Michigan fires former Ball State football head coach Brady Hoke.

The University of Michigan fired former Ball State football head coach Brady Hoke Tuesday.

Hoke coached the Wolverines from 2011 through 2014, finishing with a record of 78-70.

“When you make a decision to change somebody’s life, you better take the time to think about it,” Michigan interim athletic director Jim Hackett said. “In this case, I did take the time. I was very deliberate about it.”

Prior to coaching at Michigan, Hoke led Ball State to a 34-38 record from 2003-08. In Hoke’s final year, the Cardinals went 12-0 during the regular season, the only perfect regular season in program history.

Hoke is owed a $3 million buyout from Michigan according to ESPN.com.
