As much as I love home I think grundy did a great job

 

[Mitchrapp]

Come on man, its gotta be Hoke hands down.

 

[byco42]

I think it will be Gundy.

 

[TheVictors]

Gundy
Sweeney
Hoke
Miles
Snyder

If there ever is a final vote tally, I'd suspect the breakdown to be as above. Unless you encounter that Heisman-like regional bias and every tool in the SEC footprint votes Miles and the BigTen/midwest comes in hard for Hoke.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oklahoma St. won 11 games last year. I'm not sure that's a COY candidate. Suckness for 3 years and win 10 and a BCS game should rank ahead of what Gundy did.

 

[packersfantheo]

Down to either Hoke or Snyder IMO

 

[Jessica]

HOKE!!!

 

[TheVictors]

Sweeney was a media darling this year for his jumping all around and hooting and hollering and with Clemson being such a surprise, and being named DABO and all. Gundy gets a bit of sympathy for the BCS snub and latitude over loss at Iowa State the day a fellow coach died in a tragic way. Miles had the best team, is doing what he was supposed to with them -- "Phil Jackson syndrome" and Snyder ... well, I just don't think anyone really wants to give COY to a guy who bases his program on JUCO recruiting and shenanigans with already lax admission standards.

HOKE -- well, there are those Rich Rod sympathizers still, who if nothing else would say Hoke won with Rich Rod kids who'd been developing the past two years. Enough of those people, a 2-loss season and a few haters and it would seem Gundy to me.

 

[Michchamp]

I think Hoke deserves it, but Gundy gets it to make up for the snub.

 

[michlady77]

I want it to be hoke but as indicated By others, gundyngetsctgecsymathy

I do think we I'd more than was expected, vat improvement on defense and whole new attitude

ML, you're going to hear before the rest of us, do be sure to clue us in.

I forgot about that....Yet another reason OSU should of been given a chance to play for the title. ISU is no Bama, but they are a fairly decent team. (not trying to jack the thread)

 

[Mitchrapp]

I can't imagine people voting for a guy who got snubbed. How about the votes that didn't think they got snubbed, do they go elsewhere thinking certain voters will pick the snub guy so we'll go away from the snub guy? That made better sense in my head

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

I think taking the worst defense in all college athletics and getting it to a much respected 18th, is all the proof you need.

 

[greenandwhite95]

Hoke, hands down. What he did for UM this year is totally deserving of the award.

 

[redandguilty]

Of course, Hoke winning would reflect on the assistants as much as on him.
