Les Miles wanted to take the Michigan job in the worst way, all Michigan brass had to do was keep their fat pieholes shut until after the SEC championship game...and they couldn't do it. Word leaked and Miles facing unbelievable scrutiny from the backlash had to turn the job down.
Hell, Rodriguez wasn't even your second choice, Greg Schiano was...but he saw the baboons that run your athletic department, and the fact that your AD likes riding yachts more than taking care of the future of an unstable football program and he passed.
Then, he came, the "Savior" that Martin wanted all along...and Michigan fan I'll be damned if you slop that kool-aid up like a sugar starved 4 year old.
I don't want to hear the arguement from angry posters that this is the first year of Rodriguez! That you have to give a chance to rebuild. That's all crap. Rich Rodriguez had a chance to make this a FAR SMOOTHER transition than its been. YOU'RE FREAKING MICHIGAN FOR GOD SAKES!
This is a team that had some talent that would've come back if Rodriguez would've adjusted slowly. This was a team that beat the now 9-1, No. 3 ranked Florida Gators last year! But Rodriguez had to burn all bridges and have his "signature" on this team.
I'll say it again...GOOD COACHES ADJUST TO THE TALENT ON THEIR TEAMS. Urban Meyer did it, so did Pete Carroll, Bob Stoops, and Jim Tressel. Because they are good coaches. This should NOT be a 3-8 team that isn't even competitive half the time. What is your excuse for Rich Rodriguez Michigan fan?
If you're looking for a huge turn around next year Michigan fan, you're in for a massive rude awakening. You'll be starting a true freshman at quarterback in the Big Ten. You will be in-fluxing more unproven talent at skill positions. Your current commitments are jumping this sinking Rodriguez ship, and you are not recruiting any size whatsoever or depth for your offensive and defensive lines in the future. There is even talk amongst the program that there will be multiple additional defections in addition to the previous ones.
Oh, and by the way Michigan fan, you're going to now lose 7 out of 8 to The Vest who owns you.
Which will lead me to my finally point before I hit "publish" on this bad boy, and let the love fest between the Wolverine faithful and myself begin. Rich Rodriguez doesn't "get it" when it comes to THE GAME. He sounds like a John Cooper clone.
*MEMO RICH RODRIGUEZ*...this ISN'T just another game to Wolverine and Buckeye fans. This is war, this is hatred, this is Desmond's Heisman pose, its Buckeye players tearing apart the M Club Flag in 73', its 50-14 in 68', and 24-12 in 69'...ITS Woody and its Bo.
Do your history Rich Rodriguez, and realize that coaches get fired because of this game, become legends from this game...Jim Tressel UNDERSTANDS THIS. Hell, Lloyd Carr knew this for crying out loud.
A win over Ohio State in the minds of Michigan fans this Saturday, SAVES THE ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT this season has been Rich. And as a Buckeye fan, I'm thrilled you don't get it, because I'm very confident we'll lay an ass beating on you for another few years until Michigan fan wakes up and realizes the mistake Bill Martin has made.
Please Michigan fans, please make THE GAME meaningful again, wake up, stop drinking the Martin/Rodriguez kool-aid, and use your power as a fanbase. You can do it, you just have to show the stones to stand up together and tell Bill Martin that the man he hired that wants you guys to "get a life", needs to pack up his stuff and "get out of town".
Now before the hate mail pours in on the comments board, I ask you to consider one thing...I am an unabashed Buckeye fan, I HATE your school. That said, I LOVE this game, and I respect the Michigan program, this is a BUCKEYE FAN saying you deserve better. Shouldn't that be convincing enough that something is wrong with the Michigan Wolverine football program?
