Exclusive Interview with Brady Hoke (after taking SDSU job)

by markusr2007 on Jan 11, 2011 2:04 PM CST

I think it's pretty easy to imagine Brady Hoke making similar statements and answering like questions once he signs the dotted line for David Brandon and the University of Michigan and provides his first press conference in Ann Arbor.

He talks slowly, clearly and methodically. His voice does remind me of Lloyd Carr's.

I give this guy 2 years

before his neck consumes his jaw… his nose, his eyes, and finally he turns into that starfish guy from Spongebob.

Lee Corso is the village idiot... rarely right, but always funny.

Not cool

You can argue that his resume isn’t up to the standards for a Michigan head coach, but cheap shots at the man’s weight are asinine. I don’t blame him for wanting the job, and I respect him for the love of Michigan that he so openly displays. If you disagree with the hire, take it out on Brandon, not Hoke. Don’t be one of those douche bags that routes for him to lose so that we can fire him.

For every complex problem, there is an answer that is simple, easy to understand, and wrong.

Hoke's Presser...

BSUalum07: “Coach Hoke, in six seasons as a MAC head coach, Bo Schembechler never had a losing season, yet you had four at Ball State. How can you alleviate the concerns Michigan fans might have over that.”
BH: “Well, I like bacon and cheddar on my burgers, grilled onions, ketchup and mustard. Oh and mayo, lots of mayo. To give it taste, you know.”

Zach Travis: “Coach Hoke, what do you like on your pizza?”
BH: “Well, we want players with intensity both on the field and in the classroom…blah, blah, blah…extra sausage…blah, blah, blah…players who will come to play ever day….extra cheese…blah, blah, blah, respect tradition…extra mayo, got to have mayo, for taste, you know…blah, blah, blah…don’t want to lack intensity…blah, blah, blah…”

Dave Koenig: “Coach Hoke, when Bo came to Ann Arbor, he said his only goal was to beat one team- Ohio State. What is your number one goal?”
BH: “Beat one team, any team!”

Mitch Albom: “Coach Hoke, I was there the day you were born, and I distinctly heard you ask for a maize and blue pacifier. Were you always destined for this job?”
BH: “I get to go to the front of the line at Zingerman’s, baby!”
