An apropos pony picture, since it looks like it has hairplugs. At the very least, its a headbangin' 80s pony with a fondness for polyester leopard prints.

Great input. Not enough known about the RR particulars to make a clear call, but it certainly sounds like the potential is there for a failure to monitor.

So you play the AD role:

You have a coach under contract for a lot of money, much of which you still have to pay if you let him go.

That coach has been a colossal failure, but there are arguments to give him time to put in his system. And if you don't give him time you have to retrace your steps to get back to where you were.

However, you are getting an earful from the alumni that they are not fond of this guy on or off the field. These alumni not only help fund your football program, they contribute heavily to the university itself. So it is not entirely your call and you are getting serious heat.

You have a potential infraction on your hands.

You can:

A. Fight like hell to be found innocent and stand behind your coach even if the hammer does come down. Bet that RR really can lead you to the promised land and take the risk that a year from now you may still be riding a losing horse and have lost your chance to get out of jail free. And do this knowing that in a year or two you may fire him anyhow, to the laughter and derision of the press and alumni.

or

B. When the NCAA comes knocking present the "facts" in a light that encourages the identification of an infraction minor enough to not seriously hurt your program, but substantial enough to justify nullifying RR's contract. (If you are talking failure to monitor it seems pretty easy to make the case that you have not done so.) Cut your losses, make the alumni happy, and start the painful process of undoing the damage.

Not conspiracy theory - just good business.

As mentioned earlier, the timing on this is interesting. The powers that be at UM may be rooting for OSU this weekend as well. If you are leaning towards option B a win over the Buckeyes would only muddy the waters.

You forgot Option C:

C. You realize you've already resigned and are a lame duck, so you decide this crap's really not your problem anymore. Thus, you assign one of the Assitant AD's to handle the NCAA (ie, stall the dang thing) and you stay out of the way 'till next Sept., when it's fishin' time for you!!

:tongue2:

We've been saying this from day 1. The longer he stays the longer the rebuild job will be for the next guy when he inherits 85 oompa loompa's. Not everyone in the scUM program is as dumb as Martin, I'm sure many see this and don't want to see RR be the gift that keeps on giving for near a decade.

I agree that its only good business to play a "get out of paying a massive contract for an even more massive mistake" card when you get lucky enough to be handed one.

He gets another curb stomping in The Game and they get an excuse to void the contract it will be very interesting.

you know what's really funny? there's probably a coach out there that could take over at the end of the season and win at least 7 or 8 games in spite of their lack of talent. and those retards are content with this hill jack.

Thats my fear, eventually all good things must come to an end. scUM, ND (or both) could actually end up with competent coaches soon. :(

No. I mean....it's not like either program is competent enough to actually find the guy. It's just funny to me that he's out there somewhere. He could take this circus and turn it into a winning program over night. But both programs are too worthless to find him.

Good article by Jardy contrasting the two coaches... RR wishes folks would stop asking him if he gets the rivalry, because everyone does. He finds it amusing.

Not just 'everyone' at UM or OSU. 'Everyone' in college football. yikes.

Well, of course he gets it. He prepares for every game, whether it's Delaware State or Ohio State... they're all important. :roll2:

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.

Fuck you ya' hairplugged redneck fuck...

and NO, you DO NOT get it. Your not from either state, you have no ties to either state. Quite simply put, your an outsider trying to blend in, it ain't gonna happen.

Go sing Country Road and hunt some rabbits you jackass.
