Please stop

If he manages to ever get a truly solid defense it will be the first one in a long, long time. If ever.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
gone?
August 27th, 2016 at 12:06 PM ^
He could have hired Brady!

August 27th, 2016 at 8:22 AM ^
Tacky.
August 27th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
Best part - the kids playing for RR now we're between 2 and 6 years old when Gladiator came out. That's, like, a classic movie reference, eh bro???
August 27th, 2016 at 8:24 AM ^
He's having fun again.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:27 AM ^
I'm just glad those years are over.

I don't know if this makes you a sadist, or a masochist. But either way, I'M NOT INTERESTED!!!
August 27th, 2016 at 12:07 PM ^
I don't know, this kinda makes me feel even better about our current situation.
August 27th, 2016 at 8:31 AM ^
most of whom (RR in particular) aren't that buff to be going around in tunics. possibly a significant copyright violation. other than that, it's great...
August 27th, 2016 at 9:29 AM ^
Not a copyright violation. Parodies are protected. See the Downfall parodies as a good example of what you can do.
August 27th, 2016 at 8:34 AM ^
Cute, but are there only 10 players on his team? Umm, well, yeah. That seems right...
August 27th, 2016 at 8:57 AM ^
He plays Brady Hoke's Oregon defense this year. So a 10-man team seems about right.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:07 AM ^
If Oregon's defense runs a play with only ten guys on the field, Hoke should be immediately fired. He has more 10-man plays in his 4 years at Michigan than I'd bet guys like Harbaugh, Saban, and Meyer have had in their whole careers.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:51 AM ^
this is all kinds of moronic. Hoke didn't have any "10 man plays", there were two instances where a player didn't realise he was supposed to be on the field for a special teams play. this is no different than when there there are 12 men on the field, which is a penalty I've seen dozens of times in college and in the nfl. sometimes a breakdown in communication happens, doesn't mean it was Hoke's fault.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:14 AM ^
I'm absolutely positively sure that there were more than 2. There may have been two during one game in 2014 alone.
I won't disagree that players forget or get confused on when to go on or come off the field. Occasionally. But Hoke consistently fielded the least-prepared teams I've ever seen. There's nothing moronic about criticizing a coach whose teams have consistent problems lining up correctly - the only debate is whether it's on Hoke's shoulders directly, or indirectly for failing to hire competent assistants.
Your thought process doesn't convince me. I am open to debating this, but you'll have to do better than an insult, a figure which doesn't match my memories, and blaming the players. I'll call your thinking the "we just failed to execute" defense...
August 28th, 2016 at 11:05 AM ^
on special teams yes
August 27th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
I've said it before here: RichRod's Arizona experience is giving us a good idea of what he could do with a clean slate. I don't think anyone believes he has people working against him at U of A, but he's still fielding a lousy defense and reaching too often for flaky recruits. Needless to day, I'm much happier with Harbaugh. The Hoke vs. Rodriguez comparison is more interesting to me. I'd like to see what Brady could do at an Arizona equivalent with his second-tier assistants.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:03 AM ^
to be the 2nd winnginest coach in Arizona Football history. That's how bad Arizona footbal history has been with occasional 9-10 wins seasons. Rich Rod is the only coach to have 4 consecutive winning seasons at Arizona.
Arizona is a hard place to recruit because no one wants to come to the desert to play football.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
He's not a bad coach overall (even if he is terrible defensively). But he's also not the elite difference-maker we thought we were getting in 2007.
Here's his yearly D-I records:
2001 - 3-8
2002 - 9-4
2003 - 8-5
2004 - 8-4
2005 - 11-1
2006 - 11-2
2007 - 10-2
2008 - 3-9
2009 - 5-7
2010 - 7-6
2012 - 8-5
2013 - 8-5
2014 - 10-4
2015 - 7-6
That's a solid overall body of work. But only the 2005-07 stretch really stands out. We thought he might be able to win at that level in the long run, but it seems now that that was a bit of an outlier caused by the Big East being down (Miami and Va Tech had just left) and his offense being new to college football.
August 28th, 2016 at 11:07 AM ^
says who? many want to play football I Arizona. and there's good talent out west
August 27th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
Yes, because the recruiting capabilities of Arizona and Michigan are exactly on parallel. And I love how fans here say shit all the time like "football didn't start when you started beating us" and encourages a long memory. Winning the Pac-12 South was a HUGE accomplishment just the season before last. Now it's a "what have you done lately?" world the minute it suits you.
Fuck you and the idiots upvoting this.
August 27th, 2016 at 3:29 PM ^
He really struggles at not being an asshole. And I'm someone that didn't like what Brandon did to RichRod.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:03 AM ^
Starring Rich Rodriguez as the Spaniard!
August 27th, 2016 at 8:45 AM ^
...just...wow (and not in a good way).
August 27th, 2016 at 8:46 AM ^
That was painfully embarrassing to watch
August 27th, 2016 at 9:31 AM ^
Also... seems like a heavy dose of Top Gun going on there if y'all know what I mean.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^
Did that really happen?
August 27th, 2016 at 11:27 AM ^
I will 100% guarantee that it was Rita's idea.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:14 AM ^
I don't know man, I thought it was awesome. I'd probably hate it if that was something Michigan did, but that video was 100% pure entertainment.
The first shot of Rich Rod in gladiator garb - priceless.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:22 AM ^
Video looked like a circle jerk where RR had the biscuit.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:48 PM ^
might need swords.
August 27th, 2016 at 8:56 AM ^
Nope. Not hardly.

August 27th, 2016 at 9:28 AM ^
Stop. This is actually cool. Some of you sound like the uncool people who shat on Harbaugh's rap video.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:30 AM ^
Dave Brandon should have played the emperor in this video.
