Rich Rodriguez (official thread of last laughs)

[Saw31]

I heard a scUM fan say he guarantees Bill Cowher will be the next Michigan coach.

M*ch*g*n is going to the Super Bowl!!!

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

no worse than Minnesota fans and their delusions of Tony Dungy.

Which Minnesota fans: Vikings or Gophers?

They both are going to be shopping for a coach, and Dungy might be on both lists, even if he has no intention of coming back

I was talking about Gopher fans after their coach was fired

Let's look at the Rich Rod Regime (RRR) by the numbers and you tell me, all of you _ichigan fans with the guts to read this blog with an unbiased eye, where is the hope that he's getting you to the long gone happy days.
We'll keep it simple and just go in the range from zero to 20. Now, _ichigan Fan, you might have to take off your shoes and socks to count that high, but try, please.
0 - Number of losing seasons by _ichigan in the 40 years before the RRR
1 - Wins in each of '08 and '09 against FCS teams
2 - Total number of Big Ten wins at the Big House in the RRR
3 - Losing seasons in the RRR (if they can't fix 2010 before it's too late)
4 - Total number of Big Ten wins by Tressel at the Big House
5 - Longest _ichigan losing streak (accomplished twice and potentially in 2010 as well) during the RRR
6 - Fewest points allowed in the RRR in a single game (twice)
7 - Years since _ichigan beat Ohio State--this is Year 7 (a trend not changed under Rich Rod)
8 - National rank in rushing offense for _ichigan in 2010; counterbalanced by their horrible defense (see No. 14 below)
8.5 - Average offensive scoring against Ohio State in the RRR
9 - Losses to their Big 4 rivals (Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Penn State) in the RRR
10 - Finish in the Big Ten each of the first two years of the RRR
11 - Total defense in the Big Ten in 2010
12 - Major statistical categories in the Big Ten that _ichigan is ranked No. 6 or lower (below the average, in other words)
13 - Number of times the _ichigan defense has surrendered 35 or more points in a game in the RRR
14 - Spots from last place in the FBS in total defense in 2010 (No. 106)
15 - Rich Rod's contract, in millions of dollars, that _ichigan is on the hook for over his 6-year contract
16 - Big Ten losses for _ichigan in the RRR
17 - Approximate gap in points allowed per game between Big Ten leader Ohio State (13+) and Big Ten No. 11, _ichigan (30)
18 - Big Ten wins by Jim Tressel in the RRR
19 - Overall losses in the RRR, in just over 2 and a half seasons
20 - Overall wins by Lloyd Carr in two years (2006, 2007) before the RRR

I heard a scUM fan say he guarantees Bill Cowher will be the next Michigan coach. Has their program reached an all time high of illusion. Or are all their usual illusionists just simply high?

I've heard some that think Jon Gruden and Nick Saban are legitimatley in play.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

2 - Total number of Big Ten wins at the Big House in the RRR
4 - Total number of Big Ten wins by Tressel at the Big House

wow

 

[heisman]

2 - Total number of Big Ten wins at the Big House in the RRR
4 - Total number of Big Ten wins by Tressel at the Big House

wow

JT has 6 Big Ten Championships in 9 opportunities. RR has 4 Big Ten wins in 20 opportunities.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I decided to take it even further:

# of Big Ten wins in Michigan Stadium for current Big Ten Coaches
Jim Tressel - 4
Joe Paterno - 3
Kirk Ferentz - 2
Mark Dantonio - 2
Rich Rodriguez - 2
Danny Hope - 1
Pat Fitzgerald - 1
Ron Zook - 1
Bill Lynch - 0
Bret Bielema - 0
"Minnesota" - 0

Zook and Bielema can add to their totals this year.

woooooooow

It's very funny stuff, isn't it?

Hold the rope. To DickRod's credit all four coaches above him on the list are pretty good coaches. :p

65 Points to Go

I can't take credit for this one, but damn. that's a lot of points.

Michigan fans who compared him to Bo should be shot for sacrilege.

 

[BB73]

Interesting comparison, but those stats were off.

'70 to '79 seasons - 978 total points allowed

Rich Rod Points Against Accumulated
'08 - 347
'09 - 330 (677)
'10 - 240 (917) through 8 games

He actually has 61 points to go to match the 978 points allowed in the 10 seasons from '70 through '79 (not counting the 10 points USC scored in the Rose Bowl on 1-1-1970).

My conclusion: when it comes to matching that decade of points allowed...



So Illinois has a shot?

Yes, but I doubt that it happens in the first half.
