Quote:Why do you keep insisting on bringing up Hoke? No one here is defending Hoke.


After a 3rd bad season (7-6, 3-5 in conference), following two absolutely terrible seasons, Rich Rod's time was up. You keep saying that he was getting better each season, but so? Rich Rod's first season, he led Michigan to it's lowest win total since 1963. Of course the following year was going to be better.


In 3 season,s 15-23 (6-18) is not going to cut it. Especially so when you are get absolutely dogwalked by your Rival (37 to 7) and embarrassed in your bowl game (52 to 14) in year 3.


How old are you? 15? I'd expect anyone older than that to remember how 95%+ of the NCAA Football world was saying Michigan had to fire Rich Rod. It's not like Michigan was unjustified in cutting ties with Rich Rod.

The whole point is Michigan should have never hired Rich in the first place. You run a pro style offense. You have personnel suited to run that offense. You have upcoming recruits who are all suited to run that offense. And now yore going to completely change offensive philosophies and expect to be winning games in 3 seasons? That's absolutely stupid. If Michigan wanted to hire Rich, fine. But they should have had realistic expectations for making such a drastic change in personnel. 3 seasons is not a realistic expectation
