I think Hoke has proven to be a great coach. I think he will always be dependent on coordinators for scheme. But I think he's proved that he understands that too.

Hoke looks like a very good coach and says all the right things. I like the guy. But you just can't prove everything in one season. Not possible.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

There is still a chance that Hoke pulls a charlie wiese and sinks over time. I wouldn't bet on that, and he proved a lot of good things this season but he hasn't proved everything he needs to yet.
Charle Weis was nothing but an arrogant overconfident cocky pro OC throw into the Notre Dame HC. He never had any HC jobs in college. He may have been good at New England as the OC and it didn't hurt have Tom Brady as your QB.

Hokes seems like a great guy to me. I'm just using Weis as the model where a new coach wins with other players right away and fades off. This happens sometimes. Now let me be clear, I don't think Hoke will do that. I'm just making the point that one season isn't enough to prove everything that needs to be proven.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy.

Keep reading posts further down and remove your assumption that I want Hoke to fail.

Mass, you mentioned that it's a minor travesty that Michigan is going to a BCS bowl. So who are the teams that got the shaft? Boise? They played ONE tough game all year. And that "tough" game was against an average Georgia team that is barely inside the top 20. Oh yeah, I guess you can include TCU (who beat them on their field). Other than that they dominated the likes of Toledo, Tulsa, Nevada, Fresno, Colorado State, Air Force, UNLV, SD State, Wyoming, and frigging New Mexico. Ugh.
Next? Kansas State? Go look at their schedule and tell me with a straight face that they accomplished more than UM. Their keystone victories were against awfully mediocre Texas & Miami. They got blasted off the map by Oklahoma (58-17), and gave up 52 and 50 to Oklahoma State and A&M respectively. They also nearly got beat by freaking Eastern Kentucky (10-7) this season. Come on, dude. Be serious. They got shafted?
Same thing with South Carolina. Look closely at their schedule. Prove to me what they did that was so much more significant than what UM did this year. You can't, but I welcome you to try.
The best an unbiased person could do is argue that they had equal seasons. That's it. Each of Michigan, South Carolina, and K-State had similar arguments. But it's pretty obvious among the three that none of them stand out over the others.
The minor travesty in your eyes is simply because it's Michigan...and you hate Michigan. That's all it boils down to.
And Arkansas was a no go because 2 SEC teams were already in.

Lol! Yeah I know that (but apparently didn't turn the brain on when I typed that part out), but I'm pretty sure I remember Mass specifically saying South Carolina was one of the teams wronged by UM's BCS invite. Could be wrong, though.
Well anyway, Lets say there was no limit to how many teams a conference could have in the BCS. Arkansas would be the most deserving I'm guessing among the teams left out (and deserving over UM), but S.Carolina & K-State? Nah. Boise, too. Eff Boise and their pitifully weak schedule.AAL: KhaDarel Hodges
