Michigan head coach Brady Hoke comments on Jim Tressel

Michigan football head coach Brady Hoke will never have the opportunity to coach against former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. As you know now Tressel resigned this past Monday amid the allegations the he withheld and lied about information pertaining to NCAA violations by his players.

The following day Hoke commented on Tressel’s departure from that school in Ohio.

“I have great respect for Jim Tressel and what he has accomplished during his coaching career,” Hoke said in a statement released by Michigan late Tuesday. “We enjoy competing in ‘The Game’ and have great respect for our rivals in Ohio. Our program looks forward to the last weekend of November.”

According to Michael Rothstein of AnnArbor.com, this marks the first time since 1929 that both Michigan and Ohio State will face each other in a season where they have head coaches in their first year with the schools.
