Brandon said something to the effect that not all that glitters is gold, some of the candidates put themselves before the program, the players.
He never specifically said names, but he was definitely taking swipes at someone, or maybe all the other candidates he interviewed. I dunno. It was tacky and uncalled for. Just say Hoke was your guy, doesn't matter what choice he was.
I truly think the problem is Brandon is an ego maniac, who wanted to sit in on everything and be involved ala pseudo head coach. With Miles or Harbaugh they wouldn't have allowed that, thereby wouldn't be allowing Brandon to inflate his ego. It was probably more about putting the team and the job they would be hired to do above Brandons ego. I'm honestly surprised he didn't name himself as head coach.

Oh. Well, whatever makes him sleep better at night. I think Les did put HIS players first, and the program HE built/sustained.
Honestly, that really doesn't bother me. Guy sounds like he is just trying to sway fans away from their favorites so there won't be so much negativity for Hoke.
I hope Hoke gets support and succeeds. You can tell he loves Michigan. Thanks for responding.

As was calling the Michigan program "Garbage" and I think everyone here knows that.
Angry people tend to say stupid things. This thread was itself an angry response to the classless (and quite frankly ridiculous) statements by the Michigan AD taking a uncalled for swipe at Miles, who treated Michigan with such respect in this process.
My quandry is this: If I pull for Hoke to do a good job, for the benefit of the majority of Michigan fans who are way more classy than their jerk AD, that benefits the jerk. If I pull for Hoke to be a flop, that punishes the Michigan fans who agree that he's a jerk and want him gone. What to do??
