First he lets his starting QB wear the number 98 as some sort of tribute to a Wolverine legend. That QB ends up playing like a guy who would normally wear 98, which really dampens any tribute. The team is a mess and looks worse now than when he took over. Then he lets a clearly dazed backup QB go back into the game. He has no direction with the team. I think he doesn't make it through the rest of the season.

Michigan coach Brady Hoke is taking heavy criticism for letting quarterback Shane Morris play after he took a violent hit to the head late in his team's 30-14 loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
Morris, who also injured his leg a few plays earlier, was visibly woozy after taking a hit with 11 minutes left. He needed help standing up
Shockingly, he was allowed to stay in for one more play before he hobbled off the field. ESPN's Ed Cunningham called the decision "appalling":
"I got to tell you right now that No. 7 is still in this game is appalling. It is appalling that he was left in on that play to throw the ball again as badly as he was hit by [Minnesota]. To have No. 7 in the game on a gimpy leg after a hit like that, that is terrible looking after a young player."
It only got worse from there.
Two plays later, the quarterback who replaced Morris had to come out of the game for one play because his helmet fell off. Instead of putting in the third-string QB, Hoke went back to Morris. That's when ESPN's Cunningham really went off:
"Shane Morris cannot be going back into this game. This young man looked groggy after that hit. He's being put back on the field. I — he can barely stand up. This is not good player management. We've talked about player safety in this game, guys being hit in the head. This is atrocious to me ... To see No. 7 back in the game after what looked like a concussive hit, this is not good player management, player safety by Michigan."
Morris was later carted off.
