Michigan student paper calls out Brady Hoke, Dave Brandon comments
By Jack Crosby
The Michigan football program is in a bad way at the moment. No, now it’s not just the fact that they’re playing poorly on the field, rather the debacle this past Saturday involving quarterback Shane Morris and head coach Brady Hoke letting him back in the game when he obviously may have been suffering from a concussion took things to a whole other level.

Well things got a little weirder early Tuesday morning around 1:00 a.m. ET, when Athletic Director Dave Brandon sent out a press release, basically contradicting everything that Hoke had said in his Monday press conference when he was questioned about the handling of Morris.
More or less, Hoke denied any knowledge of a concussion, while Brandon admitted that Morris was diagnosed with a mild concussion on Sunday.
With all of this, the Michigan student newspaper had enough, and they went all in with their Tuesday morning program in calling out the program.

That about sums it up. For as angry as just casual college football fans have been over all of this since Saturday afternoon when all of this took place during the loss to Minnesota, you had to imagine that the fan base and students are beside themselves with anger.
This headline from the young folks that go to school in Ann Arbor and religiously support the football program pretty much validates that.
