He's not dead yet! Woohoo, there is a sports nation poll on weather or not he should have been fired. I say we need to work hard and keep this great man employed

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.

Maybe if you went back to Morgantown and told them you were really sorry -- maybe you and the misses could hold hands and sing I'm Sorry with Connie Francis cranked up all the way...

From the M-Zone, these are cute:

​


Ann Arbor, MI - Michigan fans remained gathered outside Schembechler Hall on Wednesday still waiting for a sign that athletic director Dave Brandon had made a decision regarding the Wolverine head coaching situation.

But the black smoke pouring out of the smoke stack atop Schembechler Hall indicated that Brandon's coaching conclave was continuing. Wednesday marks the 40th day of Brandon's so-called "evaluation" of current coach Rich Rodriguez making it the longest known job review in recorded history.

According to tradition, black smoke above Schembechler Hall indicates a coaching decision has not yet been made; white smoke indicates Rich Rodriguez has been fired; and maize and blue smoke along with streamers and lollipops shooting out of the piping would indicate that Jim Harbaugh is the new Michigan coach.

Meanwhile, after every news outlet in Detroit erroneously announced that he had been fired on Tuesday, Rich Rodriguez celebrated at least one more day on the job by showing off the errant Free Press headline announcing his axing.
