Dave Brandon has announced his resignation as the athletic director at the University of Michigan. With the announcement, several former Michigan athletes took to Twitter to express their opinions on the decision, both before and after the official announcement was made.

Here is a look at what some of those former Michigan athletes had to say:

For those 'loyal' UM fans. @DaveBrandonAD and Coach Hoke are not the problem. Unless you've been inside the program, you just don't know

Just sayin it's never good for a university to lose their AD. Maybe we can turn things around. #startfresh #newbeginnings #goblue

Sad to see Dave Brandon step down… Still, forever #GoBlue

If it's true Dave is resigning, I can say personally sad day for me and want to thank him for all he did

Here is a look at some reactions from several national media members:

All the failings of Dave Brandon, almost all of which were minor, would've been fine if he hired a good football coach. It's all about wins.

If Dave Brandon is done, the timing of this may allow for a new AD to be in place to make a coaching hire. Think Texas last year.

Note to next #Michigan AD: Hire a good fball coach; learn something about your students; don't insult e-mailers. Brandon went 0-for-3.

Definitely got sense from high-level Michigan source this week that email reactions were last straw for Brandon. We?ll find out later today.
