Does Hoke get fired today?

Board meets today.  Accountability?  I think he might get fired today.

This is a preview from the presser after the meeting



The Board announces full support of Coach Hoke, and there is nothing to see here.

Their recruits sure hope he does: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2014/09/29/michigan-recruit-decommits-others-consider-options/16459527/

I think he lasts the season, but both he and Brandon are gone the Monday after the last game.

I think Hoke and Brandon are about to start pointing the finger at each other. It wouldn't surprise me if Hoke, knowing he's a dead man walking, starts to turn on Brandon. This could get a lot better, because at this point Hoke has to try to preserve his reputation, or he's done in the coaching world.

I think if they find out Hoke knew about the concussion before Monday he will be fired today.

I think Brandon has to be fired either way since he did know about it.

If I was Hoke, I would hold a presser ASAP and make Brandon and the medical staff show up, and ask why he wasn't informed on Sunday that Shane had a concussion (as appears to be the diagnosis/case)...unless he did know...

I don't think "Michigan" likes being embarrassed in the national spotlight, and I think they might hold someone accountable. Today.

I hope not.. as a proud Spartan, I'm very worried about the well-being of the young men that play for him.. scUM needs to send a similar message of concern and get rid of Hoke.

It sounds like, from the M-Live article that they want to avoid the FOIA and are having a "communications meeting" and not an actual Regents meeting.

It's all about perception, and the perception of UM is not good right now.

So they're probably gone the end of November.

Would you stop with this angle. I don't care about Shane. Well, I do enough to admit I wouldn't actually want him out on the field with a concussion and actually have his life put in danger. But the story is now about incompetence, miscommunication, spin and cover up.

we all have different areas of concern when it comes to scUM and their football program..

Just realized my thread title and the poll title are kind of opposite (as far as a yes/no answer).

Oops.

How much $will Cheddar have you put down on this?

Someone needs to get an interview with someone on the medical staff. Or are they not likely to talk given the nature of their profession?

Probably covered by HIPAA.

No one on the medical staff is going to say anything.

Maybe they could at least admit whether it was communicated directly to Hoke. I think the President will know that today anyway.

I think UM had practice on Sunday and/or Monday. So it seems Morris could have actually been practicing if not for a bad ankle. Is it really possible to be that dysfunctional?
