ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) — Michigan has picked Brady Hoke as its new football coach.

Athletic director Dave Brandon announced the decision Tuesday, hours after LSU said Les Miles would be staying with the Tigers.

Hoke coached San Diego State in 2009-10 and was the Ball State coach from 2003-08. He will be introduced at a news conference in Ann Arbor on Wednesday.

He replaces Rich Rodriguez, who was fired last week after three disappointing seasons.
