Brady Hoke likely won’t be fired until 2015 begins

By

Lane Kiffin, as much an anybody, probably embodies the notion of "failing upward." In both college football and sports in general. You know what "failing upward" is. For further clarification...look at the CV of George W. Bush. No one embodies "failing upward" more than Bush 43.  Brady Hoke seems to fly under the radar on this topic.
