A letter to all Michigan fans from Head Football Coach Brady Hoke
It's been a very exciting three days for Michigan Football, it's fans, players, and especially for new football coach Brady Hoke, who, in response to a question about getting from San Diego to Ann Arbor, said,
"we would've walked here."
Coach Hoke and his family sent out a letter to all Wolverine fans through mgoblue.com in which they talk about their love of Ann Arbor, the Michigan family, and how excited they are when it comes time to run out of the Michigan Stadium tunnel on September 3rd.

Michigan introduces Brady Hoke as new Head Football Coach
"A Michigan Man will coach Michigan."
Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon introduced Brady Hoke today as the 19th Head Football Coach at the University of Michigan.
Hoke, who coached the Michigan defensive line coach from 1995-2002, comes from San Diego State University, where he guided the Aztecs to a 9-4 record in 2010, including a win over Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl.
Brady Hoke proudly thanked former coach Rich Rodriguez for he and his coaches for their service to Michigan Football.
Hoke talked with passion about his connections to the "Michigan family."
"we understand what Michigan football means" Hoke said,
"Character means something" said Hoke, who started his journey as an assistant coach with Bo Schembechler in 1980.
Hoke was very emotional talking about the players he called "family," and ended up his intro by saying "Go Blue!
My favorite quote was about growing up in Ohio..
"...I grew up in Ohio, I loved coach Hayes, but I was not a fan of that university."
Hoke talked about recruiting the Midwest and Michigan, and how it ties into the rivalries with Notre Dame, Michigan State, and Ohio State, saying
"we take these very seriously"
Hoke constantly talked about the Michigan Family," and what it means to be the past of the Michigan Football program.
AD Dave Brandon says Hoke will sign a six year contract with Michigan.

Brady Ball begins
Brady Hoke is now the Michigan Man that will lead the Wolverines back to the top of the Big Ten Conference standings.
Hoke is a former Michigan defensive coach, and as a member of the 1997 National Championship team, I hope Coach Hoke wears that big NC ring and let's everyone know he's the man to take the Wolverines back.
All day on my Twitter page I've been getting tweets from former Michigan players excited about the hiring of Coach Hoke, including Desmond Howard, Cato June, Mike Hart, and Jonathon Goodwin.
On the homepage you'll find a link to current and former Wolverines on Twitter. Check 'em out.
