Brady Hoke has been eliminated from contention, as it was determined there was "no fit between the two sides," according to a Detroit Free Press report. Hoke was considered a favorite for the job by many, thanks to the proximity of CMU to Hoke's former job at Michigan, combined with his reputation as a mid-major fixer-upper. Hoke becomes the third candidate eliminated this week, as Zach Azziani and Matt LeFleur have been considered out of the running.
