Anyone have any info on how Brady is fitting in back with the Aztecs? I wonder what the dynamic will be with this time him here as an assistant to the guy he once hired as one. I think Hoke will add some fire and passion to the team. Rocky is such an even tempered guy. ON the sidelines he hardly ever changes his expression no matter what is going on. I hope Hoke can add a little more fire out there and at practices. What do you all think? What have you heard? Very curious.

"wayno" I think you are very correct about Hoke bringing some fire and passion especially to the defensive side of the team. It is also good to have an assistant like him who will do that, because that is exactly what is needed at times! I still believe that a even tempered head coach like Rocky keeps the team on an even keel. Because you don't want them to get down on themselves when things go bad, and you still want them to play hard without over extending the emotions and possible burn out. Good winning teams are usually like that, even tempered. Hoke as an assistant coach can provide the extra passion when needed, and that way the team will not over do it, and take itself out of the game. |

I wonder if Hoke is around when Rocky decides that he has done enough if Hoke will take over?

We probably have the best Dline coach in the nation. Can’t hurt

Echo the sentiments above...I think that having Hoke will be a very "steadying" influence on the team. When the hire was announced I did not get the impression that Brady was looking at this as a stepping stone. He will be 61 this year, and has done the stepping stone thing already to his dream job, and we know how that worked out. He's definitely not going back to Michigan! I would think that this is a pretty attractive place to be for a number of reasons; not the least of which is that it is San Diego, a brand new stadium is on the horizon, AND yes, the HC is probably going to stick around long enough to experience that new stadium and then enjoy the rest of his days hanging out in OB. Within the next 3-4 years there will be a HC opportunity I would guess. Brady would be a perfect candidate at that point.

Hoke has so much coaching cred, it demands respect.

Let's not forget, Brady Hoke was the defensive line coach at Oregon State from 1989 through 1994, while Rocky Long was the defensive coordinator at Oregon State from 1991 through 1995. So, Brady has reported to Rocky before. Side notes, Rocky was a quarterback, in college (New Mexico). Brady was an inside linebacker in college (Ball State). Both were team captains for good teams, at the time. |

Here we go again with the Hoke for head coach in the future thing. Look at his career results people. If that's the sort of head coach we are looking to get after Rocky departs, then don't bother building the stadium.

If that's the sort of head coach we are looking to get after Rocky departs, then don't bother building the stadium. Yeah, let's look at Hoke's career record, 'lasaztecas', since you seem to be not impressed by him. First, after taking Ball St. the year before he came to San Diego to an 12-0 record (he did?), he then puts some guts and determination in to a San Diego State Aztec team which had not seen any in over a decade. Then guided them to their first winning season in 2010 at 9-4 which included their first bowl victory (35-14 over Navy) since way back in 1969. We have had nothing but winning seasons since, but he got us going that way first! Third, he left to go coach his dream job at Michigan, and he may not have been the best, or winningest coach in the nation, but he did have a fine 11-2 record with them that first year! His Wolverine team did defeat Notre Dame, Nebraska, and rival Ohio St. that year before going to the Sugar Bow to beat 17th ranked Virgina Tech, 33-20! His overall record at Michigan was a winning one at 31-20 for four years. Not outstanding, but not as bad as you try to infer. There have been many coaches who have done considerably worse. The main thing is he instilled a tough, determined, never give up attitude here which Rocky has continued to promote over the last eight years, and that is something you can't measure always in wins & losses. I have absolutely no problem with him and Rocky leading our Aztecs. I welcome him back completely, and look forward to the 2019 Aztec Football for sure! |

just let him be the DL coach he is this year - or what ever his contract says-and evaluate as the seasons go . Make decisions from actual results
would also guess the coaches will talk about their roles during practices and games - then modify as needed
let's try to get back to winning MW - will need a quality DL and check it out from there
Any thoughts on Brady on the recruiting trail this time around

(2) He took over probably the worst coached Aztec team in history, and a program which actually had good players it it. He simply took it where it should have been with a competent coach. Which Hoke certainly is at this level - competent. (3) His time at Michigan was rough, really rough. I know several Michigan FB diehards, and well, yeah. (4) I'm very happy to have him back with the DL. |

Not thinking about succession planning at this time, best thing about Hoke hire is a staff with former HC's is a GOOD staff.

lasaztecas, so..., (1) 9-4 when you go from 0-10 just two years previously no cares about who you beat! Just having a winning season finally is exciting!
They were in the games they lost, and what were you expecting?
(2)Can't blame him for what transpired before, although it seems like you are do just that! It does take time for the positive aspect to work
completely on the team. There is no way of knowing what a different coach would have done with them & never will!
(3) Nothing new, I did mention he did not have an outstanding time at Michigan even though his first season was very good. But, of course Mich. fans
are very much like most good P5 schools as they think their team should win the conference championship, or be a contender every year! Not always
intelligent.
(4) Wow! you actually say something I agree with! Great!

Hoke was a major coaching upgrade compared to the coaches that arrived before him. He won for us, in a short period, not five years.
Beggars can't be choosers and we're in no position to be spoiled and entitled.
