Brady Hoke no longer a candidate at Central Michigan



FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2014, file photo, Michigan head coach Brady Hoke looks on before an NCAA college football game against Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J. A person with knowledge of the situation says embattled Michigan football coach Brady Hoke and interim athletic director Jim Hackett are set to meet on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school has not made any announcement about the meeting.(AP Photo/Rich Schultz, File) Those hoping to see Brady Hoke roaming a college sideline during the 2015 season might be out of luck.


Hoke was in talks with Central Michigan about its head coaching vacancy, but is no longer considered a candidate because, as Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press put it, it was not a fit between the two sides.”


Central Michigan found itself unexpectedly looking for a head coach after Dan Enos left to become the offensive coordinator at Arkansas on Jan. 22.


Hoke spent the past four seasons as the head coach at Michigan before being fired on Dec. 2.


Hoke would have been a catch for the Chippewas because of his background and success in the Mid-American Conference. Hoke was a Western Michigan and Toledo assistant in 1984-88 and Ball State's coach in 2003-08. He led Ball State to a 12-1 season in 2008.


Hoke will try his hand at broadcasting next week when he works with CBS Sports Network on National Signing Day.
