Coaching Rumor Mill Picking up again -- UM Headlining it?

Leaving us for Clemson? Now that's a riot.
Marcus is apparently a few credits away from his journalism degree. That sounds more like a extra credit assignment gone bad than news.

I'd be surprised but I wouldn't laugh it off. Anything can happen.

was just making that up. the Clemson job is going to the intern coach. plus why in the world would he leave UM for Clemson? he wouldnt.

so if this is the coaching rumor mill... i just talked to my friend who is good friends with CW's family back in Rhode Island (he's actually sitting in his seats at Steelers-Patriots tonight) and apparently Weis is coming home back to the east coast, for good. *apparently* he's just too embarrassed how thing's have turned out and it appears things are over at ND. this is all word of mouth from my friend.

as you said UT gone, and Clemson is most definitely going to Dabo... especially since he beat the 'Cocks.

Plus, May's an idiot - been hanging around the Holtz "hate Michigan" Kool-Aid to long

4 or 5 more players gone.

Here's what happened:

Mark May and Plaxico Burress decided to have a "Who's the bigger idiot" contest.

Mark May made this statement, and Plax had no choice but to shoot himself in order to even the score. Maybe. Mark may still be ahead.

Excellent, Ninja!

I don't think it's "Michigan arrogance" to say RichRod wouldn't leave right now - it's practicality. I wouldn't go so far as to say no one would leave Michigan (although not many would, as I still think most would consider coaching college football's winningest program one of the ten best jobs in the country), but who would leave it after one year, particularly one that was not unexpected in its badness?

As mentioned above, May's an idiot. So's Plaxico, but that's a different matter entirely.

as yes you can laugh it off

RR wouldn't leave Michigan right now.

is a Hooker with PMS and a yeast infection.

Brodie, Notre Dame is our evil twin. Leaving Michigan for Clemson would be like leaving Alabama for Wisconsin. Or leaving USC for Missouri. Or Texas for Oregon.

Plus, it''d be the death knell of his credibility and an admittance of defeat. I realize you're trying to be logical about where we are, but we're still way up the ladder from Clemson.

And thus, Michigan might not also. Wow, some insider.

is a destination job in every sport. is the rule 100% set in stone? no... but 99%, yes.

Historically, over many coaching administrations, there are a number of elite football schools. Michigan is one of these. Clemson is not. This is an accepted fact. There are various reasons that may contribute to this phenomenon but there must exist some intrinsic advantages to account for the observed consistency. This is not to say that a new school cannot rise in the ranks because they can. Clemson does not have the history of excellence that Michigan does. Therefore it may be argued Clemson is not as good a job as Michigan. This is based on observation not arrogance.

I do not know RR so I cannot say what he will do. He may leave for Clemson. That would be a very bad decision, however, and RR strikes me as smart man. Presumably, it will never get any worse for RR at Michigan. He has survived the first transition year. If he leaves for Clemson then that is all that will be remembered of his Michigan tenure. He will then undergo another transition year at Clemson. That sequence of events will change him from one of the most admired young coaches in the college ranks to a job hoping, loser with no loyalty. Leaving WVU and last season are a sunk cost. I have to believe RR is looking forward and not backwards. All this talk about poor weather, invasive media, and demanding alumni strikes me as the self loathing of a Michigan fan. RR is a competitor. He had to know much of this would come with the Michigan job. He certainly knew it was cold in A2, for instance. It can be assumed he wants to win on the biggest stage and won’t be dissuaded by one bad season.

and Michigan? Herb's statement on the eve of last college football season SEC Championship game and now Mark's,*I Heard It Through The Grapevine* rumour. I,for one,don't believe R2 will bolt after one season because of weather or personal. He knew this accepting the job that it was going to take time form the *vision* he envision for Michigan.

However it does make for interesting Internet chatter...going to pop some cheese popcorn,wait for the next silly rumour.

UT as in Texas or Tennessee?

Texas is locked up for Muschamp(sp?) after Brown is gone. I wouldn't take too much credit to anything Mark May says. I'm sure he and Lou Holth have been lobotomized.

frontal lobotomy. Bad choice Mark!
