Hmmm ...... I think he is great .. but better than Bo ?

I agree. Although that's a very tall task to be in the same conversation as some of the greats Michigan has had, I have a ton of faith that Brady is going to make all of us very, very proud of the program.

Now all that said, those people from Ohio really seem smart! Specifically the ones on "CRAPPY-GATE" from the other site. After Cole committed yesterday, there was a thread talking about how Michigan has a "nice haul of OL, but aren't recruting well in other positions, so having all those OL recruits doesn't make a lot of sense". Man, they've been so spot on with predictions of the future, I really hope they get it wrong this time. I'm really nervous they may be on to something here....

Well, we all know how well UUUUUUUUrbs is doing in OL recruiting right now...I'm sure their feeling about our "nice haul" might have them a little on edge.

I'd have to agree. In order for that to happen he'd need to win one NC and have a great career record to pass Kipke, Crisler, Oosterbaan, Carr, and Bo. Most people would say he'd need two NC to pass some of them which I would tend to agree with.
In most fans eyes I doubt he ever passes Bo. In wins and losses and in the bowl games I think he will pass up Bo, at least percentage wise. Will he pass Bo in the hearts of the fans? Possibly. Probably not. Bo had some great teams but they never could get over the top. I think Hoke will be a better big game coach then Bo, time will tell.
Hoke came to Michigan under similar circumstances as Bo did. They both took over the program in disarray. I'm looking forward to watching Hoke's career here at Michigan. I feel he is going to end up on the list of legendary coaches.

I like Hoke but he hasn't even won our division yet. This is ridiculously premature.

My original thought (and that's all it was) was that Hoke characteristics were so uniquely qualified to be the right person to lead the Michigan program in the "Michigan Way" meaning integrity, effort, family atmosphere, spirit etc. that I predict it will result in winning percentage, championships, beating Ohio, etc. If it doesn't then I've either misjudged Hoke or "The Michigan Way" is BS, and what we need to win is someone like Urban god forbid. Honestly do I believe he will achieve more than our past legends? I really don't know how to even make the comparison. It may be like asking who's better...Cazzie Russell, Chris Weber or Trey Burke? The answer can only be an opinion. It is more than statistics.

Ducks, please warn before proceeding with jokes like this, I was drinking a pop and now it's all over my keyboard!

Meh. The OP said he was making a prediction and if you wait another 8 years then it really wouldn't be a prediction.

you guys joke at this but i and most my michigan friends here in grand rapids wonder how a "great" coach does it without communication with the other coach's, guess is only game day responsibility is to call time out when the play clock strikes .01....plus this is way premature he hasnt won a big ten championship and is not favored to do that next year? add his overall record?????your ready to put him ahead of bo....for shame!!!!!

What nonsense and it's not Bo either, the best Michigan coach ever was Fielding Yost. Yost is responsible for six NCs we claim, he got Michigan Stadium built. The man is the single reason Michigan football is the brand it is today.

Ed: I apologise to Mr. Crisler, he introduced the Winged Helmet.

Had Bo at least won one NC he would have been higher on the list but the fact he didn't and lost a lot of Rose Bowls hurt him.

I think he'll win multiple national championships with the talent he's bringing in and the coaches he's surrounding himself with. I doubt he can be better than Yost. Yost is one of the best coaches in college football history.

Edit: So tired of you bucknut trolls.
