re: Brady Hoke's meeechigan tenure, B1G perspective needed

He is a very likeable buffoon who was not qualified for the job. But, they wanted something that was the opposite of Rich Rod and went back to someone with ties to the old days and a controllable figurehead. Mattison is a good D coordinator, no problems there. The offense is a shitshow in part because it is still relying a guy who was recruited for a spread. And Rich Rod's playmakers like Gallon, Hemingway, and Denard are gone. That first year was fool's gold with an exceedingly easy schedule. Rich Rod would have posted a 9-3 at least, IMO. If the school had given Rich Rod the opportunity to change D coordinators again, the program would be in better shape today, although probably not for the long haul.
