CC: Fox 2 News just tweets Rich Rod fired

Is anyone really surprised by this?

Who is this Rich Rod you speak of? I only talk about guys who coach for Michigan.

out of left field.

Let the job search begin!

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HIRE A NEW COACH

THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM IS OVER

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD WHY NOT ME? TAKE ME INSTEAD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Soooooooooooooooo who is our new coach gonna be?

I'm at home for a late lunch....   Fox 2 just broke in their programming to confirm this.

Man.....what a sad day.

hope Brandon has somebody else already lined up. If it's Brady Hoke I may throw up in my mouth a little. I do wish RR good luck at his next stop, as long as his team isn't playing UM.

It must be set in stone.

Lloyd Brady, that is all

It's like a root canal.  Short term pain for longterm relief...we hope.  

It's weird, we all saw this coming yet I really feel bad (right about now).

Well not surprising but I don't know if it's the right choice. I just hope that we have a HC that is able to win, I'm up for anybody right now.

Well, DB, I hope and trust you have a viable candidate waiting in the wings.

for the program.  Moving On.

.....this makes me sad :(

 

God Bless Rich, best of luck wherever you go, I will always be a Rich Rod fan. 

Let the speculation about his replacement begin!

 

...what's that you say? It's been going for weeks now? Ah. Carry on

......Harbaugh or bust. I don't care what we have to pay him.

the fuck

Are we sure this is 100% fact? Fox News 2 is the only one reporting this. I think I will wait for some more confirmed sources before I jump to any conclusions. If this is true, I really hope he has JH board or someone of that caliber. IMO, it should be JH or a fourth yr for RR.

Now on espn ticker too fwiw.  Not yet on espn website

EDIT: report getting legs now

Would this be a good time to petition BC to change the mgoblog Official Band? The more Smiths references (and kittens, otters and now beavers) the more life has made Michigan football its bitch.

I suggest the Stooges and, like, a wolverine. Swagger starts inside, boys.

Dominos are about to fall.  This is scary.

*I don't mean pizza, but that's a good pun har-har.

I mean, I'm confident they are right because everyone has known he's sone since Jan 1, whether we like it or not.  But I don't understand how they got the story at 215 if the meeting started at two.  Did RR or DB text them under the table during the convo?

Rich, you will be alright. I'd say go to the ACC or Big East and you will be doin just great. Best of luck, you are a good man.

This makes me sad. Goodbye Denard as well.

Hopin that we got a guy lined up now that doesn't rhyme with "Lady Spoke"

Michigan fired a coach for poor on-field performance?? This is like moon-landing rare.

All you had to do was hire a damn defensive coordinator and some special teams help and this town was yours. This is a loss for the football team, but you left Brandon no other choice!

Alright Dave, this is where you now introduce the big level BCS coach to lead us to the promised land.  I mean you wouldn't do this unless you had something locked up.  You wouldn't leaving us in January scrambling, and ending up with a MAC coach, right?  RIGHT?!?
