The University of Michigan has given Rich Rodriguez his marching orders in a rare coaching change that we at the Blog can endorse. Michigan, if you remember, forced Lloyd Carr out 3 years ago, thinking that his day had come and gone (albeit Lloyd did lose to Appalachian State that year, at home). The only problem was that Michigan would be MILES (not Les Miles. Well, maybe Les Miles) ahead had they kept Carr around or not botched the attempted prying of Les Miles away from LSU.
So what now? Les Miles seems like the guy (Jim Harbaugh isn't gonna happen, people!) or they go get a Tressell type from a smaller school (the guy at San Diego State is rumored). Can't wait to see how this one unfolds.
It is amazing to see the coached who lose their jobs and the idiots who keep their jobs. But this one is right on the money. He belongs at a state school who lets any thug off the street into the school...
ReplyDeleteWhat are they waiting for. Last night I thought this story would be a done deal. He is still there and Michigan denied firing him.. My guess if they can't get Harbaugh they might keep Rrod for one more year.
ReplyDeleteTurns out you just had to wait a couple more hours. I think the Athletic Director was genuinely pissed that someone in his department stole his thunder yesterday and leaked that the guy was shit canned. So he responded by saying that he hadn't. Only to fire him the very next morning. Awesome. Nothing like a dysfunctional athletic department.
