Lynn Henning recklessly claims Rich will be fired Monday
This is horrible even before the results of the OSU game come in. What if we win? What then? If he's wrong, he should be the one fired on Monday.

...Pres. Coleman said in the recent NCAA press conference that she will leave the decisions up to Dave Brandon. If anything, she will sign off on whatever decision he makes.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:56 PM ^
but MSC would know before RR.
November 23rd, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
y oh y do u all listen to ppl who r vested in state and not MI... i'm starting to think Mi has some of the dumbest fans known to man
November 23rd, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
Was this before or after he said that new found movement on Nate Robertson's breaking ball would have back in the Tiger rotation on opening day?
November 23rd, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
If it wasn't so sad, it would be really funny how the instate media are scrambling to "scoop" each other on the "RR fired" story. Henning isn't taking much of a risk here, though; most readers consider him to be a buffoon when it comes to college football, anyway.
Maybe this is a ploy by Henning to damage his own credibility for college football so badly that they won't make him write about it anymore. Everyone who has ever read him over a period of time knows his heart and soul are with baseball, and that he is pretty talented in that medium.
I guess Henning hasn't figured out that he doesn't have any college football credibility to damage.
November 23rd, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
I thought she was crazy when she said that we'd lose by 14+ to MSU. Super crazy. So, I don't know what to think.
Wait...she's a guy?
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:04 PM ^
Now Lynn Henning and Pam Ward have something in common: they're both confused for women.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:11 PM ^
What a total douche bag! Yeah, I'm really sure that DB gave him inside information. Even if DB has decided this, you can bet the farm that he hasn't told anyone about it. IMO DB would have to be an idiot to fire RR right now, we need to see this through. Just another Detroit rag that needs to be flushed down the toilet. Sheesh! Now, let's go wreck some Buckeyes :)
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
Village Idiot's comments on the subject > Henning's.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
Michigan wins then Rich Rod stays. But I think anything short of that....
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
Bo wasn't a reckless drunk and a jackass-prick, porking coeds in the bathrooms of bars. And Bo never, ever slandered Michigan.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:56 PM ^
actually, i don't think you think at all.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
And has a woman's name. He can suck a wagonfull of dicks.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
Exactly what came to mind, except rather than wagonfull, bag. Louis CK style.

Gloves and all...and I know people generally don't like the constant uploads of Lloyd Brady (which is why I didn't create a separate thread, but I mean, this guy is everywhere!
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
I'm not sure comment #80 on a thread discussing Lynn Henning's prediction about RR's future with the football program is the most intuitive place to bring up Lloyd Brady's affiliation with the soccer program, but I always love me some Lloyd Brady.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:58 PM ^
i think you can start a thread with this...and point out where he is.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
Taylor Martinez is transferring!!
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:56 PM ^
doubt this true.1,we are going to a bowl game.2,DB seems like a smart guy.3,It would only set us back 3 more years,wheather it's harbaugh or who ever!!!Why do i say that well because we would have to get a whole new roster which take's time,2 to 3 years.Unless it's a spread coach,which right know we have one of the best spread coaches in the nation.SO AS A MICHIGAN FAN I SAY KEEP COACH ROD,UNLESS YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN.GO BLUE!!!
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:57 PM ^
I've read this blog for years and never signed up, but my best friend lives in Louisiana and he heard on a sports radio talk show that there are rumors RR's agent is in talks with an SEC team and is ready to move on. Obvuiously a rumor, but maybe it ties in with our rumor and POSSIBLY Rich Rod is quitting and Brandon made a split second decision to replace him with Harbaugh? Thoughts?
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
i think you're a troll.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
I dont see why you think I'm a troll.
I'm adding to the conversation, stating things that I've heard (and clearly stated that they were rumors, which is what this whole thread is about)
People here aren't thinking outside the box, everyone assumes this means RR would be getting fired, but what if he's quitting? It would make sense in my mind with everything he's been through. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it would totally make sense to me.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
No, everyone here is assuming that this rumor is total bullshit. Hence all the sarcastic comments about other rediculous rumors and about how Lynn Henning is not a woman. There is no reason to think outside the box.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:25 PM ^
When your view of "outside the box" is believing "I totally heard from some guy who said his friend heard something on a radio station in Louisiana about UM's coaching staff being fired", you might as well just go home.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:25 AM ^
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:44 PM ^
For answers regarding why people believe you to be a troll, and not "adding to the conversation," see the collective comments of those who have been members longer than 45 minutes.
The bottom line: Walking, quacking, swimming, pecking at garbage - it's a duck.
Besides, if you've paid any attention, RR is not Kiffin, Petrino, etc., despite the vitriole accusing him of their kinds of hi-jinks.
Never mind - these rumors are not worthy of all this attention.
What a waste.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:21 PM ^
RR's dad was offered 180,000 to come to Miss St.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
One, this is a troll.
Two, this is the stupidest, most idiotic thing ever. I mean, think about it. At UM he has perhaps the most dynamic, electric player to ever play QB in his system. He has another, waiting in the wings, who is supposed to be an even better pass threat than Denard. His offense is one of the most explosive we've seen at UM, in a while, and all that with their youth shooting themselves in the foot several times in every game. He is coaching a team for a University that has more history on the field than most other conferences do combined. Why in the world would he EVER quit UM?
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
You're an idiot.
Why would he leave UM?
People were asking the same thing about WV. It was his alma mater, at the time he was in contention for a national title. He was losing Pat White, but he was replaceable. In his system, he'll always have an athlete at QB running wild.
I love UM, but I seem to remember the last time we had a coaching search, people weren't lining up at the door based on our history. It's a great attribute, and a great sell. I think Rich saw it as a chance to compete at the elite level. But in case you haven't watched the news, every other day theres something new about how horrible Michigan is and how horrible RR is. All I'm saying is I wouldn't be surprised to see him quit. Can you imagine being in his shoes watching the or hearing about the news? I can imagine his family hears about it quite a bit too. Maybe he needs a new begining.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
Usually when you start off your post calling someone an idiot, you've lost credibility.
IMO, RR has just as many supporters as he has detractors, and given the current crop of sports journalists he deals with most of the time, my guess is that he doesn't care what they think.
This year's team is one of two different sides. The defense, which has been poor, and the offense, which is arguably one of the best in cfb, with most of the starters returning. He never had this good of an offense at WVU, from a stats point of view, and these guys we've been rooting for this year will only get better next year.
Now, on your side, you mentioned one thing that would make me think he could possibly leave, and that is how his family is feeling about the negativity towards him by certain camps.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:46 PM ^
Which SEC school. There is no one close to being let go unless Miles loses his remaining games. Georgia, maybe but i doubt it
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
Not to question your motives, but when someone signs up about 30 minutes ago to post something incredibly speculative and amorphous ("I know a guy who heard somewhere..."), the Troll Alert is on double-red status.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:01 PM ^
Oh, good. More unfounded rumors to get all the crazies (and the rest of us on this board) whipped up into a maize and blue frenzy. I'll get the popcorn.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:10 PM ^
They should fire this woman. (I know, she's a man.)
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
This is like recruiting. Until it happens ( a player signs) I don't believe it.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
"If he's wrong, he should be the one fired on Monday."
I like this.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
The David Brandon article with Henning in today's News was undeniably telling in one aspect:
As definitive as Brandon was about the future prospects of Coach Beilein, he was way less so regarding Coach Rodriguez. The talk of the future of the football coach seems to bring the "one of 27 sports" answer, while here Beilein got basically a verbal long-term committment.
Considering their levels of success at Michigan have both been pretty low, that might say something about where this is headed.
Maybe Henning left some of Brandon's more positive comments about Rich on the cutting room floor per the MSM agenda?
Ohio State is always many things to this program. It isn't a stretch to say that it is a very meaningful opportunity for Rich to show progress, rather than sideways movement. I sure hope he takes advantage of it.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
oh man. just a second.
Lynn......Lynn Henning! People taking Henning seriously
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:43 PM ^
that Donald Trump will be the one telling RR "You're Fired"!
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
Aren't we playing Ohio State on Saturday?
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
No, we already lost right?
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
I saw Mrs. RR at the hockey game with the little ones. Lets face it, if RR was history, would she feel comfortable going to Yost? I think not. This is the first time since his first few months in A^2, that I have seen any of them at Yost.
From this, i will surmise that Henning is pulling something out of his nether region again.
November 24th, 2010 at 4:16 AM ^
That she bought a smaller-than-usual turkey this year. TELLING. Obviously she wants fewer leftovers because she expects to be packing up and leaving town for good within days after thanksgiving. You heard it here folks OMG
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
Would someone put this thread out of our misery and kill it?
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
that there will be a press conference on Monday. Coach Rodriguez will not be leaving the football program. Period. Fact. That is all.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
DB could be planning a 180 on the tool bags ... paybacks a bitch.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
The rumor coming from inside the athletic department, is Jim Harbaugh told DB that he has to be hired this year. Jim said he will stay here for life and never leave but it has to be this year or he is headed to the NFL.
I heard this from family that work in the athletic department, they told me to take it with a grain of salt becaause DB would never let this out, so it is just a rumor. However if i is true I don't like Jim backing us into a corner, and I support RR I think we are on the brink of somthing special.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
Music to my ears. Hopefully David Brandon won't be offended by a guy as good a coach as Harbaugh, a guy with unlimited options, wanting to come here and stay here for life and build a champion. How dare Harbaugh?! The heartless barbarian.
Let's get a deal done and thank Rich Rodriguez for his service with a monster buy-out check. Jim Harbaugh is a better football coach and would be a better fit to lead Michigan. Stanford's year is over until the first of the year, and there is recruiting to be completed here.
What Henning is saying might be baseless. I listened to the podcast of the interview and he admits he might be wrong and that he has no special information.
Man there is a lot in the air though.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
that if Rich Rodriguez is given a couple more years with this program and with a DC whom he really wants, that nobody here will care how Harbaugh is doing, at Stanford or with the Carolina Panthers.
