Brady Hoke says he's not thinking about next year at Michigan (Video)
Brady Hoke was on the Dan Patrick Show on Friday and said he's focused on the present.
Patrick asked him if he's received assurances that he'll be Michigan's coach in 2015. Hoke said he's not worrying about the future. As Michigan is 2-4 and the school awkwardly handled Shane Morris' injury situation, Hoke's job status has been in question.
“I don’t even think about that,” Hoke said. “Because if you get distracted and all that kind of stuff — we’re humbled to be here, we love being here, this is the greatest institution in the country and I can tell you, we’re just focused in on those 115 sons. Those are the guys that we’ve got to make sure we’re doing our work as coaches for those guys."
Patrick also asked Hoke if there was anything that wasn't known about the Morris situation. Morris was wobbled after taking a hit to the chin against Minnesota and re-entered the game after he came out a play after the hit. Following the game on Sunday, Hoke said he was confident the proper medical decisions were made regarding Morris and on the Monday after the game, defended the way that Morris' injuries were handled. The next day, Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon issued a statement saying that Morris had been diagnosed with a probable, mild concussion and that there was "a serious lack of communication that led to confusion on the sideline."
"No, not really," Hoke said Friday. "I think everything — I know there were a couple of different statements that came out. Everybody pretty much understands where we’ve got to be better. And that’s the one thing about Michigan; we’re not going to hide from it. And we’re going to fix the problems that may be there."
