Nick Baumgardner and Brendan Quinn Talk Hoke's Future
These duds are clowns. Nick really annoys me also..... http:// http://bit.ly/1zFVI0D

fuck those guys. clowns.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:40 PM ^
Nick, Brendan, the queen has one for each of you.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:47 PM ^
I didn't know the Queen went to Ohio State.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:58 PM ^
She's like the "Get Back" coach. You never really hear about her. This technique doesn't come naturally, though. Look at his form. What great fundamentals.
November 29th, 2014 at 9:34 PM ^
November 29th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
Not true.
She is educated.
November 29th, 2014 at 11:40 PM ^
Is she fully aware ?
November 30th, 2014 at 2:06 AM ^
But I wouldn't say fully.

I happen to love his pessimism. Or reality. Whatever you prefer. He seems to call it as it is, and openly question the coaches's stupidity. And I like that. Its refreshing. Hell, Brian does it all the time.
November 29th, 2014 at 11:36 PM ^
I don't know, to each their own.
I follow him on twitter because he gets lots of info as a beat writer but I find any time he attempts to make an insight it misses a larger picture or is just plain stupid.
He is also unbearable during games with the live-tweeting.

Newspaper writers should stick to print. There's a reason you never made it into broadcast journalism.
However, that Quinn guy is possibly the best writer I've ever seen at MLive.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:34 PM ^
There was nothing in that video that made it worth watching.

Frankly, I find this entire thread amusing. People disagree with what a writer says and the crowd responds by saying he a hack and has no journalistic standards.
Someone even compared him to Drew Sharp. seriously? sharp has been writing negative columns for decades, Nick has been on the beat for 3 years. Your argument is invalid.
As for having no "journalistic standards" or whatever, no no one was saying that two months ago after the Shane Morris concussion when Nick hammered Hoke about protocol. Hoke was rude, condescending and said something along the lines of "you'll get it one day."
November 29th, 2014 at 6:35 PM ^
November 29th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
He's not really saying anything that most of us haven't said here already.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
I don't think he said anything Drew Sharpy. He was just stating the facts that there are no excuses and Hoke should be gone. However, there was really no substance to the conversation.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:40 PM ^
Neither of these guys are good writers. Nick has always been overly downtrodden and condescending to the fanbase in order to make himself feel good. Quinn's writing is dramatic cliche after dramatic cliche. But there's nothing wrong with this video or its content. Its just what you expect from any writers after this game. The vitriol here seems misplaced.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
Hoke truly did it to himself by being an assclown to the media. Totally clueless on that front.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
Well from the standpoint of that standpoint, I think you executed your opinion well. I agree.
November 29th, 2014 at 7:03 PM ^
Hoke lost games, that's why the media turned on him. It happens to every coach who loses. That's what they do, they're the media.
November 29th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
the rhetoric about all that matters is winning and losing is overblown. Hoke was rude/impetulant with the media in spite and comes off very clueless during press conferences.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:45 PM ^
no one would care about his petulance. Jim Harbaugh can be an asshole yet everyone one here is lusting after him. That is puts to the lie the "outrage" over Hoke's supposed petulance to the media.
No one really gives two fucks about a coach's demeanor. It's the wins and losses.
November 29th, 2014 at 9:47 PM ^
November 29th, 2014 at 7:43 PM ^
Do you see any local media in Gainesville kicking Muschamp on the way out? How about last season in Austin, anybody do the same to Mack Brown?
It's not all about winning games. Being a douche for no reason as a head football coach is a recipe for disaster if you don't win those games.
November 29th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
And who in the media besides Baumgardner does not like him?
Every article I read on Hoke is generally fair.Whatever "hate" there is only seems to emanate from Nick Baumgardner.

I really don't have an issue with it. Carr was worse. Much worse.He was flat out ornery with the media. Bo was no schmoozer either.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:00 PM ^
Yes. I do. Daily. Not only the media but the people. Daily.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
Rich Rod was super nice to them and yet they still screwed him over. This Bumgardner dude is just another Drew Sharp clone.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
Local media was kicking Will Muschamp the day he got on campus. No one cared that the roster had a mass exodus, he didn't win and they treated him the same way. Fans and media have no loyalty to anything but winning.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:06 PM ^
an absolutely horrible ambassador of our program in terms of interface with the media. Inarticulate, petulant, misleading and generally just an asshole. Look at the tape y'all.
You know, I'm sick of all the "Brady's a good guy but he has to go" nonsense. He's been an asshole to every outward-facing media source and because of his bumblingness has been a shitty face to our football team in general.
11-2 and we defend his horrible pressers.
5-7?
Nope.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
Brady Hoke may not be a good or even competent coach, but an asshole? I've never heard anyone who has dealt with him accuse him of being an asshole.
What I do think is that you are immensely frustrated with the losing and have allowed that frustration to color your opinion of the man. In other words he is an asshole because Michigan is losing. That is what you really meant to say.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
"I've never heard anyone who has dealt with him accuse him of being an asshole."
This is 100% not true.
November 29th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
It's not that he's an asshole, but he's in a very public, high-profile job with a massive, paying audience, and he has an obligation to be a more forthcoming, articulate representative of the organization. I don't think he sees it that way and that may be hurting him, a lot.
November 29th, 2014 at 10:32 PM ^
They don't have an obigation to do anything but win football games.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:45 PM ^
Hoke also lied -- or spoke out of both sides of his mouth if you want to sugar coat it -- and thought we were all too stupid to notice. Doing that to anyone will piss them off. Especially people that have to write about your program every day.
November 29th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
"We would never - ever - play a kid who had suffered any kind of head trauma."
November 29th, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
What I do think is that he failed to appreciate the seriousness of the situation. Hoke has proven himself to be an incompetent, not a win-at-all-costs, coach.
November 29th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
to this fanbase, program, and their current situation is getting a little bit tiresome.
November 29th, 2014 at 7:27 PM ^
I don't get why people are so pissed about this video. This is the first (and will be the last) of these videos I've watched. Doom and gloom? He just talked accurately and calmly about the game and about what happens with Hoke now. What's he supposed to say? We'll be in the playoffs?
The doom and gloom here is so much worse than anything they said. Hell, the doom and gloom talking about these guys is worse than anything they said. People are even personally attacking him. I don't know how he's drawing attention to himself except that, ya know, he's part of the media. Is he supposed to wear a mask and have a voice modulator?
November 29th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
I hear so much combining here about everything having to do with this program and while some of it's justified to get upset at a media member having a similar sentiment is laughable. He gave his opinion just like everyone else. The difference is that someone is willing to pay him for his.

Personally I'm not pissed about it at all, I'm indifferent. It's just three minutes of nothing anyone watching on TV wouldn't know.
