Ruffin McNeal after the program finished 5-7 last season. McNeal went 18-8 over the two previous years."
Not worded real clearly, but you're reading it wrong. He went 5-7 in 2015 and 18-8 the two previous years (meaning 2013 and 2014).
He was 42-34 in 6 years at East Carolina and he was 13-12 the previous 2 years at ECU. His teams lost some very very close games that could have easily given him about 3-4 more wins.
Looks about right, but surprised there isn't one of Clappy living up to his nickname.If you Google Brady Hoke the first two images are:
and
HAAAAAAAA!!!!
Clappy to an FCS school sounds right to me. You know they'll "be physical" and "control the LOS"...
Haaaa! AGP. And a good week of practice, even when they lose 38-10.
But it does take 5-6 years to build a program...
Or Western IL, or maybe Western Utah. He hired that level staff when he was setting UM football back.
If I were a non power 5 school...I would consider Hoke but I would be very curious on his staff because Hoke needs help and that is why he did o.k. at SDSU.
I think Hoke is a mediocre/poor non-power 5 coach. The guy could sell ice to eskimos but why any legit football program would want the guy...I just don't know.
If I was a low level program then by all means. Low risk.

sorry for joining the debate so late. The key to Hoke's SDSU success was Rocky Long who got the Aztecs to a bowl this year. Maybe the best DC in the nation. Rocky wanted to stay in San Diego which was good for him and the school.
Western Carolina's Coach Mark Spier is better than Brady Hoke. Guy is a baller in a crappy program.
If this thread turns into "coaches who are better than Clappy", it will get REALLY long...
Can we give the Brady Hoke thing a rest now. He is history. His negative impact on UM is no where near the long term damage RR did.
They both did their own, unique damage to UM. Rod's non-existent defense kept the cupboard bare for a couple years after he left and Hoke's inability to develop an offense short-changed us this year and likely next year, especially on the offensive line and depth at QB. I wish him well, by all accounts a very decent man.
I have to agree with this, and I was a long standing Rodriguez apologist.
Yikes.
I just ordered that and the Endzone book. I wanted to wait until after Harbaugh's first year to read them.
