Michigan offensive coordinator has been fired.

Michigan coach Brady Hoke, coming off a 7-6 record in his third season as head coach, has made a significant change to his offensive staff.

Offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Al Borges, who came to Michigan in 2011 with Hoke from San Diego State, was fired Wednesday. Hoke met individually with members of the offensive coaching staff Wednesday afternoon, a source said, and informed Borges at the meeting.

“Decisions like these are never easy,” Hoke said in a statement. “I have a great amount of respect for Al as a football coach and more importantly as a person. I appreciate everything he has done for Michigan football these past three seasons.”

The move comes about a month after Hoke told reporters he anticipated his staff would return intact for the 2014 season. At the time, he added he would evaluate the team before and after the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Michigan lost to Kansas State, 31-14, gained 261 yards of offense and was 4-of-11 on third down. Michigan’s running backs rushed for 13 yards in that game.

I wonder if we'll ever be at the level where the alumni demand changes after a 7 win season.
 


And they just hired the OC from Alabama. Poop.

The D coordinator (Greg Mattison) didn't exactly light it up at Michigan this year, either. I actually thought Mattison would be the first casualty in Ann Arbor. I would be willing to bet if Hoke goes 0-2 vs. Michigan State/Ohio State next season (both on the road), he's next in line.

Michigan's D was not bad, not lock down D but not bad, an above average D compared to the rest of the conference
 

Mattison is a good coach, if you get to the point you have to fire both coordinbators, the head guy should go as well.

We fired Mason after a 6 win season. I think Kill will have us in a spot where 7 win seasons are black eyes sooner rather than later.

In addition, Brew was on the hot seat after 7 wins followed by 6 wins. Obviously, the actual firing was a little different because year 4 was CLEARLY headed towards dumpster fire status by the time he was canned, but still - his job was anything but stable following year 3
