i think if Bo, Woody, and Bear were coaching today they might all end up facing abuse charges the way things are so politically correct these days.. 3 of the best coaches ever, the coaches of today are not made of the same fiber as those guys.. bud wilkinson was a good one as was darrell royal, johnny majors... i guess it was a much different world back in them days
I have to believe boosters are going to start getting very impatient with Michigan and their AD, who did such a horrific job managing Domino's Pizza that the company based an entire ad campaign around his incompetence after he left (yes, I'm serious).
When Michigan got boat raced by Notre Dame a few weeks ago, I was pretty surprised. Those two schools are about equal talent-wise...and when one team blows out the other by that many, the fault probably lies with the coaching staff. It's hardly the only time that's happened under the Hoke tenure, though...
I think John Harbaugh ends up in Michigan next year. He's been rumored to have been interested in that job for a while, he's already won a SB with the Ravens and he's probably less than thrilled with his front office for overruling him on wanting to dump Ray Rice back when all this crap first became public. Seems like a perfect storm to me. Hoke is probably a dead man walking. Unless he miraculously wins out the year, including a B1G title, he will be gone by 2015.

i think i would also add don james to the list, long time Washington coach. He was a good coach and I think another was Bobby Bowden, deserving of a coaches hall of fame imo. Another great coach was tom osbourne and even Joe Pa whether u like him or not or psu for all that matters. All that i mentioned were great coaches and great motivators, may not have won the most championships but were great ambassadors of the game in their own way. Some like lou holtz could make you think you could run through a wall and some like woody, bo, and bear would push you through it... physically.
When I think of great coaches today worthy of being in this category the only one I think of is Saban. I think he is in a class all by himself in many ways among todays coaches. Dantonio at MSU could be a great one before its all said and done if you look at his whole body of work. Where the program was and where it is and how they continue to build on it. If Kelly was still at Oregon I would put him in there even though I dont like him. He has changed the game more than any of todays current coaches, not only with X and O's but how he approached the physical part of the game through training and nutrition, many now follow the blue print he created, I dont think he gets the credit he deserves, and i dont like him... think he has short man syndrome..

Here's what I find so funny and can't believe people can't realize: Saban was going to fire his OC Doug Nussmerier if he didn't take another job. Michigan was just dumb enough to hire him and spin it as a "win" for the school.
It's not common place for a HC to bring in a Offensive Consultant (Lane Kiffin) while you have an OC employed if you like the job your OC is doing. Alabama had so much talent on offense last year and they were so predictable and average (relative to their talent). Saban clearly told Doug N. to save face and find another job or he'd be let go. Michigan welcomed him with open-arms and got a coach that was about to be canned.
Sorry but Brady Hoke earned this mess.
Hoke has been a shitty coach from day one...He made his reputation (barf) playing in a Division 2 conference at the time. He is and has been way over his head coaching a major conference school vs major competition. Seriously, his teams always come in so unprepared. As a former major college football player I always say thank God I didn't play for that jackass. But there is a good side to him...Betting against this jackass vs major college teams can prove very profitable...Oh YAH!!!
