OT? RR on the huge show right now.

I didn't hear the interview, but the point made above about Rich needing to be reflecting on what he can do differently for Arizona is a great point. Granted, he isn't as likely to be talking about that on a radio show broadcast back in Michigan. On the other hand, the Gibson  hiring is ominous.

He's gotta recruit defense and impact size on defense like he means it. USC will score 100 points on them if he approaches defense recruiting like he did here. Those other offenses will clean up in that conference too. 

I hope he learned that. Watching his intro press conference, it sure seemed like a guy that was set on proving himself the genius once again. For Arizona's sake, you have to hope that doesn't mean he will try to ram the WVA square approach into the big conference round hole.  That strategy won't end well for him or his program.

At some point, he's going to have to be an adult and refuse to answer questions about Michigan, quit making hypothetical "what if" predictions about Michigan, get over it, and focus on his job at Arizona.  And a good way to start that would be to quit taking interview requests from media outlets and radio shows in Michigan.

We moved on, we're in the BCS, everyone is on the same page with Hoke and co., and he's got himself a new program to worry about.  Enough is enough.

uh oh, rich rod drama...

RR still has not learned how to deal with the media.  You would think with his experience here, Three and Out, and a year at CBS that he would be more media savvy.  Hoke is way better than him at handling these situations.  He needs to stop making excuses about his time at Michigan and focus on Arizona, or he is going to be unemployed in 3 years again.

People asked him before the season and he said this team had a lot more talent, depth, and experience and could/should be expected to win 10 or so games.  Everybody got mad at him then and said he was trying to undermine Brady Hoke by raising expectations to absurd levels that no mortal could possibly achieve.  The team won ten games, easily could have won them all, and now people are still mad at Rich Rodriguez for thinking he built a really good team here.

We were lucky enough to hire two great head coaches in a row.  The only people who need to move on are the ones who are still angry because they think Rich Rodriguez ruined Michigan football.

for the current coaching staff. Great job, keep it up. Go Blue.

I have grown weary of this movie.

Not to get too wrapped up in the past, but it is interesting to look back on the season and wonder how it would have gone with RR at the helm.  I like the guy and don't like all the hate talk directed toward him.  I have to admit though, I wonder if he really could have pulled off 10 wins.  I just don't think so, personally.  Moar points scored throughout the season? Probably.  But moar points scored on us (even if he had brought in GERGs replacement)? Also, probably.  Also for example, does the team beat Ohio with RR as coach? I don't know, no one does. But it can be interesting to speculate on how things would have gone with our ex in command.

Here's one thing RichRod needs to change: stop agreeing to interview requests from Michigan media outlets. 

then I'm convinced he'll bomb out at Arizona. He clearly has no idea what a good defense is or how to build one or how to get rid of Tony Gibson.

We relied on the D a lot during MSU, Illinois, Nebraska and Ohio State. No way we would've been able to do that on RR. He needs to stop talking (apparently he hasn't learned that one either)

I'm only interested in talking about coaches that coach for Michigan.
