See ya Brady

[DanO]

Not sad to see you go.

One more game and the Devin Gardner era will be over. Maybe the Hoke era too.

No maybe about it. He's done. He's been done. UM could have blown the Bucks out today and he still would have been done.

[Malto Marko]

I have no link but heard the intrim AD is likely to be named permanent AD.

Surprise, surprise!

Hackett has a good resume'. Better than I thought... I wish they would get someone with successful athletic director experience though.

[Malto Marko]

Tressell! Tressell! Tressell! Tressell!:-D

[Cody_Russell]

I think Tressel loves OSU. What if he took money & destroyed the program even more on purpose haha.

That's what I would do if I was already rich enough to retire and was hired as athletic director of OSU.

Welcome to college athletics now. Universities want people who can make money first; results on the field are secondary.

[froot loops]

He is a Michigan Man that is for sure.

[Drew]

I wonder if Nussmeier will be considered for HC once Hoke is gone. Was Nussie a Hoke hire or former AD hire?

[Malto Marko]

I suspect that is what he was hired for.

He was definitely not a Hoke hire as Hoke was not at the presser announcing his hiring.

.......which was controversial when it happened.

Nebraska fired Pelini today ... he was 67-27 at NU.

Would be a great defensive coordinator for any team... good head coach at several programs too (like a Purdue, IU, or Illinois).

[Cody_Russell]

"Nebraska was 8-17 vs AP-ranked teams under Bo Pelini, including 3-9 on road. 0 BCS Bowl wins and 0 Conference championships with him." ... plus the recent games vs Wisconsin have been embarrassing.

That's why Nebraska fans got annoyed of him.

[FVD]

His personality combined with not winning enough also lead to his demise.
