He's saying that Wilson developed a lot of solid players from a talent pool that was no where near Ohio State's..I'm really confused. You're down on Wilson because he didn't recruit OSU level talent to Indiana?

None of which were big-time recruits. Furthers the point that Wilson can evaluate/develop talent. Let him unleash his vision with 4 and 5* as opposed to 2 and 3* kids...
I'm taking a nap. Can someone wake me up in august?That's why I can't wait for next year. The national media is sleeping big time on us because of the Clemson game, with no idea of just how major this hire was. Wilson has all the talent w/experience he can ask for to work with

I don't think you'll wanna miss the spring game
Just so we can bitch about how bad the defense became over the off season?
To be clear: The original post was to contrast the current offense, and the cluster it is, versus what we are hoping for in the spring under Wilson. Should the offense turn the corner as we hope, in Spring, the Defense would look very different from what they would look like were they to play Ed/Beck V3.0.Nah, spring is the time for optimism and unrealistic expectations. The first bad play of the regular season is when we start bitching

Looks like there has been a lot of misinformation in this thread.
I think Rich is a great hire for several reasons.
One reason is that he's going to completely revamp the Michigan strength and conditioning program. That is a HUGE thing that cannot be overlooked.
Michigan has the personnel to run the spread in year one. Even if Manningham leaves (which looks likely) there is still enough talent at receiver to run a spread. Adrian Arrington is a fabulous receiver, Greg Mathews is a very good receiver himself. Junior Hemingway, Toney Clemons, and Darryl Stonum are all very talented young receivers. The talent at tight end is also very good with Carson Butler, Martell Webb, Kevin Koger, and Brandon Moore.
As far as Mallett goes, he ran the spread in high school at Texas High. The kid looked more comfortable this year when Michigan had him in the gun and had 4 WR sets. He looked very awkward under-center and muffed, I don't know, 11 or 12 snaps on the year.
As far as Rodriguez' system goes, it's adaptable to the players. PERIOD. Anybody who says otherwise obviously doesn't have a clue. At Glenville State he threw the ball 50-60 times a game. He had a receiver that caught 154 balls in a single season. As the offensive co-ordinator and QB's coach at Tulane he had Shaun King who lead the NCAA in passing efficiency, threw for 3,600 yards and 38 touchdown passes against only 6 interceptions.
Rodriguez is a true innovator on offense. Urban Meyer bases most of his offensive philosophy on Rodriguez. Ask Urban what he thinks of Rich.
Great hire for Michigan. The best realistic hire they could've made period, because Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer were not going to leave their respective cushy situations.
Watching the past few Indiana-Ohio State games from an Indiana perspective has me both frustrated and excited.
Their offense is always in good positions or the proper call. But holy smokes their talent was severely lacking.
