Updated: Michigan hires Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison to fill same role with Wolverines

Updated at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Brady Hoke isn't the only Michigan Man part of the Wolverines' new football staff.

Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator Greg Mattison has been hired as the Wolverines' defensive coordinator, Michigan officials announced Tuesday night.

"Greg loves Michigan, loves recruiting and is excited about coming back to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan,” Hoke said in a statement issued Tuesday. "Greg is one of the top defensive coordinators in football, and his defensive units have always prided themselves on stopping the run. He will be a great asset to our program and an excellent addition to our staff."

Mattison could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Mattison just completed his second season as the Ravens' defensive coordinator. In 2009, the Ravens allowed a league best 3.4 yards per carry and finished the season as the NFL's third-ranked defense.

Donated items from ex-Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez raise $16,200 for the Salvation Army

The average bag of clothing donated to The Salvation Army brings in about $30.

So after former Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez donated a dozen bags of shirts, shorts, jackets and other maize and blue-themed memorabilia from his closet last week, Salvation Army officials knew they weren't dealing with an ordinary donation.

Three days later, Maj. John Aren is trying to wrap his arms around the auction and sale of 432 items that brought in $16,200. That money will help fund an adult rehabilitation center in Romulus.

NOLA.com: LSU athletic director on Les Miles: 'I believe he was offered the job' at Michigan

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva sat down for a question-and-answer session with the New Orleans Times Picayune.

Naturally, the first questions dealt with LSU football coach Les Miles and his level of interest in the recently filled Michigan football coaching job.

Alleva says Miles was upfront about his interest in Michigan, updating him four or five times a day. Why didn't Miles end up at Michigan?

"He was never going to be able to go to Michigan and be Bo Schembechler," Alleva said. "He couldn't be Bo Schembechler. At LSU, he could be Les Miles and leave a heck of a legacy here. In the long run, that's maybe what got to him."

As for whether Michigan, which eventually hired Brady Hoke, offered Miles the job: "Personally, I believe he was offered the job."

Former Michigan assistant football coach Rod Smith reflects on his time in Ann Arbor, Denard Robinson and his role at Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Rod Smith sat in the back corner in the bowels of Assembly Hall early Saturday evening, answering questions about his new role with the Indiana football team, dual-threat quarterbacks and Denard Robinson.

Smith wasn’t sure where he’d be a week ago. He didn’t know if he’d have a job this year after being fired along with the rest of Rich Rodriguez’s staff at Michigan. Yet like other assistants under Rodriguez, it didn’t take the quarterbacks coach long to find a job.

It's been a whilrwind couple days for new Michigan football coach Brady Hoke, who received the job offer of his dreams on Tuesday morning in California and was still shaking hands and receiving ovations on Wednesday night at Crisler Arena.

AnnArbor.com has been following the story around the clock, too. For easier consumption, we present the following compilation of stories, photos and other Hoke-related information currently available on our website.

New Michigan football coach Brady Hoke gets a standing ovation and makes an impression on John Beilein

New Michigan football coach Brady Hoke was warmly welcomed at Crisler Arena.

As soon as Brady Hoke entered Crisler Arena on Wednesday night, a camera crew in tow, the applause started.

Small at first, with a few people standing. Hoke made his way along the right side of the Crisler Arena court and with his new boss, Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon following behind, found his seat in the front row.

When he sat down, the Michigan student section — the Maize Rage — erupted. They chanted ‘Brady Hoke. Brady Hoke. Brady Hoke.’ Officially named as Michigan’s football coach a little over 24 hours earlier and in the Midwest for less than a full day at that point, Hoke looked to the student section.

He pointed with both of his hands as if to say “Thank you” and “I appreciate it.” The students went wild.

That was just the beginning.

For Brady Hoke, recruiting process starts with Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson

Brady Hoke on Denard Robinson: "We have got a special guy in Denard."

How does a mobile, spread-offense quarterback like Denard Robinson look in the pro-style set that Brady Hoke ran at San Diego State?

Apparently, just fine.

Although he didn’t get into specifics Wednesday, Michigan’s new football coach signaled that he’s willing to tailor his offense around the Wolverines’ sophomore standout.

“We understand one thing,” Hoke said during his introductory press conference. “We have got a special guy in Denard. He is a guy that can do an awful lot for your football program.”

Robinson chatted with Hoke for approximately 15 minutes during a luncheon at Michigan Stadium, at which the Wolverines met their new coach for the first time.

They plan to talk again soon.

Brady Hoke lands his dream job as coach of the Michigan football program

Brady Hoke answered the call to be the 19th head football coach in Michigan history.

The phone call Brady Hoke had waited a lifetime for came Tuesday in the early morning.

It went unanswered.

Ignoring a call from the prospective boss at his dream job wasn’t something in his playbook, but the 52-year-old football coach had to do this right. …

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon had completed a five-city, six-day search for a new football coach and reached a decision. Now, if he could only get his guy on the phone.

Brady Hoke brings intensity to rivalry games, especially against 'that school in Ohio'

Michigan football coach Brady Hoke left no question about how he feels about key rivalry games on the Wolverines' schedule.

During his introductory press conference Wednesday, a reporter asked new University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke about his passion for the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry.

First, Hoke smiled. Then, he answered the question with podium-pounding intensity.

“I think that rivalry is special, it’s like none other in football,” the Ohio native said. “Being engaged in that battle for eight years and growing up in the state, you knew Bo and Woody and the great fights they had. It is the most important game on the schedule. Not that the others aren’t important, but it is the most important game on that schedule.”

It’s safe to say Hoke has a healthy knowledge of the importance of The Game. Hoke grew up as a Michigan fan in Ohio because all his friends were Buckeye fans and he wanted to be different, and coached for eight years under Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr in Ann Arbor.

Hoke made his feelings obvious when he refused to directly say “Ohio State” during the press conference, referring to the university as “that university in Ohio” and “that school in Ohio.”

Taylor Lewan woke Wednesday morning not knowing a great deal about Brady Hoke.

Like many of his Michigan football teammates, the offensive lineman knew the new Wolverines coach demanded toughness, evidenced by the stories Lewan had heard from former players such as Jon Jansen.

When Hoke worked as the Wolverines' defensive line coach between 1995 and 2002, he used to stand, protected, behind lineman Glen Steele, delivering verbal shots over the line of scrimmage, trying to goad Jansen and his line mates.

Hoke did so with a purpose, trying to draw out the best in Michigan's offensive front. But he also did so with a smile.

"We're all big kids playing a game," said Jansen, who captained the 1997 national championship team. "(Hoke) is the same way - he made it fun. ... You were going to get your work done, but you were out there to enjoy the sport, and that's what he brings to us."

He stood at the lectern, genuinely excited about getting more than three hours of sleep for the first time in a week.

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon was on the road - five cities in six days, by his count - hunting for the Michigan football team’s new head coach after he fired Rich Rodriguez on Jan. 5.

Brandon declined to be specific about the six-day process that resulted in hiring Brady Hoke away from San Diego State.

A press conference to introduce Brady Hoke as the new University of Michigan football coach became a family reunion Wednesday afternoon as old Blue boosters, players and coaches welcomed one of their own back to Ann Arbor.

And without warning, it turned into a revival meeting, with Hoke bristling at a question about a slumping national reputation for the school’s football team.

“This is Michigan, for God's sake,” he said. “This is Michigan.”
