Brady Hoke Hired By Michigan: What Is Denard Robinson's Future As a Wolverine?

Denard Robinson offered no comment about his future after Rich Rodriguez was fired last week.  Since then, he's still been silent.

Brady Hoke's primary task will be to keep Robinson at Michigan, and it will take convincing to do so.  Recruited by Rodriguez as a dual-threat QB, Robinson might have a hard time fitting into Hoke's pro-style system.

It's likely that Hoke won't utilize a dual-threat QB, and Robinson has made it very clear that he wants to play the QB position.  There are plenty of schools—most prominently Auburn and Oregon this year—that take advantage of dual-threat quarterbacks, and the thoughts of transferring (he has two years of eligibility left) must be racing.

Convert to a wide receiver?  A running back?

No.

Denard wants to tear up as a QB, and he came to Ann Arbor specifically to run Rodriguez's offense.  Take away that offense, and you remove the very core reason that Denard picked a struggling Michigan program over Florida, Georgia, etc.—all of whom wanted Robinson as a defensive back or a receiver.

With the way it has rained and poured on the program over the past few years, don't expect Denard's situation to be any different.  He's likely going to bolt out of the program. 

Where he'll end up is far too much speculation at this point, considering Hoke hasn't even met or talked to Robinson, but Wolverine fans, don't get your hopes up.
