Maybe Michigan A.D. David Brandon still thinks he's working for some pizza company. How else to explain his comments to The Associated Press last week? "All that glitters is not gold when it comes to some coaches," Brandon said. "A two- or three-hour meeting with a coach uncovers much more than you could learn scanning the Internet or sifting through statistics. Sometimes the hype or the PR doesn't match the real person." Brandon used to be CEO at Domino's Pizza, and taking shots at your competitors is accepted in that field. But Brandon just looks like a spurned 13-year-old with those comments. Harbaugh chose the NFL over Michigan and Les Miles evidently liked LSU more than Michigan. Brandon needs to keep his mouth shut and deal with it. Here's a tip for Brandon: Talk about the coach you hired rather than the coaches you didn't.

Staying on Michigan, LSU chancellor Mike Martin evidently couldn't resist stooping to Brandon's level. Brandon maintains that Hoke was the only man offered the Michigan job. Martin to a Louisiana reporter: "Well, if Hoke was his first choice, [Brandon] could've signed him up prior to ever talking to Les or Harbaugh, don't you think?"

Did anyone really think that Hoke was the only one offered the job.

The Wolverines are scrambling to maintain an identity of some sort.

I listened to Brandon's quote in context. I really don't think he meant it as as slight on Miles or Harbaugh. He was trying to describe the positive connection he felt with Hoke.
