The sun will come up tomorrow. That's been the phrase uttered across maize and blue country recently and when the sun finally breaks on December 3, 2014 a new day will bring a new start for Michigan.
Yes, rejoice and be glad Michigan fans. Your once hailed coach (pun intended), is now riding off into life without Michigan to the tune of millions you owe him. Brady Hoke didn't go out to taps nor will he be recognized on the street as the epitome of the Michigan Man. Hoke will drift off as a distant memory. Sure you'll hear his name muttered over the next few days, weeks, and months, but when the new coach raises his fists to the beat of the Victors you'll have soon forgotten the name Brady Hoke. You'll forget the Sugar Bowl victory and the non-headset, but you won't forget how they made you feel. Perhaps you might find yourself wishing 2011 Hoke was coach, if your new headset wearing man roaming the sidelines at the Big House doesn't win right away. But that won't happen right? This is Michigan for God sakes. (Will the real Rich Rodriguez please stand up?)
Michigan starts the hunt all over again and this time the stakes are higher. From what it sounds like, Interim AD Jim Hackett is steering the ship to where it needs to go. No more Michigan Man nonsense may just be the right path. History matters when talking about history. History doesn't win the game or build the program in 2014. You want to win? Find the guy who wins and get on your knees and beg. No coach is begging to come to Michigan. Step one is admitting you have a problem. Being open and honest is the best policy. Come out and say we made mistakes, and we're going to fix them with all we can muster. It's a new road for a once unblemished program. Now is a new day to start over and rebuild.
Good Luck Ann Arbor.
