    I don't know what to think, to be honest. I'm not sure he's the right guy to "resurrect" the program, but it could be worse I guess. He's unproven on a big stage, but he understands the program and its traditions. I'm all for leaving your own mark on the program, but Rod made some changes right away that turned off people associated with the program, and fans. I think Hoke "gets it". More importantly, I hope he can recruit, coach, and handle the pressure.

    I hope he's the right guy. Would be nice to see Michigan at least compete for the conference title. Too much negativity around the program right lately.

    One big positive for Miles is that he can handle the pressure. LSU was undefeated earlier in the season and people were saying he was "on the hot seat". That is nuts. If he can handle people hating on him when undefeated, I think he could handle the pressure just about anywhere. He maybe a little nuts, but thats not an uncommon trait in a good coach.

    What a fun ride, in the end with miles it came down to money. IMO it was Hoke all along, hoke was a Carr guy. I am sure we will see Carr the destroyer back at MI. I am so glad I got season tickets.

    I don't have a QB, but I'm not sure if Robinson will leave the Michigan or not. He had said he would not stay of Rod was fired. Kids say things though. Guess it all depends what Hoke wants to do with the offense. Robinson is NOT a pocket passer. He was terrible in obvious passing downs. If he wants to play QB in college, I'm not sure he stays. I'd like to see what he could do as a RB or slot receiver.

    I'm not familiar enough with Hoke's offensive style.

    I heard Lloyd is trying to replace Michigan's football program with womens table tennis. I hope thats just a rumor, but we all know Lloyd is pure evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pitt should have hired Rodriguez........and Robinson would have gone with him.

    He still may go (wherever RR goes). But, Pitt would have made it easy to leave.

    I'm saying you're gonna need a QB.

    I think he is pure evil:). I am glad I sit in row 1 so I can tell him how much I love him. Vito you're coming to a game with me next year.

    DR should transfer just like mallet did. We do have a 5 star qb in waiting who is a good pocket passer.

    Gardner is a big, athletic kid with a strong arm. They expect good things from him. I believe they were able to get an injury redshirt for the '10 season, so he would be a redshirt freshman next year.

    Do I have to wear a "Lloyd's the Devil" or a "Bring Back Rod" shirt? If so, I am in!
