Hoke led San Diego State to a 9-4 record and a bowl victory this season.

Thoughts from the Michigan faithful?

[UKMustangFan]

He's going to have his hands full with the RichRod mess. I think he's the best they can do at this point.

Probably not a bad choice, although he likely won't be considered the home run hire Michigan people want.

[FC]

As long as Michigan keeps losing to the Buckeyes I’m all for it.

[CatsCatsCats]

I would be afraid of Hoke. He's really only had two really good seasons, and he used those seasons to cash in on bigger jobs. However the man has been a winner where ever he has went. I give the hire a B.

[CoachBuckett]

I think the Michigan AD had no choice. He didn't have a plan when he let Rich Rod go. This is his 4th choice. I willing to bet it turns out a mess.

Urban Meyer to Ann Arbor in 2 or 3 years anyone? Probably not, I think he takes over for Tressel when the vest decides to hang it up.

This was a rumor going around ESPN also with Urban going back to coach the Bucks, I dont see Michigan being any better until a few years down the road. He told the AD that he would bring back the pro style offense and they would play defense. I think this turns into a mess to for them but by no means does that bother me lol.

Be careful grading this hire...see "Gene Chizik to Auburn" thread

UM fans have to be humbled a bit at the lack of interest in this gig.

So are you voicing concern that Hoke will have a good year at Michigan and then move on to a good football school?:sssh:

He is not the "homerun" as others have already mentioned, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him have success. It's not going to be instant, but he can get it going in the right direction.

I'm a Michigan fan, full disclosure.

 

This has a Jim Tressel to Ohio State kind of feel to it, only on our side. I am optimistic.

 

I hope Denard Robinson stays and Big Blue can do some things next season.

Where will D. Robinson play? Hoke has already said it will be I-Formation with a fullback and not a running qb.

How about tailback?
