Next year regardless of who the coach is, our defense was gonna get better with the new kids coming in! But either way I dk much about Hoke but either way I'm ready to win!

If Hoke can't find a way to use D-Rob as a QB then he wasn't the right man for the job. If D-Rob can get a little better in his reads and real to relax more in the pocket Hoke will be able to use him in any offensive scheme. Strong is the head coach at Louisville. I wouldn't mind seeing Ron English standing on the Michigan sideline again. As far OC I don't know.

Actually how about one game since he has yet to coach one for UofM. It seems that in most cases at Michigan if it doesn't work in the first 3 years then we fire and get a new coach. Alot of people wanted to fire Carr after his first 3 years for only winning 9 games in each season. They ended up keeping him around and the next year we won a NC.kkopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544678682331363194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-46018521867043528042011-01-11T15:24:36.982-08:002011-01-11T15:24:36.982-08:00What do you think of D-Rob playing wide receiver I...What do you think of D-Rob playing wide receiver IF Brady Hoke wants to run a pro-style offense.

As an alum, I'll give him my full support as I did RR. The unsettling issue for me is how everyone talks about him turning around Ball State in his 5 years there. The truth of the matter is his first 4 years were losing seasons. Is that really going to fly here? I really think Brandon made a huge mess here. He should have stayed the course with RR one more year. He had a great defensive class coming in that has since fallen almost completely apart.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123222643904057571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-3531947317894372472011-01-11T15:13:38.687-08:002011-01-11T15:13:38.687-08:00I actually work with a guy who played under Hoke a...I actually work with a guy who played under Hoke at Oregon St. He is a defensive minded coach who lives to make the D-Line great. I think Big Will will be a d-lineman next year and Hoke is the man to teach him how to get off a block. At this point, our defense needs this man and if his brothers comes to help, it could be a good year. We have a weak schedule so he will have time to get used to the offensive style of RR's players. Not to mention SDSU just had their best season since '98 and 1st bowl win since '69. The passion is back in Michigan and the fans got a Michigan Man. I will back HOKE and its time to bring some defense back to the BIG HOUSE.matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517569337663915627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-48140939812112041992011-01-11T15:02:28.335-08:002011-01-11T15:02:28.335-08:00It's time to back the new coaches play.

Maybe some current DL recruits will reconsider know that we will most likely switch to a 4-3 if we have the depth. Yes, I know that Hoke ran a 3-3-5 when he first got to SDSU, but that was a depth issue. I also think that D-Rob will stay and be QB. I also wondering if next year we can get a little more production out of the RB's. Just didn't seem to be there near the end of the season.

Therefore if Hoke can run anything like a spread offense, I think Denard will stay put. Besides, if Denard ever wants to play QB in the NFL, he'll have to learn to play in a 'less-spread' offense. <br /> I think Mike Martin is arguably more important next year than Denard. If MM leaves, it will be really hard for UM to run a four man front with any real success because there will be no depth or experience at DT.<br /> If Denard goes, sure the offense will suffer, but at least they have Devin Gardner with four years of eligibility. The problem is if Tate and Denard both leave, then depth becomes the issue. I'd really like to see Hoke try and bring in any kind of QB in this recruiting class now.Benjimichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091020414429042956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-52360886879429849352011-01-11T14:33:52.288-08:002011-01-11T14:33:52.288-08:00I'll admit, I didn't like this hire at fir...I'll admit, I didn't like this hire at first, but the more I'm reading about Hoke, the more I like him.

Everyone talks about how young Michigan's defense was, but the offense is almost as young, and they were pretty good considering they didn't have a FG kicker. <br />If Hoke can run a similar offense to RR, then really all he needs to worry about is finding a kicker and improving the defense, which he should be able to do.
