He took the money and a much larger program. I give him one free pass. You know you always go back to your "first love".

He has been fired from every job he has had since he left SDSU. I guess it's fine that he is the DL coach but I am not too excited about him being the Head coach in waiting.

Oh man, I hope he doesn't go all San Diego style with Brady and his wife moving in with Rocky and his wife at their house in OB to "save on rent". Brady looks like a guy still that gets the munchies. OB might not be a good move.

I've gone ahead and drafted his 2021 "end of season" text message...
Fellas: It's been an honor. Hate long goodbyes. I'm gone.

But I think each time it was a result of the head coach getting fired and not necessarily a reflection on Brady. I for one am ecstatic.

He did a great job HERE. He had one winning season at SDSU and left. He assembled a very good staff that helped him to that one winning season. He had everything possible available to him at Michigan and they progressively got worse during his 4 years there. He has a career 78-72 record as a head coach. I think we can do better at finding a head coach. I am fine with him as the DL coach though.

Ok, but not only did he turn us around right away, he instilled a culture of toughness here that we desperately needed. He did a heck of a lot in his time here. He seemed as though he was just getting started.

I like it, but the one downside is MOW will be back, in full force, waiting for Rocky to sneeze the wrong way, so he can call for Brady to take over. We'll also have Hoke's "Well.....you know....." responses to every media question. But other than those two things.......welcome back Coach Hoke!

I'm OK with him being hired as DL coach but no more head coaches in waiting! It unnecessarily handcuffs the AD. When it's time to replace Rocky, do a national search.

So, I wonder why the program would have the guy on campus today, have a player's dad tweet that the guy has been hired, and yet nothing from the program? If this is all true, I am curious as to how quickly after Dec. 3rd (Hoke's firing date with Carolina) Rocky was in touch with Brady. From a timing standpoint, it's very interesting. I mean was Lawson giving the hard sell to recruits up to 2 weeks ago? Then the recruits hear Lawson has been fired and yet there are no de-commits? What can a HC or lead recruiter tell recruits about possible coaching moves in order to entice them, or tamp down any second thoughts? I know, a lot of questions to be answered! I don't have the answer to your questions, but the strange thing is this is very similar to how Ernie Anderson's firing was handled. Some random Daily Aztec contributor posted it on Twitter and it wasn't confirmed until a week later. AztecMesa is usually 100% wrong on Roomers, but considering the Ernie Anderson firing Roomer turned out to be true, I'm giving this Roomer the benefit of the doubt as potentially being true.

But I did get the first name right and second half of the last name right, give me 75% credit!

I'd love to see Hoke bring in some Big 12 conference sized D-linemen to the Mesa for a change.
6ft 5, 300 lbs with quick feet.

I don't see anything coming out on the football program until after signing day regardless of whether it is about coaching changes or anything else. Signing day is tomorrow.
