Mind you, on the one-trick pony thing, I'm thinking that RichRod probably is quite fond of ponies...

Please don't let the rumors be true. I know he has to go, but not yet. It will take at least two more years for me to get bored with this thread. It would be like canceling my favorite Soap Opera. We need to catch him cheating on his wife. Then find out that he used to be a woman. Get him hooked on pain pills and find kiddie porn in his locker.

I know he doesn't have udders, but I really want to milk this guy.

Quotes from mgoblog re: dickrod's presser...

Made D changes, guys played pretty well. Looking for the right combination. Defense maybe moved slower than he thought it might. Last year's team had more experience defensively. Knew we were going to be inexperienced. They might make personnel moves from offense to defense in the offseason. In next couple recruiting classes, add talent on defense.
Oh, DickRod. Keep doing ehat you're doing. You're making us all look like clairvoyents. :lol:

"Legends are made in the Michigan-Ohio State game." Good feel for the rivalry. Doesn't take long to understand it. Don't have to coach or play here to get the intensity of it. What will it take to turn the rivalry around? Having a better team than the opponent. Emotion and passion will carry the team a little bit. The more experienced team (OSU) will be able to stem a tide of emotion. Use the big rivalry factor to help guys focus on preparation during the game. Win over OSU means something special especially for the seniors. Team has overcome a little adversity, that would be important for them. Try to accentuate the positives this week. It's an easy game to get them excited for. Our guys know it's a big challenge. You always have a chance. We have to play really well. Maybe they'll make a few mistakes.
I'm sure that makes the current team feel great. And that's gonna be a while richie.

Hasn't heard from past Michigan coaches about the rivalry. He doesn't need to be lectured on the importance of the rivalry. He gets it. Just because he's not from Michigan doesn't mean he doesn't get it. Everyone gets it. He coaches as hard as he can in every game. Ohio State is just a whole lot more important. College football has the most intense rivalries, none more important than M-OSU. '69 team was one of the best M-OSU games. They'll be honorary captains for the game.
See! He gets it!

A couple things different: Senior week. Practice won't be much different. There will be more in team meetings about the importance of the game, etc. Permanent team captains will be voted on this week.
Permanent? For one game?

All coaches hate to lose. It eats at your soul. "I don't coach football, I live it." He loves what we're doing, so it eats at you to be unsuccessful. He's not used to losing, so it pretty much sucks. Each day is a new opportunity. This year or last year was the most emotionally taxing in his career. We've all fought through this thing together, and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. When the young guys lift weights, practice, etc., you can see that we're going to be back there. He likes winning too much to not evaluate everything the team does. If adjustments need to be made, they'll do it. Some of the problems are going to take longer to fix. "I feel very good about our staff." Good coaches, family men, recruiters. Scheme and stuff will be where the changes come. Personnel-wise it's tough to overcome. The players know how competitive the coaches are. As long as they're giving their best effort, that's all the coach can ask. This is a good group to coach.
You really suck at living.

Comparing leagues to leagues is misinformed, there's no reason that a different style of football can't be played in the Big Ten. Every league has a variety of styles, etc. Coaching the pro-style to fit the talent. Our guys that started on offense last year hadn't played in any system yet. No mattter what system you ran, they hadn't played in it. Same with defense this year. Need to recruit guys who can play at the highest level, but experience is a big player too.
Yeah, because the style of play and calibre of defenses is soooooooo similar. :roll1:

This guy is awesome. Best coach ever. :banger:

"Just because I did not coach here before, I did not play here, I'm not from the state of Michigan does not mean I don't understand the rivalry. I understand the rivalry as well as any coach could possibly understand it. I've only played in it in one game. Trust me, I understand the importance for the rivalry. I understand it from before I took the job, I understand it after I took the job. I understand the importance of it. You coach as hard as you can. I'm going to give you a news flash here, I'm going to coach as hard as I can in every game I play, whether I'm playing Delaware State or Ohio State. It's just that Ohio State is a lot more important to a lot more folks, and I understand it. Trust me. I understand the importance of each game."
-Dick Rod

sounds like the CEO of Bear Stearns saying that his bank has plenty of capital two days before going bankrupt. i think he is trying to talk himself into believing that he gives a [censored] about this game.

my favorite was this quote
"I've said this 100 times: The first day I got the job, somebody gave me a 'Beat Ohio State' button, and I still have it on my desk."

So, since he has a button that means he understands. Ha!

Interesting...translation: He doesn't give a shit, a W is a number in the left column, an L in the right column, but the rivalry means more to MOST OTHER PEOPLE. That he gets. It just doesn't matter that much to him.

Fuck this fucking fucker. Newsflash noodledick, your W against Deleware State does not count for jack dick when you're getting used like the only outhouse at a Mississippi toolshed convention by everyone in your conference and getting apefucked like a porn star with a beer can by your school's major rival.
