I don't recall Saban ever firing anyone - they're encouraged to make lateral moves...
But Coach Saban is so mean

If you read past the headline, the article says "probable" mild concussion. Jake Coker was "probably" going to be our starting QB this season, too. I was looking for something a little more definative that "probable".Uhh, yes, he does. Not sure how it's hard to 'separate fact from fiction': http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...apologizes-says-shane-morris-has-a-concussion
I have not seen anything more difinitive, but does that really matter? He suffers from concussion like symptoms after receiving a severe head shot. If it looks like a duck...If you read past the headline, the article says "probable" mild concussion. Jake Coker was "probably" going to be our starting QB this season, too.

LOL, ok.If you read past the headline, the article says "probable" mild concussion. Jake Coker was "probably" going to be our starting QB this season, too. I was looking for something a little more definative that "probable".

I'm having a tough time separating fact from fiction in this story. Does the guy actually have a concussion? The closest I can find is the ESPN article that "the team neurologist noticed the symptoms of a concussion", but he didn't take any action that is mentioned. The MGOBlog hatchet piece avoids the subject entirely. Just based on the film, I don't know that this would even be a story without the talking heads playing it up on air.
That said, I always thought Billy Bob Thornton got a raw deal in Friday Night Lights. Looks like Hoke is toast...
Not trying to Pile on here, but fact/fiction, talking heads, whatever. This time it isn't just a media fabrication .Bottom line is there was a failure of the system at Michigan. They have to protect the kids , and any hint of a problem, he needed to be pulled and evaluated. The sideline neurologist said he wanted to evaluate the kid after the hit but was unable . The system failed. Especially in light of all we now know about CTE, dementia , TBI's and the like, that is unacceptable.If you read past the headline, the article says "probable" mild concussion.

Thanks! The "probable mild concussion" line sounded a bit too hesitant to give it much weight, but doctors covering their butts is much more plausible, especially given the amount of hysterical press devoted to head trauma these days.I'm guessing it was the determination of a radiologist. There is no such thing as a certainty in radiology as best I can tell...
On today's edition of Fox Sports' "The Audible" podcast with Fox Sports writers Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel, Feldman shared a piece of information that was never reported publicly revolving around Michigan's last coaching search that netted them current head man Brady Hoke.
"At this point I think I should point something out when we're talking about Brady Hoke and coming from San Diego State," Feldman said. "I don't know how many people know this, but when Dave Brandon was interviewing to replace Rich Rodriguez, one of the guys he interviewed was (current Texas A&M coach) Kevin Sumlin. He (Brandon) turned down Sumlin and ended up taking Brady Hoke, the Michigan guy."
Mullen if Le Smiles doesn't - and on the first whistle-stop opportunity out of Starkville (11 wins, maybe 10 would get him there).Not sure why JH would leave the NFL and go to UM. I'd guess there are at least two or three NFL teams that would prefer to have him over their current coach. Wonder if miles still wants that job?
I can't see him as an analyst, considering he has combined a face-for-radio with a voice-for-print...Hoke has royally screwed himself over. His determination to salvage his job at any cost has now guaranteed that his job is lost, and he has virtually made himself unemployable anywhere else. No team is going to hire a head coach who has so little regard for his players health and safety, especially in an Era where concussions are such a hot topic. His best chance to resign his position and take a job as an analyst somewhere until this blows over.
You sure you're not a radiologist in another life? LolI'm guessing it was the determination of a radiologist. There is no such thing as a certainty in radiology as best I can tell...
"Probable concussion, but cannot rule out malignancy. Clinical correlation is needed. Consider further imaging studies."
By the way, does anyone know a radiologist's favorite plant?
It's a hedge...
Good lord no. I was getting depressed just in a 4 week rotation because of being in a dark room all the time. Then again, I don't like making promises about anything, so I guess anything is possible... perhaps...You sure you're not a radiologist in another life? Lol
I've not been known to have the best vision, and I don't know all the ins and outs of the targeting rule. Regardless, I saw the tackler hit the QB in the chest with his shoulder. The QB's head snapped forward, and then the back of the head violently struck the turf at the end of the tackle. Personally, I didn't see the tackler contact the QB's head, and I never saw the tackler's helmet contact the QB. I guess it's targeting if the chest is considered the shoulders or neck. Nevertheless, it looked like a textbook clean hit to me.Can anything be done post game to discipline the Minnesota player who obviously was head hunting. Also the officials should be disciplined for missing the most obvious targeting hit Ihave seen since the rule was implemented.
