If you feel on the fence about the Brady Hoke hiring. Watch today's press conference at Mgoblue.com.
It might get you off the fence.
He sounds like Bo Schembechler and acts like him.
Brady talked about:
- it will always be about the team.
- the Michigan players will be about charter, effort, and toughness
- everyone associated with Michigan Football will respect the tradition of the Michigan program
- met with the team today and has spoken with Denard for about 15 minutes today and will talk to him more today as well.
- the Ohio State game is personal to him
- got emotional when talking about all the players that he has worked with.
- going to focus on building a staff, meeting with the players and working on the recruiting class
- there won't be any visits this weekend
David Brandon:
- 5 cities in 6 days
- interviewed several coaches face to face and via the phone
- 6 year term sheet
- Tate is not with the program
- Didn't know Brady before this process started but got to know him through face to face meeting.
- Brady took this job with out talking about salary. The only person David knew who had done that was Bo.
- Looking for a guy that loved this program and had a reputation as good coach/players coach.
- Doesn't need to teach Brady the Victors
- Liked that Brady knows how to coach defense
- this game is about the players and all the Michigan players have noticed Brady's National Championship ring and he also has 5 other Big Ten Championship rings.
There were about 10-20 former players at the press conference supporting Brady. Which is very telling.

Question: why did Brandon say he was hiring a national search team? Was that a ruse? It seems like he handled it all himself.
Just curious. All in all, I feel good about his pick.
Go Blue!
Search firms helps him contact coaches and gauge interest in the role. It's then up to DB to interview them if he wants.
It's just a middle man service and way to keep UM name out of the media if a coach does or doesn't want the job.
That explains it. Thanks.
Wonderful talk! 100% behind what Brady Hoke represents and will do for the University of Michigan.
Go Blue!
Jumping Jimmie
Best quote from today when Brady was asked if Michigan is still an elite football program:
"THIS IS MICHIGAN!"
You better believe it is!
Go Blue!
Bob, remember to cross dee hart off the list. the guy is is a clown anyways.
