Let's put this in perspective...

If UM loses its last two games this season and Ohio State beats Iowa, the career Big Ten Records of RR and JT will look like this...

RR: 3-13
JT: 59-13

Building on that...

Take away the three years where he managed to find transcendent players at RB and QB together to allow him to run (sorta) roughshod over a weak conference, DickRod has amassed a career record of 85-71-2 (.545), even with those three years, he's just 117-76-2 (.606). scUM fans like to say he is/was a "great coach". Um, his record clearly shows otherwise. In fact, that shows him to be quite mediocre.

Oh, Still an ass.

A Michigan fan's post on another bulletin board:

I am so unhappy with UM football right now I don't know if I will keep up my tickets after retirement. Bill Martin is quitting but should be fired. Richrod is an embarrassment and now I have to root for NCAA sanctions to allow us to fire him without paying the guy millions. We continue to set records for worst this and that. Unbelievable, Bo is turning over and I am not sure I even want to go to the OSU game.

My reply:

I totally agree, you should be unhappy and not go to the Ohio State game. Can I have your tickets?

Profiles in Disillusion: Notre Dame fans contemplate a Weis-less future - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF - Yahoo! Sports

In the "Denial" wing of the Blue's blues, outgoing Michigan athletic director Bill Martin was somewhat less pessimistic Saturday night, although if his intention was to bolster confidence in coach Rich Rodriguez's rebuilding skills, he may not have chosen the most inspiring comparison:
"I was just reading last night in Sports Illustrated the article about (Paul) Johnson at Georgia Tech and what happened down there when he first came," Martin said. "Now he's having a wonderful year. He's 9-1 [now 10-1], but talked about how their quarterbacks left, the receivers left, all the skill players left that program. He's turned it around in two years. I expect you?ll see that same situation."
​
In his first two years at Tech, Johnson installed a totally new offensive system, overhauled the culture, suffered a wave of attrition and has still managed to go 19-5, beat the Jackets' most hated rival, secure a bid in the conference championship game and guide a perpetually mediocre program into the top 10 in the BCS standings in late November. In his first two years at Michigan, Rodriguez installed a totally new offensive system, overhauled the culture, suffered a wave of attrition and has managed to go 3-12 in Big Ten games with back-to-back losses to Michigan State and Penn State and, barring a miracle Saturday against Ohio State, will suffer consecutive losing seasons at a program that hadn't finished below .500 in 40 years before his arrival. Is this really the comparison you want to put in your fan base's collective consciousness, Bill?

Great comparison, Bill.

My post on Michigan Scout:

Michigan Wolverines didn't keep workout logs, school says - ESPN


The University of Michigan says the beleaguered football program failed to file mandatory monthly logs that track how much players work out and practice.

It is potentially trouble for Michigan. When Oklahoma's Rhett Bomar had his no-show job, the thing that sunk the Sooners was that they had failed to collect and process the university-required employment forms from the student-athletes. This failure led to a failure to monitor charge against the institution.


What makes it potentially worse for Michigan is that, whereas Bomar's violation was an individual violation, the underlying alleged violation here is an institutional violation. Thus, whereas Bomar's violation plus Oklahoma's record-keeping failure led to a failure to monitor charge, Michigan's alleged institutional violation plus Michigan's record-keeping failure might warrant a more serios lack of institutional control charge.


Of course, still a long way to go in the investigation, so we really don't have nearly enough facts to know what temperature the water is.
