Hours after Les Miles opted to stay at LSU Michigan announced San Diego State coach Brady Hoke as its new head coach. It was Hoke's name that had kept coming up as choice #2 if Jim Harbaugh passed on the job.
Brady Hoke spent 8 years as a Michigan assistant coach. He was the defensive line coach on the 1997 National Championship team, which also led the nation in run defense.
Hoke has authored turnarounds at both Ball State and San Diego State, taking both to bowl games after years of mediocrity. He also has other coaching experience in the state of Michigan. All that will help with recruiting in that area.
Some analysts say that if he brings his San Diego State offensive coordinator with him they have the offensive minds to bridge the offensive system, still utilizing Rich Rodriguez's pieces but in a more multi-dimensional way. We'll see if Denard Robinson stays though.
