Breaking: Arizona's talented Matt Dudek expected to be named Michigan director of recruiting. First reported by footballscoop.

Great hire. He was really well respected at Arizona in a similar role. Players and recruits seem to love him.
For RR reaction, see my avatar.
He looks like "What the fuck just happened?
His defense gave up 600+ yds and 69 points again.
Geez, why is that a surprise?
Best guess as to what is he saying exactly....
Professional lip reader for the FBI for 21 years. He says "that fucking fat ass is holding."
Unprofessional MGoBlog lip reader for 2 minutes. Looks like he says "Fuck my last homey"
Fuckin fatass, go eat
Fuckin fat ass, hold me.
Fuckin fat ass Tony!

"Fat ass...give me your hoagie "
I have hours of family movies for analysis. Very suspicous about great aunt Margie.
Just re read third and long, can't help but feel for him...he is good dude, but we have our dude
Is no longer allowed to have any of Rita's nacho dip
that's miss rita to you.
An opponent is eating Rita's nacho dip? He's probably making excuses for his porous defense, he wouldn't be complaining about his own player holding.
"I wanna fucking fat ass coney."
Rich Rod picked up a bad coney dog habit while in Michigan. The cravings strike at the oddest times.
"Fucking my ass only...."
Easy, next!?!
I hope the ref is not a fat ass.
It's a line of guys with football helmets on but what they're doing I'm not sure.
From the little bit I read, he sounds a lot like Harbaugh. Genuine, not concerned about what people think of him, cares about the kids and is a family guy. Also social media savvy. Welcome aboard. GO BLUE!
but I'm not sure that Arizona's recruiting really reflects what Dudek's abilities are.
Going by Scout's rankings, AZ's last four classes are:
2014: #30
2015: #41
2016: #43
2017: #46
That's not a positive trend. And in each year, ASU had a more highly ranked class. Worse, AZ's classes have been ranked behind those of middling programs like Kentucky, WSU, Colorado, and Minnesota, none of which are really football powers.
Yes, the difficulties that RR has had certainly has impacted the classes, and I'd have to guess the blame would be put there rather than on anything Dudek is doing.
At the end of the day the Head Coach is the program's main recruiter and the players' main draw to the program. The Director of Recruiting just keeps track of everything on the Head Coach's behalf full time.
Is his recruiting exceeding expectations? Is it better than the previous years? Don't know and don't care to look it up, but I would bet my MGoPoints the answer is "yes" to both questions.
Plus, Arizona ain't exactly a traditional national power.
Arizona football is a really hard sell.
1) In-state rival that is often rated #1 party school (ASU)
2) USC and UCLA in division. At one point, Arizona had just one player on its entire roster that USC offered. If an AZ prospect blows up, he gets poached.
3) Branded as a basketball school (should be a great season upcoming--#1 in most pre-season rankings!)
4) RR's scheme generally causes him to target players who because of size aren't on average rated as highly
5) RR's scheme isn't very unusual or sexy anymore, and there's a lot more sexier options out there that offer substantially the same thing. These recruits are forgetting/too young for Pat White/WVU success
6) RR's best season at AZ: blown out in the conference championship game a couple years ago (lack of winning/success generally)
7) hot seat.
People who follow AZ recruiting always considered Dudek a strong asset.
8) Profit
The problem at Arizona is probably not the recruiting coordinator. I think the biggest qualification for a recruiting coordinator is to not send misspelt thank you notes to kids that weren't at the BBQ.
That's harsh... Funny, but harsh.
Spell, spelling, spelled, etc.
Please spell his name correctly. Rich Roriguez, no D.
how'd that turn out?
This guys' obviously a Dude
You can never have enough Dude's!
First knee jerk reaction is it's a really underwhelming hire. He's now got to go head to head with Ohio State's recruiting program. Good luck
I agree. Every single coach and player matters vs Ohio. I guess I'll go with "In Harbaugh We Trust" here...
Damn you guys are fools
He was named FootballScoop's "Director of Player Peronnel of the Year" in 2014.
pipe down a bit and give the guy a chance.
Well with the support of the impeccable FootballScoop in tow...
to be respected across college football as a relentless recruiter. There's a reason Ohio State and Alabama recruit the best. 1. They win. 2. They have a large staff of talented people whose sole job it is to bring in the best talent in the country. Dudek is good at his job.
My man, I am not knocking Dudek/the hire. I'm not sure what in my comment gave you that impression. I trust Jim implicitly in his evaluations of staff and players.
My comment is only mocking the value of an endorsement from FootballScoop.
Article from Feb. 2016 on Dudek's role with Arizona. I totally forgot that Chris Singletary went to AZ after getting the boot from Harbaugh.

the same rag that predicted Y2K. I own a yak farm because of those jerks.
I must've gotten confused because of the dudes knocking the hire in comparison to OSU. I started drinking early.
My favorite is chocolate chip mint
he's going to have far greater resources than at his last job.
A followup question since I am having trouble understanding the basis of your criticism -
What the hell does this even mean? As someone said, the head coach is ultimately the face of recruiting, so is this a jab an the overall organization of recruiting at Michigan or Harbaugh or what? Honest question.
Yeah, I feel like Coldwater's post contains some kind of hidden joke that I can't decipher.
I agree. He's got no shot...not only does Arizona not come close to OSU, but it's in a whole different time zone.
We're doomed.
