Yup. Once RRod and Tate showed up, the future of Michigan Football was empty seats in the stadium.
I find it funny that two of the football criticisms leveled at Rodriguez are that he can't recruit (and recruits criminals) and can't coach big games. Leave aside for a minute the fact that he's recruiting to Morgantown, West Virginia, has crappy facilities, and has no in-state talent base to draw from and has to compete primarily with Ohio State and Penn State for recruits. If he can't recruit, then the fact that he's even in big games at all is testament to an extreme coaching talent. And the notion that he can't beat good teams is kind of explained by the lack of talent on the field, isn't it?
We may never see such douchnozzle futility wrapped in so little self awareness again in our lifetimes.
The period from Dec '07 through about early Oct '08 are some of my favorite times ever on this board.not before TDFBIA spent a whole off season rationalizing his (pending) greatness
Go look in the RichRod thread if anyone has time. Same patterns, only the names have changed.
Scum Fan:
Me 12/18/07 (and I was far from being the only one first guessing this disaster hire for them):
I don't think anyone said he can't recruit. I knw I never did. I said he was a dirty recruiter.
As far as that attempt to downplay his big game choke record do you honestly think WVU had the less talented team vs USF and Pitt this year? How about vs USF in '06?
You hired a guy with a proven track record of bending the recruiting rules and choking in big games not to mention his teams softness and lack of defensive fundamentals.
Other than the dirty recruiter bit his track record suggests he is going to augment the things that were wrong under Carr the last few years, not fix them.
I haven't talked to an OSU fan yet that isn't laughing at this one. We couldn't have done better if you let this boards members pick your next coach. Dick Rod contrasted to Tressel over the next few years will be pure comedy gold.
I for one can't wait for all the fun its going to be rubbing arrogant ass scUM fan's noses in the fact they just sold everything they supposedly hold dear about doing it the Michigan way to the devil to get a "name" coach. The best part is he's not even going to win.
The howls of protest and denial from scUM are hilarious in retrospect.
Remember when they beat a horrific Wiscy team in September and they were all over the moon? Only to come crashing to earth when they LOST TO FUCKING TOLEDO weeks later. Reading the mental unraveling on their boards as they suffered crushing loss after crushing loss en route to a 3-9 season was fucking orgasmic.
BARWIS!!!The period from Dec '07 through about early Oct '08 are some of my favorite times ever on this board.
IIRC, we had two prominent scUM fans who spent countless hours defending rodriguez and predicting his lording over the B1G to a comedic degree. Countering them were a good 10-12 of us that would hammer away at them, and (accurately) predicting he would be an utter failure and gone in three years.
