Could be innocent

It's just a message board rumor. But don't forget that Meyer and Rodriguez are friends; they share offensive ideas all the time. Meyer learned the spread option from RR. They could just be catching up while Magee is down there recruiting.

Florida is a potential bowl opponent. If this actually happened, the timing suggests that it's probably more than just catching up.

I don't know if it means his departure is imminent, but it certainly shows that RR and co. are just as in-the-dark as we all are about what's going to happen.

Umm...unless he was to say become head coach, why would he leave one big school for another of similar prestige for the exact same position?  I guess he could be paid more... but I doubt it.  And unless he has had a falling out with RR, then I don't see this happening

edit: ah, I get it, as a safety in case RR is fired (which isn't happening, sorry!)

We got an opportunity to

We got an opportunity to spend some time with the Mattisons at the UM alumni family camp a shortly before he bolted for Notre Dame, and all they talked about was how much they loved Michigan, how he wanted to coach there for life, how it was so great and being DC in Ann Arbor was the perfect situation...

And a year or two later (might have even been the following winter, I can't remember if it was 1995 or 1996) he bolts in the gap before the bowl game for the exact same job at Notre Dame.

Total cash grab.  Can't blame him all that much, but still a bit of a puzzler at the time based on how naturally gushy the family was about how much they loved UM.  It wasn't an act.

It certainly wasn't tremendous.

More along the lines of "dead to me". Probably up there (though these had better reasons) with Les, Cam, and the special teams coordinator after the Iowa game. Maybe Harbaugh too. We'll see.

I'm not sure this has been true in the successful (ie, Spurrier and Meyer) eras. Way back they were notorious cheaters in the Charley Pell era. I certainly wonder about Zook. However, in their MNC years led by one arrogant genius, Spurrier (who I like by the way) and then another, Meyer (who I most definitely do not like), I have heard very little about cheating. The truth is, with their recruiting base, they shouldn't have to cheat to get top talent.

Florida was absolute dogmeat before Spurrier got there.

True, but that was 20 years and three national titles ago.  To a recruit, UF has been good throughout his lifetime.

It's not a huge deal if it happens.  RR is basically the OC, anyway.

Well, that would make

The Gator Bowl a lot more interesting.



He interviewed for Florida schools head coaching jobs before. Maybe he figures it's be easier in-state, or in a program where the head guy isn't really the OC (I mean, does Magee get any credit over Rich Rod?). Or it's all the other rumors, which are even getting me weary.

Fine

Replace him with a special teams coach or another defensive coach.  RR and Rod Smith can call the plays just as well.

I agree that the offense

I agree that the offense would still be pretty good, but we don't need another defensive coach.  We just need a DC who's allowed to run his own defense, and position coaches who are on the same page as the DC.

Absolutely agree

that that is ultimately what needs to happen.  So yeah, I don't think simply adding a defensive coach to this group is the answer.  My thinking is more along the lines of, if RR is staying, he's basically got a year to turn the defense around.  So it's kind of an all hands on deck situation and you'll need all the hands you can get over there. 

In the alterntative hire a ST guy for a year.  I know you did that analysis that basically says few schools have them.  But again, I'm looking for the quick fix, which might just be hiring a guy dedicated to that.

Probably overly shortsighted, but it a staff opening is definitely an opportunity to address some deficiencies.

Maybe the team doesn't need

Maybe the team doesn't need another defensive coach. I'd agree with you on that.

However, this team needs a special teams coach, badly. Of note: Stanford has a dedicated special teams coach. It's Bill Polian's kid (coincidence with Harbaugh, I'm sure). He worked at Notre Dame and did quite well, and has significantly improved Stanford's special teams in his first year there.

Seeing as how special teams directly led to the holes in three games (Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State) that the Michigan offense couldn't dig out of, I think the team needs a special teams coach. It's 1/3 of the game, and the team needs a dedicated and consistent focus on it.

That's a good idea.  As long

That's a good idea.  As long as RR is the coach, we really don't need a separate offensive coordinator.  Use the extra coaching spot for something we clearly do need - a dedicated special teams guy. 

If RR hires a new DC, leaves him alone and gets someone to fix special teams . . . he may yet have a chance to turn it around.

If RR wants to the run the 3-3-5 he has to get Casteel, if he can't get Casteel, RR let the DC, whom ever it may be run his system and pick his personell.  Otherwise we won't really see much improvement.

RR calls most of the plays

RR calls most of the plays anyways.  Magee might want to go somewhere that he can have more input.

More credit, at least.

Really...Honestly

I am all for RR, I want it to work just as much as any Blue Blooded Michigan Fan. But really, Top 5 offense. Denard Robinson. Unlimited resources. 9 starters on offense returning. Michigan wont be outbid if it were about money. Michigan wouldnt let an top 5  statistical OC out the door to interview. Were not there yet but were days away of getting OJ type evidence that something is going down. In close, I Love My School No Matter Who Is Coach, Period!

Actually, though it may be changing

Michigan Athletics has been notoriously cheap, especially regarding personnel. The "honor of working for" and all that. Though I think it's shifting and moving more into "you get what you pay for". (Martin was notoriously cheap, going around buildings and shutting off lights and telling staff to use the stairs instead of the elevator. He probably would have had a stroke seeing the Stadium lights on).

Florida pays

Florida and most of the SEC pay their assistant coaches a LOT more than Michigan and the rest of the Big Ten.

Doesn't make a ton sense

Well, it would suck, but I think we would survive it. Probably promote Rod Smith or something. What I won't look forward to is the shit storm about this meaning RR is getting canned.

Why are you all so worried

Why are you all so worried about Magee leaving? We really need another defensive coach or a special teams coach. Right now there are essentially 3 Qb coaches with Rodriguez, Smith, and Magee. Like another poster said, Smith can just move up to OC.

No, we don't need another

No, we don't need another defensive coach.  That is dumb.  Essentially every team has the same number of offensive and defensive coaches that we do.

And Magee isn't a QB coach.  He was a TE in the NFL and coaches the tight ends.  Don't be ridamndiculous.

Is your snark meter on?

Has anyone heard the rumor about Butch Jones eating at Zingerman's...no...because i just made that up. However a rumor that is probably true.... Drew Sharp and Mike rosenberg were seen on camera at the Detroit Zoo Clubbing baby seals. And they were regular attendees at Michael Vick's dog fights. I even think i saw them on an episode of Whale Wars trying to sodomize baby dolphins.

Didn't Calvin McGee interview

Didn't Calvin McGee interview for a HC position at South Florida last year?  He is a viable candidate to move up, and the season just ended, so this is nothing unusual.

but why would Calvin want to make a lateral move? the only reason i can think of is he isnt the one running this offense, RR is.

Not a very good sign, if true?

It lends to the theory that RR may have been told he would be released after the bye out dropped to 2.5M in early Jan.  Sad to see him leave but that's life as a coach at a major football university.  Time is money, and when you collect the big bucks you better produce fast. I disagree but DB has probably projected into the future and has decided that RR is not the coach. A defense that got worse and no special teams.  RR may have been banking on Casteel but he should have had a much better plan B!

Clearly, this means

that RR will move to offensive coordinator and Harbaugh will be the new head coach.

I know you're joking, but

I know you're joking, but that would have the potential to be awesome.  Bring in a Michigan guy to make everyone happy, let Rodriguez coach the offense because the offense is awesome, and hopefully Harbaugh could bring in a DC to make good things happen on that side of the ball.

I vote for you as the new AD whenever David Brandon moves on.

I have been thinking the same sort of thing lately

Would Rodriguez move to OC? Could we bring in a quality DC? Would Harbaugh come back as HC in this case? And would the disgruntled fanbase shut up if Harbaugh came back? Interesting questions.

Maybe

Would Harbaugh come back as HC in this case?

NOT ENOUGH DATA SO I MAKE BIG

And would the disgruntled fanbase shut up if Harbaugh came back? 

Some would, others would not. I'd be one of the disgruntled if he came back.

There is no way

No. Way. No way that Rodriguez would take a slap in the face like that and accept such a major demotion. He'd be left no choice but to walk or be canned. Also no way that Harbaugh and Rodriguez could (either one) co-exist peacefully, both would want control. I've had the same crazy thought but I always stamp it out before I get excited about the wickedly awesome possibilities.

Didn't Nebraska keep Callahan's hand-chosen OC after he got canned because their offense was good but their defense was atrocious? I could (possibly) see that happening here.

I figured Calin McGee was not long for MIchigan, but I'd be surprised if he ends up as an OC at another major university.  We can either match any offer they make or at least come close.  I'm surprised he's not being mentioned for more head coaching jobs like the Minnesota job.
