Ochocinco Wants To Coach Michigan

Minutes after reports surfaced that Michigan fired head football coach Brady Hoke, a very outspoken, big-name, athlete said that he'd like to coach the Wolverines.

That player is 6x Pro Bowl WR Chad Johnson aka "Ochocinco" who currently plays for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

Johnson tweeted out and asked if he could be the next head coach at Michigan. He then explained that he would like to coach college kids because the art of route running is lost and needs to return.

While his tweet garnered a ton of attention, it's obviously unrealistic that Johnson will become the next Michigan head coach.

Ironically, former Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez was named the PAC 12 coach of the year on the same day that Michigan fired his successor.

Who would you like to see coach the Wolverines next?
