Source: U-M's Brady Hoke Gets Multi-Million-Dollar Buyout

Head football coach Brady Hoke has been fired after the University of Michigan Wolverines posted a dismal 5-7 record and failed to get a bowl game bid.

In four seasons as U-M’s head coach, the Wolverines posted a 31-20 record overall and an 18-14 record in the Big Ten.

The Detroit News cited an anonymous source who said Hoke will be paid a $3 million buyout, per his contract. If the university had waited until January to fire Hoke, the buyout would have dropped to $2 million, the newspaper said.

Hoke started strong in his inaugural season with the Wolverines, who went 11-2 and won the Sugar Bowl. But since then, the team’s fortunes have soured.
