Rich Rodriguez luncheon at DAC
He spoke very highly of Omameh, Lewan and QWashington and said they will help a great deal this year. Specifically said they have really improved their size/conditioning.
He said he was excited about possibly adding another team to the Big Ten and playing a Championship Game. He laughed when someone mentioned Texas; however, he mentioned Missouri and Rutgers.
Rich said he was in favor of the +1 system, but is not really strongly against the BCS.
He talked about how recruiting is different at Michigan and how it allows you to get your foot in the door w top prospects.
He said he thought the team speed will be quite a bit better this year and even better the following year.
He had everyone laughing about the Free Press and said that canceling his subscription was not a tough task on his 'to do list'. Everyone at the luncheon seemed to agree which show that there are a ton of people who recognize the absolute SUCK of the freep
He talked about how this class has added alot of defensive depth, especially up front and in the secondary.
Most of all, everyone there really applauded him and let him know that the true fans are behind him. I could tell that it meant a lot to him.
And he only said "tickled to death" once. Surprising.

Basically, firing RR after this year would be like tearing down a building that is 80% complete because you wanted it to be done earlier.P.S. - Adhering to this short-term strategy will ensure that development of a long-term strategy will be unnecessary for the duration of your tenure.

... how on Earth can you think Rodriguez would be guaranteed a fourth year if UM tanks in 2010? ... That'd be three years in a row of losing football. Really, how many more years do UM fans have to wait?3 + 1 = 4 If he's guaranteed four years no matter what, then Michigan fans will have to wait one more year after a third losing season. I could go into all the reasons why this is so, but your comment doesn't really warrant that kind of detailed response. Suffice it to say that if Michigan wants to bring in a top-tier coach to replace him, they need to give him at least four years in these circumstances.
