Non-Michigan fans are saying Fire Brady Hoke because of "concussion-gate". What they don't realize is there is plenty of reasons to fire him and concussion-gate is just another example.
Top 10 reasons to fire Brady Hoke
10. Looks like he doesn't do anything on the sideline during a game
9. Darryl Funk
8. Concussion gate
7. Al Borges
6. He lies, examples include Gardner's turf toe and Gibbons "family matter"
5. Prior head coaching experience only at Ball State and SDSU
4. Failure to develop a talented roster full of 4 & 5 star players
3. His football philosophy is 1970 not 2014
2. Handling of Brandon Gibbons situation
1. Outside of year 1 his Michigan teams have been terrible
Top 10 reasons to fire David Brandon
10.Selling home games to Dallas
9. App State reschedule
8. Only considering "Michigan Men" when hiring Brady Hoke (he coached the defensive line here)
7. Selling coaches titles to donors
6. Waiting until January to fire RR - which lost out on Harbaugh
5. Alienating former players and alumni
4. Alienating season ticket holders
3. Alienating Students
2. Brandon Gibbons situation
1. He thinks he is bigger then the program
When I thought about writing this post, I thought it would be difficult finding 10 reasons for each individual to be fired. I actually had to cut some.
Michigan needs to find a way to get out of the headlines. It just keeps getting worse and worse. With every loss this story will continue to live. Remember Texas last year?, it never stopped until they fired Mac Brown. The media really isn't that interested in a coaching search but they will continue to beat a dead horse until that person is fired.
I keep waiting for a shoe to drop and there probably isn't anything that will happen until late November.

The only way Michigan gets out the headlines is to fast forward to May 2015 in which everything should be settled by then & this fan base is salivating on Saturdays for the new program & new leaders to take flight for the season to start.
This tornado will not end until the trash is emptied & a fresh bag is put in the bin. Michigan football will be a headline all the up to Spring practice with the new coach gonna be long few months to April but Im sure it will be worth it. Im done with this but better days are to come after this disaster clean up teams comes thru AA.
Brady says he didn't see it.... did he wonder why there was a 15yd roughing the passer flag? did he ask anyone what drew the penalty? did anyone say, 'hey coach, Shane got rocked, he took a nasty hit to the head'? Is Brady that unapproachable that his staff wouldn't have stepped up and told him that during the game?
Its very difficult to imagine how he didn't know, didn't ask, wasn't told. Short of him telling a bold faced lie, i'm not sure how this could happen...
The continued communication circus between he, the medical staff, domino dave... this shit is making Michigan football a bigger laughing stock than the loss to appy state did.
Top of your list should have been the future beatings we will take by Michigan State, and Ohio State, ETC.
I respect your point about the games in Dallas, but I do not see problems with having a game every once in a while schedule at a neutral site that is not a bowl game.
The Alabama game in 2012 then the Florida game in 2017 is fine. It provides a unique experience for the team in play in Jerry World's Stadium, could be a recruiting boost to kids in Texas who could come to Michigan and play a game back in their home state, and there are Michigan Alum everywhere that probably cannot always make back to A2 so those close to Dallas can go to a game.
Putting a reason to fire DB (which Im totally on board with) as having 2 games in Dallas in a matter of 5 years seems a bit extreme to me.
The fact that people still harp on the Gibbons thing is irritating. Michigan dismissed him. It doesn't matter the timetable, they eventually did it. They did not let him graduate from the school.
Meanwhile Izzo kept 2 players on his team for 4 years and let them graduate. The school had the capacity to dismiss both and did not act despite their sexual misconduct.
Delayed or not delayed, Michigan TOOK action. And a media shitstorm followed.
MSU took zero action and conveniently covered it up and let it go.
The moral of the story is too NOT be proactive so you can hide behind it.
The MSU situation was known, but did anyone in the local media give a damn, nope, too busy on the Gibbons thing.
Where is all of the outrage about Steven Ross and his corporate control of our program. Is he untouchable. After all, Dave Brandon is only his stooge. The lions will never win under the thumb of the Ford corporate machine because there is no passion. The Wolverines will continue to fail on the field under the corporate thumb of Steven Ross. It is becoming more and more apparent that Steven Ross owns this department and what he says goes. If Dave Brandon is his puppet then all of this vitriol is an exercise in futility. The Regents gave away the shop when they accepted Steven Ross dollars. Now we have a program with real trouble. Protesting the students on the field through a boycott is myopic and unproductive. Protest where the heart of the matter is and get Steven Ross out of our athletics.
