oldschooler Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 [b]Rich Rodriguez Fired as Michigan's Head Football Coach[/b] Published : Tuesday, 04 Jan 2011, 2:24 PM EST myFOXdetroit.com Staff - Sources tell Fox 2 that Rich Rodriguez was fired as head coach of the University of Michigan football team Tuesday. The decision came just three days after his team suffered the worst bowl loss in school history, a 52-14 trouncing at the hands of Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. Rodriguez was 15-22 during three seasons in Ann Arbor. He lost a school-record nine games in his debut with the Wolverines two years ago, was 5-7 after starting 4-0 last season and turned a 5-0 start into a 7-5 finish this fall. The Wolverines were also 1-10 against ranked teams and were 0-3 against rivals Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin during Rodriguezs tenure. Athletic Director David Brandon would not immediately name a replacement. Rumors have swirled that Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, a former Wolverine quarterback, and San Diego States Brady Hoke, a former U-M coach, are on the list of possible candidates. Reports Tuesday said Harbaughs return to Michigan, however, is highly unlikely. He is reportedly deciding on staying at Stanford or pursuing a heading coaching position in the NFL.

Wouldn't mind Les Miles going there... he sucks as a coach... just a good recruiter... Harbaugh coming to that shit hole scares me a little... Hopefully the reports of him only taking an NFL job if he leaves are true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] as an OSU fan I wouldn't like it, but as a Big Ten fan I think its what's best for the league. The biggest problem with the Big Ten right now is a lack of quality head coaches. That's why they're getting beat in big games against other conferences, and they're getting beat in recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sois Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Leach is 10x the coach DickRod is. How many losing seasons has Leach ever had? Zero. That's right, he's a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 He was actually fired now. Also, I don't care who they bring in, it will take awhile to rebuild. Rich Rod has been recruiting players for his system. It was a specialized system. I see a lot of his players transfering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I am surprised they did not give him one more year just for that reason. I cannot see Robinson doing much in another system.

Bengals1181 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Robinson's a good enough passer that he could suffice as a bridge guy in another system for a year. If not, he's a shoe in as a slot WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Sources say Les Miles will take the job if offered it. As an OSU fan, I've quite enjoyed our dominance. However, for the Big Ten as a whole I think the addition of Miles, and Nebraska, will be great for the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
