Rich Rodriguez (official thread of last laughs)

Sad, sad news. Although Rich was a self-righteous, self-indulgent, conniving joke of a coach that I grew to hate, I found that he fit the title of Michigan head coach very well. He always gave us a great chance to win, and always seemed more concerned with drawing up flashy and finesse offensive plays rather than focusing on the team as a whole. Man, he was a dime a dozen. Although I'd like to see the rivalry be competitive again, a big part of me wants Michigan to hire Josh McDaniels or some other self-indulgent, offense-first punk to take over and continue the demise of scUM.

Maisel goes off on scUM:

Rich Rodriguez came to Michigan three years ago as a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt in an athletic department of blue blazers. He came north, his West Virginia twang and friendliness in tow. Rodriguez, a man utterly and completely without airs, took over a program fueled on championship arrogance for four decades.

They may not have been talented enough to play winning football in any style of offense. NFL scouts haven't beaten a path to the Michigan door in three years. The NFL drafted 13 Wolverines after the 2006 and '07 seasons. The league drafted five Wolverines after the 2008 and '09 seasons, and it's possible that none will be drafted this April.

Poor Rodriguez, clearly the cupboard was bare.
The change in scheme, and the inevitable change in coaching style, resulted in an unusual amount of attrition. Rodriguez had to field teams of freshmen and sophomores in Big Ten competition. Michigan improved in each of Rodriguez's three seasons, from 3-9 in 2008, to 5-7 in 2009, to 7-6 this season. The Wolverines didn't win enough, and when they lost, they lost spectacularly.

Attrition? Transfers you say?
