I have got to say that some scUM fans really do not pay any attention what so ever to the world at large.

I know it is a crap site, but this is a quote from a scUMmer on MLive in a thread discussing the best coaches in the Big Ten right now:

Re: POLL: by nicvanexel, 1/12/10 Most bowl wins, most all time wins, back to back top 10 seasons. Him or Tressel are the best. Tressel gets a slight advantage in recruiting because he recruits the thugs, PSU and UofM for that matter do not.

Justin Feagin deals coke, but it's JT that's recruiting thugs. :rofl:

There is a reason why most people on this site think Michigan fans are stupid.

It is because they are stupid.

RR will need outstanding negotiations to make TN happen. Section 4.04(a) of his UM contract (page 9) calls for RR to pay UM $4 million if he terminates his contract with UM in contract year 3 which ends 12/31/2010. RR has a home and mortgage in WV, a home and mortgage in AA, and would have another home and mortgage in TN. He still owes WVU $1.5 million, and would be required to pay UM $4 million. This is not going to happen without divine intervention.

Whew. Thank God.

This is already one of the most fascinating chain reaction coaching change sequences I can recall. RR moving would put it over the top.

On the one hand I am not ready to let him go - certainly not after already losing CW.

But in the short term it is a disaster for UM. Who do you hire at this late date to save a recruiting class that is built around an approach that is not a good fit at UM? And this would be a hire that UM needs to take its time on - not rush into.

Then there is the topic of buy outs and how much you can get back of the 4 mill already spent on a coach who has delivered two atrocious seasons. The Kiffin disaster at UT wouldn't hold a candle to this fiasco.

And how would the UT recruits feel about a coach who chased away half the players from his new team only two years ago? Is there room for Bryce Brown in the RR read option?

But the most important questions is - would he take Barwis with him?


All that said, it is a logical move for RR and would not surprise me.

That's a very literal interpretation of the contract, but it is not a real world analysis. Rodriguez is a season away from being fired, which would mean Michigan would have to pay a significant buyout to Rodriguez. If Tennessee were crazy enough to actually want Rodriguez, I guarantee you Michigan would be willing to bargain him away for less that the contractual buyout. Rodriguez's futility would actually serve as leverage for himself, which is sad.
