Wojo Joins Chorus: 'Enough Is Enough, Michigan Must Fire Brady Hoke'

October 28, 2014, 8:15 AM

Bob Wojnowski hits the point of no return on UM football coach Brady Hoke. (Perhaps you know the feeling?)

Hoke will have to be fired after the season, not because a player drove a spike into the Spartan Stadium field, or a wobbly backup quarterback stayed in a game, or the athletic director tried too many gimmicks. It's because the job requires more strength and savvy than Hoke can muster, and being a good guy who cares deeply about the program isn't enough. . . .

The Wolverines still are grasping for comparable toughness, four years after Hoke was supposed to bring it. . . .

Whether Dave Brandon or a new athletic director makes the call, the call is inevitable.

The Detroit News columnist says that "long before a spike was driven into a field for unclear purposes, the message was lost."

The message and the team haven't evolved in Hoke's four seasons, never beyond the broad platitudes of playing "Michigan football."

His demise is in the details, in the fundamentals, in the lack of player development, and of course, in the record. The Wolverines are 3-5.
