University of Michigan Head Coach Brady Hoke Named Big Ten Coach of the Year

University of Michigan head coach Brady Hoke has been voted Big Ten Coach of the Year by the media and his fellow coaches, according to a tweet from Wolverine’s official Twitter account.

In his first year with Michigan, Hoke led his team to a 10-2 finish, including a 6-2 record in the Big Ten. He also helped coach the Wolverines to their first victory over arch-rival Ohio State University since 2002. The team finished the season ranked No. 17 overall in the AP Poll.

Last year, Michigan finished the season 7-5 after beginning the season 5-0. The late season collapse, which was capped by a 7-37 loss to Ohio State, ultimately led to the firing of then head coach Rich Rodriguez.
