The lack of support is now astonishing for David Brandon. We know about the students and big donors demanding change. Now DB has lost the alumni association:
"The athletic department procedures have emptied the cupboard of alumni support over the last several years and it will take a significant change within the department to bolster the level of support and fervor that existed then."
We have known for awhile that the former players were not happy on how they have been treated at games, etc. Here is another example from Homecoming this weekend from Steve Strinko, the starting LB on the 1974 team that is being honored this weekend:
Our 1974 Football team is being honored at Homecoming and we did get 1 complimentary ticket, however, I am bringing the allotted three guests at a cost of $75 per ticket. Seem crazy to pay $225 for my family to join me at this event. Oh well, the state of Michigan Athletics, or at least football.
- Brandon's email responses have made ESPN and now the Detroit News.
- 2000 Fire David Brandon T-Shirts will be worn by students on Saturday.
He is not reading blogs but getting major awards. He also better starting listening to advice, because if he doesn't resign soon, it will not end well for him.
The WOTS is this is going to happen and it's only a matter of time. Tell that to recruits.
The last time I wished the season would just end was Year 1 of RR. This is much worse.
On a side note: Tom Brady is still an elite QB in the NFL!

If Jeff Long is the guy, does that make Bielema a candidate?
He's not landed well in SEC land at all, but his last three years at WS (which were the years he had all his own recruits) he won conference titles. He's clearly a Big 10 guy at heart and he seemed to run a pretty clean program in WS.
Just a thought.
Did I hear that Jeff Long is a long time boyhood friend of Brady Hokes?
Pleas someone of influence (Big house blog, etc.) have them start playing We ain't going to take it anymore" by twisted sister (I think), maybe it will become the theme song of the revolution to depose of "front butt" Brady, or Mr. sunglasses" Brandon. Just a thought, song seems appropriate.
If Pat Fitzgerald would come I would want him. Is there any indication that he may leave NW?
They tried to hire Pat last time and he turned it down, I don't think he would bring BB with him if Jeff came to Ann Arbor. I have no information on Jeff and Hoke being close, but even a friendship can't keep him in this job any longer. With the news about DB this morning, the runway is now open to hire a new AD and a great coach.
