He's not a "Michigan Man". Granted there two best coaches were not Michigan Men either but that just confuses them.

8-5 4th place division finish, played in the Advocare bowl

Lets not annoit Rich Rod as some GODlike coach just yet


Let him have a 9 win season at least first.

He's completely turned this program around. Legit recruiting classes coming in and our group of young dudes we got this year is very promising. If we keep this core together we WILL make some noise.

I've got to give him credit. He looks real good in the PAC.

15-22
6-18 in the Big Ten
0-6 against MSU/OSU
Defense was a joke
Offense crumbled anytime they played a defense with a pulse
Couldn't find/develop a reliable FG kicker
Noticeable downwards trend in recruiting (namely along the lines)



Great that he is finding success at Arizona, but that is a school/league that is a better fit for the style of play he wants to run. That shit just doesn't work in the Big Ten, and has never won a national title.

This is Arizona were talking about.. That on pace for three straight winning seasons and bowl games is a huge feat.

In Rich Rod we trust

Omega 13 worthy...

Because he's a terrible coach. I wouldn't want RR back in a million years. I wouldn't even reverse time and NOT fire him.

LOL. Brady Hoke went 10-2 with Rich Rods players. Imagine Dennard Robinson in a Rich Rod offense. LOL

The midwest doesnt' have the athletes to run a rich rod offense, he's in a good fit where he can get those california kids to run it.

Michigan can recruit Florida as well as Arizona recruits California, if not much better. That's a stupid trollish excuse.

Although, this idea that RichRod's offense was bad at Michigan is a complete myth. Yes, they struggled against great defenses,but they put up points on everyone else. And, FWIW, it's not like Oregon is a great defense this year, either. If the Michigan defense was as good as their offense, they would have have gone 9-4 or 10-3 most years. And that's likely where Arizona will end up this year.
