Wow...just wow!
January 4th, 2011 at 2:47 PM ^
You're on the clock Brandon.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Is anyone really surprised by this?
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Who is this Rich Rod you speak of? I only talk about guys who coach for Michigan.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
out of left field.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Let the job search begin!
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HIRE A NEW COACH
THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM IS OVER
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD WHY NOT ME? TAKE ME INSTEAD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
January 4th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Worst AD ever. I hate you DB.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Why don't you wait for the results of the process before judging? Ironically, this attitude is the same as the people calling for RR's head before the year started.
I still want RR here, but you can't deny that there are many reasons to do this.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
Soooooooooooooooo who is our new coach gonna be?
January 4th, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
January 4th, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
I'm at home for a late lunch.... Fox 2 just broke in their programming to confirm this.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:29 PM ^
Man.....what a sad day.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
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.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
It must be set in stone.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
And what, you think he's not fired? That he wasn't going to be fired? C'mon now. You can't avoid reality forever.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Lloyd Brady, that is all
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
It's like a root canal. Short term pain for longterm relief...we hope.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
It's weird, we all saw this coming yet I really feel bad (right about now).
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
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.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
Well, DB, I hope and trust you have a viable candidate waiting in the wings.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
for the program. Moving On.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
.....this makes me sad :(
God Bless Rich, best of luck wherever you go, I will always be a Rich Rod fan.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:45 PM ^
January 4th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Let the speculation about his replacement begin!
...what's that you say? It's been going for weeks now? Ah. Carry on

again.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
the fuck
January 4th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
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.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
Now on espn ticker too fwiw. Not yet on espn website
EDIT: report getting legs now
January 4th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
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.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
Dominos are about to fall. This is scary.
*I don't mean pizza, but that's a good pun har-har.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
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?
January 4th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
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"

I'm going to miss Rita's dip...
January 4th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
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?!?
January 4th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^

<br>Also some word that it hasn't all gone done yet, but is in the process.
January 4th, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
instead of hiring the best BCS coach, he's going to hire the best michigan man.
