Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostUnfortunately we weren't at this site until a few months after Brady was hired, so I can't go back and dig up the wild predictions and unjustified optimism after his hire. Pity. I seem to recall his 2008 season with Ball State being the primary reason he was going to turn the Michigan program around...because he nearly won the MAC one time in 7 years or some such.
That said, since you asked, why would I evaluate a blogger primarily based on his taste in coaches? The AD is the one making the hire. The blogger blogs. In this particular case though Brian didn't like the hire. On 1/5/11, after Harbaugh went to SF, he listed six guys he liked better: Mullen, Wittingham, Fitzgerald, Patterson, Peterson, Strong. And then he wrote ``Does Hoke approach any of these guys? Absolutely not. If he'd been a Michigan State assistant no one would have ever brought him up.'' One thing about Brian is that he's great at spotting Michigan's hubris and how it trips over itself. Brian cited that as a reason to be skeptical about the hire and he turned out to be correct.

Michigan wins vs OSU are on the way. Harbaugh teams are not going to go 1-9 vs ohio in his first ten seasons at Michigan.
I think a lot of us here would be pretty satisfied to see them go 5-5. That's not the best scenario, but its better than what we have now."in order to lead America you must love America"

We all have a good bit of selective hearing or more appropriately stated, we filter, we delete, we hear what we want to hear or fits our view of whatever world we are talking about.
It is hard not to do that. Very hard and the mess the world is in right now is a testament to that truth. But here, on the micro level, all sides who participate here (right now just MSU and osu and I think that is unfortunate, love to have more), have a view shaped by their football experiences.
I welcome that. On not more than one occasion I have had my expectations properly reduced and/or adjusted by the view's of M's football opponents who wade in here to post.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Here, hack, I'll do you a solid and post here so you can get your butthurt out on this thread instead of cluttering up recruiting thread. Now carry on with pretending that I'm Strangelove....let it all out...it will help you get over the pain...Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
