Looked very pretty from back here, but yeah, Brady Hoke is an idiot.

Morris was on the ground facefirst briefly and after getting up, he had to grab onto right tackle Ben Braden to steady himself. He then detached himself from Braden and waved off anyone who wanted to help him. He stayed in the game and threw incomplete to Funchess.Hoke said it was his decision to leave Morris in after the hit.

"I don't know if he might have had a concussion or not, I don't know that
," Hoke said. "Shane's a pretty competitive, tough kid. Shane wanted to be the quarterback. If he didn't want to be, he would have come to the sideline or stayed down."


Hoke was asked after the game if he had seen Morris wobble after he got up following that hit.

"I did not. I didn't see it," Hoke said. "I can only answer for me."

This is the kind of thing I don't like about some coaches. Of course the kid isn't going to bow out of the game by telling the coach he just can't take any more. It's the responsibility of the coach to protect the players from themselves.
 

They said on the broadcast that Morris didn't have a concussion because he would have passed the "tests" on the sidelines. That's why he went back in. Suspicious then that they didn't even check him. This makes it sound like they didn't.
