      • Now Mattison is a hire I can get behind. Awesome news for once.

        • They must have paid him well... I suspect his salary won't be much behind what ever Hoke gets.

          • Won't help much for the recruiting this year, but in the future, to be able to say, "Yeah, get coached by the guy who coached Hloti Ngata, Ed Reed, and Ray Lewis..."

            • Hoke + Mattison seems significantly stronger a combined resume than Hoke's alone. Mattison was the dline coach at florida as recently as 2007. He is 61 but he's got a stellar resume. This is a big "nailed it" hire (even if Hoke didn't/doesn't appear to be).

                Before the hire:


                Mattison, 61, says, "I have an interest in returning but I want someone else to be the HC. I don't really want the heat. You find me a good HC I can work with and you have a deal. His daughter living in Ann Arbor, didn't hurt any either :-)

                This has the U-M fans fired up now, Brandon had it planned the whole time, from bum to genius.

                • Wow what a great hire. Maybe this could swing a few recruits by the final bell.
                  F#*K OHIO!!!

                  You're not only an amazingly beautiful man, but you're the greatest football mind to ever exist. <-- Jeffy Shittypants actually posted this. I knew he was in love with me.

                      • Mattison hire 'a home run' for U-M

                        The first thing, Greg Mattison is a great, great recruiter. Michigan certainly needs that right now. Second thing, he develops players as well as any coach I’ve been around. Third, you look at the experiences he’s had, he was at Florida with Urban Meyer when they won the national championship. He’s been with the Baltimore Ravens. Fourth, the biggest thing, he’s great friends with Brady Hoke. It brings tremendous chemistry to that staff.

                          • Forcier leaves UM via press release over twitter. Says he wanted to stay and worked hard to catch up, and didn't give up on michigan, but it was made clear michigan gave up on him.

                            We'll see if he names a destination.

                            • I don't want to hate on the kid too much because, well, he is still a kid, trying to take the blame off of himself and onto someone else. Who hadn't done that as a 16-20 something? I'd wager a vast majority have.

                              That said, he had been a rather poor teammate once relegated to second (third) string, and displayed a very poor attitude through much of the season. If Michigan "gave up on him" it wasn't for no reason. On top of that, being academically ineligible was on him, not the school.

                                Immediate Press/Sports Release: January 20, 2011- Robert ?Tate? Forcier University Of Michigan Sophomore Quarterback

                                Why do we all wait until we are at our lowest point to seek God?s help? I?ve been kicked, pushed, knocked down, publicly berated, belittled, emasculated and more. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to give up or feel the victim. The humility of it all is indescribable and that is exactly my point. I had to reach rock bottom in order to see the light, and for that, I am thankful. It was not until then, I realized that it was my lack of accountability and maturity and not to pass blame.

                                I do hope all my young fans forgive me and benefit from my lessons that I have learned. Be grateful for what you have and be humble for your successes. Don?t wait to ask God into your life as he will help you see things clearer. In summary, I believe, I will become a better student and a person of stronger character from these experiences at Michigan. I can proudly state,?I worked hard on the practice field, in the film room and at meetings? after all, football is my passion. I had fun celebrating with the fans. I even competed hard while injured as a true freshman through the last (8) games in 2009, but I always played the game giving it my all.

                                I am proud to have been part of Michigan Football history and will always cherish the memory. The last few weeks I worked extremely hard to catch back up. I really wanted to stay. I was not giving up on Michigan, but in the end, it was made clear they had given up on me. With that being said, its time for me to go. I promise the Michigan family and fans I will make you proud again. Tate Forcier #5 - A Michigan Man Forever - Go Blue
