Brady Hoke has fallen on some hard times at Michigan. After a brilliant 11-2 start, he has coached Michigan to rather "who cares" seasons of 8-5 and 7-6 including two bowl losses. Last season he started off 5-0, before finishing up at 2-6. Is he on the perverbial "Hot Seat".
According to CBS Sports, the Michigan AD does not think so. "That's websites and that's bloggers and that's social media and that's all part of the game that's played out there -- let's stir up controversy," said Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon during a radio interview with Detroit Sports 105.1 FM (via MLive.com). "This happens every year. I can't do very much about that, other than (say), that's nonsense."
We all know what that means. Hoke had better produce at least 9 wins and win their bowl game or he is gone. Not easy when you consider that Michigan has away games against Notre Dame, Northwestern, Michigan State and Ohio State.
