Not too long after it was made public that Les Miles had turned down the Michigan head coach position and would come back to LSU, where he has been for 6 years, Michigan named a new head coach.

On Tuesday, it was released that Brady Hoke, coach at San Diego State, would be hired as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, making him the 19th head coach in the 131 years the football program has been in existence.

The athletic director of Michigan said in a statement, “We are pleased to announce the hiring of Brady. He is a terrific coach and will be a great ambassador and leader for our football program. We look forward to having him build a championship program on the field and in the classroom.”

Hoke was once an assistant coach at Michigan, but has been at Ball State and San Diego State for the past eight years in the head coaching position. Following San Diego State’s 9-4 season, Hoke was bestowed with the coach of the year honor in the Mountain West conference.

On Wednesday, at 1 p.m. ET, Michigan will hold a press conference to introduce Hoke.

Hoke will take over for Rich Rodriguez who was fired as head coach of the Wolverines a week ago after only his third year of a six-year contract. Rodriguez was unable to coach the team to a victory over rivals Michigan State or Ohio State in any of his seasons and finished a disappointing 15-22 during that time.
