While being introduced as the University of Michigan football coach, Brady Hoke looked out on a room full of current and former players, distinguished alumni and a throng of media members.

Hoke was introduced as the 19th head coach in 131 seasons of Michigan football at Wednesday's press conference. Hoke was the coach the previous two seasons at San Diego State University after spending seven seasons as coach at Ball State University. Hoke has a 46-50 career record in eight seasons.

Hoke spent eight seasons in Ann Arbor as the Wolverines' defensive line coach and was a member of the staff during the 1997 season when Michigan split a national championship with the University of Nebraska.
