Michigan is known for wanting to have a “Michigan Man” running its football program. That’s part of why the school hired Brady Hoke ... who it just fired. So will Michigan hire a “Michigan Man” once again? Not only did interim athletic director Jim Hackett refuse to limit himself to “Michigan Men,” he wants to get rid of the term altogether.

WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!

Blasphemy! But at least Hackett gave a nice eulogy.
Hackett: If you cut open the Michigan Man, you find selflessness

If you cut open the soul of a Michigan Man, you can measure his age by how many rings there are.
