Why, is he going somewhere?
President Schlissel
November 28th, 2014 at 11:06 PM ^
The same place he'll be 4 days from now. Elsewhere.
4 years is a very long time in college football. Just think of where our mindset was 4 years ago.

I hope people don't hate RR and just realize instead that RR didn't have a DC and that was his downfall.
November 29th, 2014 at 1:21 AM ^
The last time I checked, the HC is responsible for both sides of the ball. That's like saying that Hoke's only problem is that he never had an OC.
RR had multiple DCs, but the defense's were still horrible. Hoke had multiple OCs and his offenses (for the last two years) have been awful. The job of the head coach is to win games, not make excuses up about the side of the field they dont feel like coaching.

In speaking with a current players family it appears Martin never gave RR a choice on who he could have as a DC.. He forced him to hire Robinson because Martin and Gerg were good friends. Not because he thought he was qualified
November 29th, 2014 at 10:23 AM ^
Given their backgrounds, I have to wonder how Martin and Robinson would have been good friends. Forcing a move that like that seems completely out of step with everything else we know about how Martin ran the AD. How would a current player's parents know something like that? It's not something I've seen anywhere else. If the story was that Martin wouldn't pay enough to get who RR wanted, I'd believe that. Robinson was a relatively low paid DC.
November 29th, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
That's complete ignorant horseshit. Bill Martin has spent his entire adult life in Ann Arbor, founding First Martin Corporation in 1968 after getting his MBA from UM in '65 and a BA from Wittenberg in Ohio.
Greg Robinson grew up in and attended college in California, and spent his entire adult life coaching in California, Colorado, Kansas City, New York, North Carolina, and Syracuse prior to coming to Michigan. There is no intersection of Martin and Robinson's lives anywhere along that timeline. The only possible connection would be sailing, and there is not one single solitary indication that Greg Robinson is a sailor.
Bill Martin may not have allowed RR to spend the money that was necessary, but he did not force RR to hire Greg Robinson. That was RR's own mistake, and one that doomed his chances here.
November 29th, 2014 at 11:43 AM ^
Ha, so you can definitively say they could not be "friends" based soley upon where they lived?
Maybe they met at a NACDA convention. Maybe their wives are longtime friends.
Sorry that may not fit your narrative.

There will always be idiots who hate RR. I hope they have fun watching his team play for the Pac 12 Championship next week and realize that it would have worked here if he had gotten the same four years and money to buy a good DC that Brady Hoke got.
November 29th, 2014 at 3:34 AM ^
Cognative dissosance runs rampant on here when it comes to accepting how much of a mistake was made when it came to handling RR...
Lot of sour grapes right now with his success, almost hilarious, except that i share the same in the same fanbase as these morons.

Maybe a DL coach on an NFL team? Hard to see him being a HC anywhere else other than a mid major school (which I'd be surprised to see him take) and I don't think he's got the resume to be a DC

He will still be coaching Michigan in 4 years.

I truly believe he ends up with a job in the athletic department. Or he retires. I just don't see him coaching somewhere else. I think getting fired from this job is going to drain him.
