Brady Hoke...Really?

As the weekend went on by there were football games back to back on Saturday, just how it should be. While my team Ohio State was pulling through at Cincinnati, Michigan wasn't having such luck. Michigan was struggling against Minnesota in their 30-14 loss Saturday. During one of the plays a Minnesota defensive line player basically lays the Michigan quarterback, Shane Morris, out. He lays there for a minute and struggles to get back up. He has a dazed look on his face and he stumbles while he walks and falls over into one of his defenders, if that defender wasn't there to catch Morris he would have fallen to the ground. Everyone was telling him to get off the field but he waved them off saying that he could still play. As a coach that would have been the warning to pull him off the field. But Hoke apparently didn't see that..? Or he did and just let him keep playing, which could be a health risk, a big one. The next play was then almost an interception and Morris was pulled out. Morris was suffering from an injured and Hoke says he thought Morris was stumbling because of that injury. Hoke is getting a lot of criticism from this because who wants their kids playing for a coach that doesn't take care of this players, let alone what university would want to have a coach like that? Hoke says he didn't see the play,yet he had sent in the clip to the Big Ten because he saw it as a targeting hit which can be penalized by game suspensions. This whole situation in my opinion is a lack of communication and Michigan coaches just looking other places than to take blame. They say that they've learned from it and are moving on but how? Hoke is having a tough year in Michigan as is and now this is here to put another wrench in his year and possibly his coaching career.
