Michigan (1). Things started wretchedly enough on the field – a 2-4 stagger through the first half of the season that included a torrent of turnovers and the same general offensive malaise that plagued last year’s team (and led to the hiring of a high-priced new coordinator). Then the other issues kicked in – coach Brady Hoke was strongly questioned on-air during the loss to Minnesota about keeping quarterback Shane Morris in when he appeared to be knocked silly and limping badly. That situation got worse in the following days, commensurate with Hoke’s sorry answers on the issue, and ultimately led to a 1 a.m. statement release by athletic director Dave Brandon and an apology from the school president for mishandling Morris’ health. After that came the planted stake at Spartan Stadium, which gave Michigan State one more reason to run up the score on the Wolverines in a 35-11 loss. And the publishing of snotty emails from Brandon to unhappy fans. And then Brandon was forced to resign. Now, this week, with the Wolverines riding a meager two-game winning streak, came the arrest and rapid dismissal of defensive end Frank Clark – the team leader in tackles for loss – after a domestic dispute with his girlfriend in an Ohio hotel. Two years ago, Hoke suspended Clark all of one game for felony theft of a laptop from a dorm room. The inevitable final act in this epically disastrous season should come in two weeks, when Hoke is fired. The only thing that could be worse would be keeping him.
