Michigan football coach Brady Hoke doesn't have a timetable on a Darryl Stonum decision

Hoke, previously a head coach at Ball State and San Diego State, has dealt with legal issues before with players — as have coaches of almost any college program.

This isn’t Stonum’s first offense. In September 2008, he was charged with operating a vehicle while visibly impaired. In July 2010, he spent three nights in jail for probation violations.

“You hope kids learn and hope they learn the first time,” Hoke said. “That’s with anything, like missing a class. We’re talking about two totally different actions but still, you are trying to educate and grow kids and understand that things are unacceptable.”

Stonum said in court Friday he has been waking up at 4 a.m. and doing 1,500 yards in sled pulls and also pulling a 45-pound plate. Hoke said he doesn’t have a timetable for when Stonum will stop the 4 a.m. workouts.

Hoke said he has met with Stonum about the current charge against him. As for Stonum’s future, Hoke was non-committal.

“There will be a lot of elements that I’ll evaluate,” Hoke said.

Asked if he plans on making a decision by the beginning of the 2011 season, Hoke responded, “I don’t know. I don’t know.”

Stonum was Michigan’s second-leading receiver in 2010, catching 49 passes for 633 yards and four touchdowns.
