Rich Rodriguez first year at Michigan total disaster
To say Rich Rodriguez’s first year at Michigan has been a failure would be a gross understatement. In their 48-42 loss to Purdue on Saturday, Michigan is guaranteed its first losing season since 1967. It also ensured that the Wolverines’ 33-year bowl streak is now over, too.
There’s really no doubt that Rich Rod is going to turn things around at Michigan and get that program back on track soon. He’ll find a quarterback to run his spread option offense and things will start to quickly fall in place. He just needs time to get the right players to fight his scheme and everyone should be patient while he goes through the process.
But there’s no other way to cut it – this season was a total debacle. I realize these young men are learning an entirely new system and will need time to develop, but you can’t lose to Toledo at home. You can’t get beat by Purdue on a hook and ladder on the final play of the game. You can’t turn the ball over six times in an embarrassing loss to Notre Dame.
Rich Rodriguez will turn Michigan around. But they’ve been a total embarrassment this season and an absolute joke.

If he can’t win the Big Ten next year then he must go. He’s been nothing but an embarassment since he arrived in Ann Arbor.
Michigan Fans – please come and vent on my show sometime. NO (soup) BOWL for you !

Send Rodriquez back to West Virginia. They want him we don’t. He’s an embarrasment to th Michigan football program.
I was concerned about Rodriguez coming to U-M but wanted to give him a chance. But after this unbelievable year it is hard to want anything more than to have him removed. And it sounds like there is more badness to come as players continue to bolt out of Ann Arbor (hopefully not to Columbus again).

We don’t want Rodriquez back. His greed and arrogance to go to Michigan before the end of the season cost WVU a shot at the national championship last year. People of WV weren’t upset for his leaving, its the way he did it. He owed his seniors,the entire football team and WV fans 100% of his effort until he made the transition. Maybe never again will he have the talents of Pat White, Steve Slaton and others on the same field. Look at what WV did to Oklahoma last year who was hyped as the “best” team in America! I really doubt that Michigan fans (or Michigan) will be patient enough to wait years for him to recruit a team of that magnitude.
