Future of Rich Rodriguez

Submitted by Jerard on
Like many of you, I hope Coach Rodriguez has a long and successful career at Michigan. But at some point down the line, he will go somewhere else (or retire). I was thinking, where would RR ideally like to be? Based on his love for Floridians, I can't really imagine anywhere other than FSU, UF, or Miami.

FSU and UF likely won't be looking for a new coach for at least a little while, UF especially, and I truly doubt RR would leave Ann Arbor for UMiami unless he was run out of here. There is also a HUGE difference between recruiting kids from Florida and coaching there. Like I'm even sure how you put those 2 together.

It's amazing how clueless some people are. This man BLEEDS Michigan football now. You think you had a hard time with 3-9? NOBODY hated it more than Rich Rodriguez. Every waking moment of his life for the past three months has been focused on fixing what happened last season. He's exactly where he wants to be. Period.

Rich Rod would certainly not be the first choice to replace Urban Meyer at Florida if he were to leave for some reason or another (such as Notre Dame?). They would probably back up the Brinks truck for Bob Stoops. I don't see FSU having interest in hiring Rich Rod, either. Jimbo Fisher is set to take over for Bobby Bowden when he retires.

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary it sits on the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away, I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must been some kind of kiss I should`ve walked away, I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I knew I was wrong Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight it must have been something you said, i just died in your arms tonight Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight it must have been some kind of kiss i should have walked away, i should have walked away

Rich Rod won't ever leave town if Michigan is willing to pay market price for his services. That price is going to rise after his contract expires. He could very well have one national championship under his belt by then, either in 2011 or 2012 I would guess. Also, why leave the winningest program with the largest fan base when you've already found success recruiting the dickens out of Florida? That being said, Michigan's AD will get Milesed if he thinks Rich Rod is going to sign for a bargain price.

I didn't mean that he was going to leave, but I don't know if it's correct to assume that he'll retire a wolverine? I don't know if I came off the wrong way, but I don't mean that RR wants to go. You guys need to chill the fuck out.

I guess if he has great success here and wins 4 national championships in the next 8 years and he wants to leave I guess from there he would go to the NFL where he would bomb like all of the rest of the College coaches do and come back to college after 3 years. If that is not the case when he retires I guess he will probably go fishing. If he does not have much success here I really don't care where he goes. Kind of a dumb post if you think about it.

Was the post really that bad? Maybe RR decides to coach at Michigan until he retires; maybe he decides to move on at some point. I know there haven't been many coaches who've decided to leave Michigan to coach elsewhere, if any, but it's not impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if RR and his wife hated Ann Arbor (the city/people, not the school). Certain people just don't like the place, like conservatives...and hillbillies from West Virginia.
