It was obvious though he was in way over his head at Michigan.
I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. It's one thing to be a bad coach, but the post morris concussion decisions really exposed him as someone who is simply incompetent to run an FBS program.
I understand what you are saying. I took situations like that into account before saying what I said.
When you are at a program like Michigan, you are under intense pressure to win. Your personal morals and ethics are put to an extreme test every day and these decisions can sometimes have to be made quickly.
I think he folded under that pressure. That doesn't mean he makes the same mistakes at a program with less pressure. He simply couldn't handle the pressure and made some bad decisions.
I am making these statements based upon interviews that I have seen him in and facial expressions upon his face while on the sidelines during the season. He was an obvious case of someone overwhelmed.
I knew he was going to be fired for sure when I saw him try to congratulate Gardner during the Ohio State game and Gardner walked right past him, leaving Hoke "hanging" with his hand out.
He was a weak leader who couldn't handle the pressure and all of the players knew it. He did just fine at SDSU though.
i get where you are coming from, but the whole "Morris concussion was the result of a miscommunication, but I will continue to not wear a headset" thing goes well beyond "being overwhelmed" and deep into "Total S**tshow" territory.
