ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Brady Hoke is out after four years at Michigan.A person close to Hoke familiar with the situation confirmed the move to The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school had not announced it ahead of a late afternoon news conference.Hoke did not return a message left seeking comment.Hired after the tumultuous tenure of Rich Rodriguez, Hoke was supposed to help Michigan regain its place among college football's elite, and his familiarity with the program's culture and tradition — he was a former Wolverines assistant — made the initial transition a successful one.But after going to the Sugar Bowl in Hoke's first season, the Wolverines slowly slipped back into mediocrity and are not even among the top teams in the Big Ten. Hoke was 31-20 as the Wolverines' coach after the team floundered to a 5-7 record this season and missed out on bowl eligibility along with Big Ten also-rans Indiana, Purdue and Northwestern.The last two seasons were characterized by poor play on the offensive line that caused the entire offense to bog down — ironic since Hoke's arrival was supposed to mean a return to smash-mouth football after three years of Rodriguez's spread system.Hoke also stumbled in September 2014 when quarterback Shane Morris kept playing despite receiving what was later determined to be a concussion, appearing somewhat disconnected with how to handle injured players.
