Reddit reviews Endzone: The Rise, Fall, and Return of Michigan Football

You should read "Endzone." John U. Bacon gives a detailed account of what happened, and it was a real Charlie Foxtrot. Hoke looks much better after this account.

There's a book about him.

He managed to piss off everyone, everyone at Michigan. Which is pretty damn impressive.

1. Students. General admission (and the fighting therein), rising ticket prices, a general "fuck you" demeanor to any of their requests, then adding in "improved cell service" that nobody asked for.
   
   
2. Faculty. He drew quite some ire for handling of MHacks' event at Michigan Stadium. Basically, he quoted MHacks', the faculty/students involved, a certain price for renting out the stadium, and mentioned "incidentals".
   
   The final bill had "incidentals" on the order of tens of thousands of dollars. Surprise!
   
   
3. Lettermen. They were distanced, treated like "hey, thanks for all the money you made for us, hope to never see you again".
   
   
4. His own athletic department. He became known for "firing fridays", where he'd fire all kinds of folk. The way he treated Hoke (especially during the peak of the Morris incident and the way he hung Hoke out to dry), and all the people he had previously fired who might have been of assistance leading up to that incident. Student game managers come to mind, you can ask me for details.
   
   There's some other factors, too.
   
   tl;dr he was an asshole, putting it bluntly

He is the only instructor for the class. He usually teaches it only in the fall, but the class is currently running (W16) because he was on a book tour for Endzone during F15.

If you can get a spot on the waitlist, you can get into the class. Bacon drops anyone who does not attend on the first day. If you show up that day and keep showing up, you'll eventually get a seat. (When I took the class, I met a freshman who got in by doing just that.)
