• WebFire

  Hoke says Denard is day-to-day. I think that is Hoke-speak for Gardner will play this game. Michigan by 14.

  I hope NU pulls this one out. If they can put together four quarters, I wouldn't be shocked to see them do it.

  Michigan is going to win 7 games this season. IMO Hoke is half the coach Rich Rod is and it's about to show. No way does UM go into Columbus this year and win

  You just showed us all your knowledge right there.

  I think hoke is an overrated coach. But he's way better then dickrod.
• WebFire

  So Hoke is highly rated?

  So Michigan is only going to win 1 more game out of their next 4, possibly 5 games? Avatar bet?

  8-5 at worst, 9-4 at best. Michigan I think is better than they were last season. They played a tougher nonconference schedule and haven't caught the breaks that they did last season, defensively they have gone from awful to pretty good much faster than I thought possible. I think they lose in Columbus but win all the rest including a pretty good Bowl game.

  No I think lane kiffin is overrated too... I think a lot of ppl think hokes a great coach. He's got a great d coordinator, but as far as a head coach. Eh, they played a ridiculously easy schedule last year.

  I don't think a lot of people think he's a "great" coach. Hell, I'd venture to say that even the tsun fans on here don't think he's a "great" coach, but I'm pretty confident that most of us agree he's better than Rich Rod, especially for the situation up there.

  I haven't heard anyone say Brady Hoke is a great coach.
• WebFire

  I'd say he has potential to be one, but it certainly remains to be seen. It would take multiple B1G titles and consistent top 5/10 teams to be considered great at Michigan.
• Midstate01

  

  You don't have to be a great coach to be overrated.. I originally didn't say he was highly rated. Web tried to imply that

  To be overrated you have to be rated high, do you not? Otherwise you are meeting expections (where Hoke is today) or underrated.
• Midstate01

  

  No I don't think you have to be highly rated. But let's face it. Michigan fans think he's a better coach then urban. So they think he's highly rated. And I'm not saying you say it.
• FatHobbit

  

  I've never heard anyone say that Hoke is a better coach than Meyer. But after the Rich Rod years, and the turn around in Hoke's first season is anyone surprised they think they are back?

  Ummmm, no, they don't. Again, I've never heard anyone say he's a great coach, and I've surely never heard anyone say he's a better coach than Urban.

  Go visit Michigan's 247 site. I've read it lots of times when people post the comments on bucknuts.
  
  After what Richrod did, hoke had a pretty easy job to turn things around. He's def done a good job at that. And it's better for the bigten as well.

  Ok, I should have said I've never heard anyone here say Hoke is Better than Meyer. I'm sure if you search the internet you can find lot's of Gibbyesq posters who will say anything.

  It wouldn't be hard for most coaches to improve on what Rich Rod did, but to go from 7-6 (3-5) to 11-2 (6-2) and a win over OSU is pretty damn good.

  Yes. They said he Denard wasn't starting. Is he playing? That'll wait to be seen.
