This will be the first year that I'll hold Hoke accountable. Unlike in Pro Football, College you need time to get the old regime's players out and your guys in. That's done with, no more excuses.

[Newbomb Turk]

I am sure Mrs. Hoke is alarmed that you are holding her husband anywhere..........

Al 'Gorgeous' Borges out right?

[Kstat]

I feel bad for Al. You can't say he ever really had "his" type of offense in his 3 years at Michigan.

Not that he was any good, but he didn't get much of a chance.

[SeattleLionsFan]

You can't expect the sixth highest paid coordinator in all the land to coach his players to perform just badly in only three years.

I'm sure Borges is a good guy, and he might have success elsewhere but it was time for him to go.

[Drew]

They had to do something. I wonder who's in. Hoke is on the hot-seat in my mind. I certainly would've understood had he been fired after that underwhelming season.

[Cody_Russell]

Heck yea, Borges is gone!

If they bring back Cam Cameron it won't matter...

[SeattleLionsFan]

How about Doug Nussmeier from Alabama?

[WingsFan]

Collective groans out of Columbus and EL could be hear miles away....

Cam Cameron much like RicRod is a very good OC (just not a good HC) plus LLoyd hates him too. (LLoyd hates a lot of people). Cam was part of the other team that drew battle lines under Moeller. I would be happy with that hire, though many are saying he's staying at LSU.

I heard over the weekend that Domino Dave had a "im telling you (not asking) to Hoke about changes in the coaching staff", but was pleasantly surprised (to say the least) when Fat Al got the ax!! Thought is was going to be Funk (though he might still go).

Hoke is not an xs and os guy, nor cares about the Wine & Cheese part of the job. He recruits well and cheerleads during games. He needs someone fit to run the offense (for real). Fat Al was unacceptable!! Dude didn't have a clue about playing to player strengths, calling play action on 3rd and goal when you have -yards for the game????? I could go on and on.

This is like a new HC hire! Mgoblog is already tracking planes in and out of citys! This hire will be the game changer for Hoke and Brandon.

[SeattleLionsFan]

They hired Nussmeier out of Alabama.

[Kstat]

Holy shit. We snagged Alabama's OC?

How the shit did they pull that off?

[WingsFan]

What! Where how? Lets me look I think I like this!!!

$$$$$

Great hire

[Kstat]

That had to be a monster contract offer.
