"Brady Patrick Hoke" is an American football coach. He is the former head football coach of the Michigan Wolverines football/Michigan Wolverines. He grew up in Ohio and attended Ball State University where he played linebacker from 1977 to 1980. He began his coaching career in 1982 and held assistant coaching positions at Grand Valley State Lakers football/Grand Valley State (1983), Western Michigan Broncos football/Western Michigan (1984–1986), Toledo Rockets football/Toledo (1987–1989), Oregon State Beavers football/Oregon State (1989–1994) and Michigan (1995–2002).

Hoke left his assistant coaching position at Michigan in December 2002 to become the head football coach at his alma mater, Ball State. In six years at Ball State, Hoke was credited with turning around the football program. In 2008, he led the Ball State football team to a 12–1 record and the first appearance in the Associated Press Top 25 (peaking at No. 12) in school history. In December 2008, Hoke was hired as the head football coach at San Diego State University. He led the 2010 San Diego State Aztecs football team to the school's first nine-win season since 1971 and a victory over 2010 Navy Midshipmen football team/Navy in the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl.

Bostic is a guy we have to give more (opportunities), I can tell you that. He has to get in there on our four-wide sets on more of a regular basis. Larry Bostic is a football player, and he will get more touches.

We didn't change anything. I'm not going to talk about it. It's not my job. It's about this game today.

Their offense makes you tired, but when you're not mentally tough you don't focus and do the things you have to do to win. We had them on the run. On that third-down play, the safety has to get some depth, get off the hash (mark). That's basic football.

Charles Wynn ran the ball really well, but Charles did most of that (himself).

It's about the game here today. The 13 players, that's not my job. We didn't do anything different today.

We thought Charles gave us the best opportunity to run the ball, and that's what we went with.

He was really recruited by the other staff. But he had made a commitment and this was where he really wanted to go to school. We're glad he kept to that commitment. He's been a bright spot in that class. He came in here as a true freshman and beat out a fifth-year senior.

We'd like to score more touchdowns. But as a team we feel very confident when we get in (a field goal) situation that he's going to go out there and follow through and try to help his team win.

We had poor coverage and they took advantage of it. It was downhill from there.
