Don't be dweeby. Not sure the feed is legit, but if it is, abuse in the comments would be pretty classless.

Four Big-Name Coaches Who'll Get One More Chance If They Don't Rock in 2009. One More.

Rich Rodriguez, Michigan

In the be careful for what you wish for department, there was a segment of the Michigan fan base that couldn't wait to see Lloyd Carr move on. Going to the Rose Bowl and winning Big Ten title games were nice, but year after year of not being in the national title hunt, after winning it all in 1997, started to wear a bit thin for some. Even with the huge 2006 season, when the Wolverines were this close from being in the national title, all the warm and fuzzy feelings went bye-bye with a Rose Bowl loss to USC. The idea was that the button-down program needed to undergo a philosophical change, within reason, or at least needed some new blood. Greg Schiano said no and Les Miles couldn't take the job he so desperately wanted because he had a little thing called the national championship getting in his way, but Rich Rodriguez was hardly a booby prize. Remember, RichRod had West Virginia a healthy Pat White away from playing for the 2007 national title (which, oddly enough, might have meant the timing would've worked out for Miles to be even more in the mix for the Michigan job since it would've been a West Virginia - Ohio State BCS Championship), and also remember that Michigan needed to undergo a major personnel face-lift.


Everyone knew that the pieces weren't in place for the Wolverines to be great last year, but no one saw a 3-9 disaster complete with a loss to Toledo and a 42-7 embarrassment at Ohio State.


Rodriguez needs to show that the program is on the right track, and a fantastic recruiting class was a good start. A winning season would be better.

Could be a lot worse next year.

42-7 might feel like a walk in the park compared to what this year's Ohio State squad might be able to do to that team.

I've said it before: I watched UM quite a bit last year and that was the worst excuse for a DI team that I've ever seen.

Quite honestly I don't know how they won 3 games. Bret Bielema should have been fired on the spot after Wisconsin lost that game.
