Also the Pac12 is a far weaker conference yo! One of our worst teams beat the SEC East champion ;)

Just seeing JT Barret get thrown into the starting QB spot in late August and see how much he has progressed should tell them.

Let's not ignore the importance of their AD in bringing RR to Arizona. We need a real AD here. NOW!
November 28th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
No Matter who you were rooting for or why, the excitement of such a cliffhanger was everything a Rivalry game should be.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
Just to think that they are in a position, not a probable one, but still have a chance at the 4 spot is amazing compared to were we are.

So your saying that RR is worst than Hoke. Hey he South Divsion Champ of the Pac 12. Hoke just 5-6 of the year.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
Stop with the revisionist history. Most of the fans here were all for Rich Rod until he proved he could field a defense or win a game in the big 10. It wasn't like he was doing well here. The only argument is that we fired him too soon before we could see if he would get better. Get real guys.

that most fans and most former players and coaches were not all for RichRod when he was hired. That was one of the problems from the outset.

How much could we actually blame anyone for the 2008 season other than the peple in charge of the Lloyd to RR transition. It all ended up with Nick Sheridan and Steven Threet being our QB's. I'm convinced that if Mallet had stayed, our program would have been a lot different right now.

November 28th, 2014 at 7:37 PM ^
The entire starting Offense graduated the year he took over......nobody was going to win with what he had left even if Boren and Mallet had stayed.
This guy is going to rip it up for years to come and not only did we let him go, we shoved him out the door.
Please Harbaugh, come and save us from ourselves.

The fact that you are posting Carson Butler, Greg Mathews and Brandon Minor as examples of talent he inherited shows how little actual talent RR had to work with.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:45 PM ^
We get fucking point, He defesen was bad when he have DC that doesnt have chemistry with his assistant, Two Look at Arizona, Run same BS defesne of what your saying heading into a conference title game. Wow. If he would have his own DC, This whole talk would never occur.
Where is Brady Hoke and Michigan At. No where, sitting at 5-6, Michigan Fan got to be fucking piss right now to see RR heading to a Conference title game.

That's one of the biggest problems. He only had 3 years. That reflects very poorly on U of M. You have to give coaches longer than 3 years and especially guys with the track record of RR. I mean that is without even taking into consideration the fact that RR inherited a poor roster and was installing an entirely new system. It obviously was a much, much longer rebuild than 3 years.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
I agree with what another poster said in that RR learned a lot at Michigan. I never disliked the guy, much like I don't dislike Hoke. Problem is, both failed at Michigan.

Maybe he learned a lot.....question for me is, did we? Doesn't look like it so far.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
What he did at Arizona is something that michigan will never achieve. He beat his Rival for the first time, He got Arizona to win it first 10 game since 1998, First ever Divison Title and First time ever in conference championship game. While at michigan, You only care about your freaking pride and your diginty of what michigan is. Right now hoke leading the ship 5-6 with No divison title or a conference since he been the coach and since he be praising those word. It does hurt to see a former coach winnning while other failing.

I realize that your knowledge of the Michigan, the Big Ten and its history might not be completely up to speed, but I would hope you would delve into that history a little more before making statements like this. Granted, Hoke's record against our rivals is not impressive, but we have beaten them plenty of times over the passage of time, thank you. Of course, the problem has been doing this consistently (or frequently) lately.
November 29th, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Baby steps... teach him to write a sentence first then we'll get him up to speed on his history.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
I'd rather focus on who we should get as head coach in 2014 than mgoblog's favorite topic of arguing over whether we should have let RR go in 2010. We weren't good at all from 2008 to 2010 besides against ND. I support RR and Hoke with their future pursuits but this is just stupid. It's done and we should focus on who we're getting as a head coach in 2014.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
November 29th, 2014 at 9:21 AM ^
This topic needs to be talked about so that Michigan does not repeat the same mistake in future hires. We let an incompetent coach have his 4 years and let one of the better college football coaches go after 3. It's kind of a problem.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
Even RR would agree that the Michigan experience hardened him as one can noticed that Jeff Casteel is in AZ, and Tony Gibson is not.
I wish RR the best. Beat the Ducks.
