Fire Rich Rodriguez - FireRRod.com

Didn't want anyone to forget about that site :p

I have been praising Rich Rod this entire time, saying just give him time, just give him time. Well, I am sick and tired of the just give him time, this is the worst defense that any Michigan coach has ever put on the field, and this is the worst effort that I have ever seen from Michigan players on offense and defense. How can you have a team, with the exception of a few that just seem to not care. Maybe I am just mad, but it doesn't look to get any better from here. At the end of the season it will be time to part ways with the RichRod experiment. Let's hope

As time goes on, the Rich Rodriguez experiment continues to remind me of the Bill Callahan era at Nebraska.

Callahan came into one of the nation's most prestigous programs which had for long run the triple option, and proceeded to install a pro-style scheme, in which it took a year or two to aquire and develop the personel neccessary to run the scheme. In the end, it ended up putting up big points and IIRC finished in the top 15 in the nation in his final year at the helm. RR came into a program that was the "Winningest of All-Time" (Nevermind the obvious fact that a damn good amount of those came before the Great Depression), and threw the status quo out the window by changing the predominantly i-formation school into college football's newest candy, the spread offense. His first year certainly was poor as he had no where near the proper personel to run the offense, although he looks to have brought in some semblance of talent to fit the scheme.

But the biggest area of of coincidence I see between the two is the neglect of defense. Under Callahan, Nebraska's once-famed Blackshirt defense became a laughingstock, and IIRC finished the 100's in his final year in addition to giving up 65 to Colorado. In 2008, Michigan had a terrible defense that surrendered 48 points to a lowly Purdue squad relying on a kid who was the backup QB at the beginning of the year, and in addition failed to bring in any name recruits outside of JT Turner and Will Campbell. RR continues to recruit predominantly on the offensive side of the ball and if he continues to neglect the defense like it appears he is doing not even !!!!BARWIS!!! can save him from suffering the same fate that Callahan did.

Thought probably going through DickRod's mind this morning:

"Fuckin' A. All that extra practice that I mandated and might get fired over and these fuckin' guys still can't play worth shit. I fuckin' yell and scream at these little fucks, and they still do not produce. God damn kids can't execute and my assistants can't coach worth shit either. If everyone would just listen to me when I scream profanity at them we would be undefeated.......

I hope Barwis stops by today and we can work our frustrations out with each other. I better drink some chocolate milk. Fuck."

A very serious development, and the Michigan fans seem to refuse to recognize the significance.

says the usc fan. if this is the alums idea of a smart way to get rid of dickrod... if we've learned anything from the usc farce they should be in a position to fire him in about 6 years.

And to think Lllllloyd wasn't "good" enough or "winning" enough for some (or most?) of your whiny fanbase. This is what happens when the school's AD listens too much to Scout and ESPN message board trolls. :slappy:

I remember all the posts and comments and articles etc about how RRod was going to win the Big 10 in year 2 and a national title in year 3 because his spread offense is going to be too fast and too intense for the fat, slow Big 10. :slappy:

Thank God for Jim Tressel. May he reign over Ohio State football for a long, long time to come!

There just isn't any excuse for firing a coach after only two seasons. You need to let the man develop his system, with his players. You need to let him revise the training regimen to be appropriate for the system and players. You need to let him develop new attitudes, new approaches, and allow him to sweep past failures of the previous coaching regime out the door.



You need to let the Buckeyes have a few more easy wins against his bunch of losers.

The past couple of seasons I have been using the Michigan boards as a form of boredom relief. Always fun for an OSU fan to read either because they were so down or so deluded.

That all changed when they went on their 4-0 run to start the season and fans were booking air fare to the NC game.

Now the fun is back.

Exhibit A:


Michigan Football as we all love and know it...is DEAD.

I could go on and on and on and on with reasons for the problems that this team has. But I will spare myself the typing and you the reading. The bottom line is that Michigan Football is now at the very bottom of the Big Ten and needs to be REBUILT from ground up by a coach that knows what he is doing.

Rich Rod is not that guy. He is a coach who had success in a weak league with a hybrid system once he got a couple NFL level guys to run it. He is not a good adminstrator, is painful out of touch with his defense, is a marginal recruiter and has potential character issues.

Bottom line: This program needs to get back to the BASICS. The TALENT is there for sure. Run, Block, Tackle etc.

fk the "high energy, barwis with an edge, practice with music crap"....get back to MICHIGAN football.

Go Blue!

Saw their Spring Game and I thought that defense looked horrible. Guess that was a correct observation. Lots of high scoring shoot-out games.
The whole team may have already peaked and are on a down slide.

Honestly.. It's amusing to think about what kind of condition their program would be in if Brian Kelly was the coach. They would have had a mediocre season last year probably, but still gone to a bowl. And this year.. My guess is we would be at least mildly concerned about the game. They would without a doubt be bowl eligible and a threat to beat anyone they played.


...But he's not their coach. RR (still an ass) is their coach. And they fuckin' suck.
