How long will Hoke and Brandon last?

[WANG]

With the protests and mounting pressure, how much time do these two turds have left?

Hoke at the end of the season - Brandon isn't going anywhere.

[WANG]

Interesting, you think Brandon gets through this unscathed?

Brandon gets credit for the basketball success to offset the football failures. I think he survives. Brady will be fired after he loses to Ohio State again.

Both at the end. Football is the main sport and neither one will survive.

I totally get the desire for them to fire Hoke. The team has gotten worse each year, so it's probably time for a change. I don't see Hoke being able to spend a lustrum in his position.

But why the desire to fire the AD? Is it just because he hasn't fired Hoke yet? Hoops team won the conference last year and made the Elite Eight, so it's not like all their sports are struggling (although I don't really keep up with those other than football and basketball).

Maybe if you start calling for the AD to be fired that speeds up firing the coach, but it seems like a bass ackwards way to go about it.

It's due to his horrible handling of the football program, jacking up ticket prices, alienating students, dumb attempts to reinvigorate attendance (which dropped due to his stupid actions) and most importantly HIRING BRADY HOKE.

Success in is great, but that is not the main revenue sport for scUM, additionally he didn't do anything to aide in that success. Belein was there when Brandon got in, Hoke was all Brandon though.

I think Hoke survives until the day after The Game. Brandon will probably "retire" effective Jan 1.

This seems like the most likely.

All depends on this concussion thing. I think the Hoke getting canned after THE GAME and Brandon in January makes the most sense, but if this story continues to gain legs and it looks bad, I could see them both getting canned sooner.
