I also hope Brandon has already found a new coach or is close to getting one.
"You see that foundation right there, now there's termites living there and they live there every day an you don't see them until you start losing. And when you lose they start crawling out. Now what we'll do is when they crawl out we'll get there names and remember their faces so when we start winning again we'll know who we can trust"
I do feel bad for Rich Rodriguez the man, but not the coach. Yeah some problems were that he was not embraced by the Michigan family, BUT the first 2 years, Rod didn't really try to embrace the Michigan culture either.
He was just in way over his head as was his staff.
David Brandon now has to find the right coach for the job
I just saw that too over on the scout boards. Haha well at least he is telling us how he really feels now.

Michigan just has to decide on an identity and stick with it. If they change offenses and defenses and trust the coaching staff, stick with it for a bit. I'll gladly take continued turnover at Michigan as an Ohio State alum, but it is just a mess to keep making complete 180s every few years.
I was going to say as a Buckeye fan you must not be happy with this move.
As nice as it is to have a proverbial bye week at the end of the season, it's not all that much fun to batter a corpse.
For the sake of the rivalry and the Big Ten, Michigan needs to be a good team. Beating Michigan in the #1 v. #2 game was one of the best ever.
Besides, with a new coach likely to be changing the direction of the team completely, it's probably gonna be more of a question if Michigan can prevent the streak from going to 10 in a row :)

Agreed. The B1G needs a few more teams to step up to the plate. The rivalry has taken a big hit since UM has been so pathetic the past 3 years.

The guy left his alma mater where he was already a legend to go elsewhere. He was absolutely loved here and that's why so many people threw such a fit when he left. I didn't really have a problem with him leaving like everyone else did but I don't really feel bad for him now that he has failed either.
what do you guys think happens to him now though? a couple years ago at wvu he was considered one of the hottest coaching prospects around after leading them to some great seasons, does he get a job at a school that already runs some version of his offense that he can tweak to make his own, or does some other school take a flier on him and hope that he can actually make something out of a program like he did at west virginia?
