We’ve now passed the 48-hour mark since Michgigan’s 42-28 loss to Ohio State, and Brady Hoke is still employed.
But that could change before the 72-hour mark passes.
According to Sam Webb of GoBlueWolverine.com, Hoke will meet with interim athletics director Jim Hackett on Tuesday afternoon.

Webb also tweeted that a decision should be expected at that time.
Decision on Hoke’s future as coach is expected to be delivered to him at that time

One would think that if you’re going to fire a coach, doing it right before a team meeting would make logical sense. Nebraska athletics director Shawn Eichorst reminded us yesterday that is a piece of news that should be handled in the most delicate of ways.
Hoke said Saturday he plans to return in 2015. We could know for sure one way or the other tomorrow.
Hoke is 31-20 in four seasons as Michigan’s coach, and posted a 5-7 mark this fall.
