Dave Brandon watches film w/coordinators WITHOUT Hoke
Saw this roll across my feed. These guys have 59,000 followers and are followed by some prominent people like Angelique, Bogenschutz and Bob Stitt(!).
The strangest thing I’ve heard about Dave Brandon is that he watches film on Sundays with the coordinators individually (without Hoke).

If now isn't the most necessary time to play this, I don't know when is.

that Dave Brandon likes Huey Lewis and the News?
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I Want a New Drug is badass. I celebrate their entire catalog.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:42 PM ^
How about Phil Collins? This is Sussudio. A great, great song.
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
and their Huey Lewis and the News, Elvis Costello, and Bananarama!
October 2nd, 2014 at 5:56 PM ^
Really? Now I've heard everything.

that's what I thought

Why...why are there copies of the Style section all over the floor?

Is..is that a raincoat?

Jesus he IS the Jerry Jones of college football.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
At least Jerry Jones was an all-conference offensive lineman and co-captain of a National Championship team. Brandon was a third string scrub.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:37 PM ^
has also kept the Cowboys mediocre (and looking ok this year). Brandon installed screen doors on a submarine and filled it with concrete.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
If this is true it explains a LOT of things wrong with our football team. Brandon in essence is cutting across Hoke and could be....prolly IS.....giving instruction and "advice" to these guys indpependent of Hoke. Which Hoke, being his subordinate, would be unable to change.
Jesus S tap dancing christ. This is the single WORST most damning most infuriation thing I've heard yet (if true) and definitely could explain a lot of the disfunction and general clusterfuckness we see on Saturday.
I honestly cant say if I hope this to be true or not. If it is, I now feel real, real bad for Brady and want Brandon out even more than I did five minutes ago.

Next AD to Hoke
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:25 PM ^
brought a smile to my cold, dark heart.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
I'm impressed you have seen this movie, at your age.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
Office Space isn't even 20 years old...
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
The vast majority of my HS students haven't seen it. So the humor of my red Swingline stapler is lost on them, unfortunately.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
How's it going mfan_in_ohio? Yeah we're gonna need you to move your desk again.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:59 PM ^
Yes but, but, okay but.... That is the last straw
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
Neither is Wolverine Devotee
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
Hoke: So I was sitting in my office today, and I realized, ever since I started coaching U of M this year, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
Bradon: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?
Hoke: Yeah
Brandon: Wow, that's messed up.
October 2nd, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
He has a bunch of stupid ideas and thinks he's gonna get rich off them
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
I'm watching Office Space. Again.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
Much less be able to identify with it.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
I first saw it in my economics class my Junior year of HS.
When I got my laserjet printer (aka THE BEAST), I smashed my old printer in my parent's backyard while playing the song they did in that scene.
BACK UP IN YOUR ASS WITH THE RESURRECTION

The '90's was SUCH a good decade for movies.
Well done.
October 2nd, 2014 at 5:36 PM ^
I'm 22, and I watched it (not for the first time) in my driver's ed class about 8 years ago. Most people that I know have seen it, but I also don't ask everybody I meet if they've seen it. So. There you go. I guess WD is slightly younger than me, though.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
Hoke is a people person. Can't you see that? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!??!
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:36 PM ^
I deal with the goddamn clapping for the players so the other coaches don't have to. I have cheerleading skills; I am good at cheering for people and making them feel good about themselves. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:32 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:19 PM ^
there's no way Brandon can be the AD when the next coach is hired because no self respecting coach is going to be on board with the AD sitting in on film sessions. Bacon even commented on how the coaches at PSU, NU and OSU asked him about these rumors while he was writing his book. It's a frickin' joke.

How many times are you going to come into threads defending Brandon for watching film?
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:49 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
You're just a penguin stuck in a pineapple, you wouldn't understand.
October 2nd, 2014 at 5:12 PM ^
I would say Brandon watching film is a reason fire him as no elite coach is going to come here with him doing that.
October 2nd, 2014 at 7:54 PM ^
Dead on, hart20. Dead on.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
Maybe they're all just really big John Wayne fans...
In seriousness, that's so insane that I entirely believe it. Also, any self-respecting HC should have told him to GTFO.
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
What a self-important prick. I'm sure the coordinators love to have him there. "Wow, what a great boss," they probably think to themselves. "He's got countless other sports to be concerned about, not to mention all the other administrative stuff, but he still finds time to help micromanage tasks that he knows nothing about."
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
Brady:"Why didn't you tell me to come to the film session on Sunday?"
Dave: "I tried calling you on your headset but you didn't pick up."
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
It makes sense... Brandon got his "Yes Man" in Hoke.. no good coach in their right mind would let the AD sit in on film session...
October 2nd, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
Sit in on? No - If Brandon is having them without Hoke he's fucking RUNNING THEM.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
Horrifying, isn't it?
