Michigan hit a low under former coach Brady Hoke last season, going 5-7 and missing a bowl game for the first time since 2009.
Despite pulling in touted recruiting classes, Michigan's win total dropped in each of his four seasons. And though his fate might have already been sealed when Maryland traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, last November and left the Big House with a 23-16 victory, Hoke's hapless clock management against the Terps provided a lasting image of the end of his tenure.
What a difference a year — and a coach — makes.
No.
