Rich Rod has officially left the building(state).

but don't forget RR really wanted pryor.

to correct your post. You concluded your first sentence with a period when it is clearly a question. This is only one error of many. To answer your question, it's both/and. It is a blog where everyone must write properly without making mistakes. I, for one, am proud of reading a Michigan football blog whose users are scrutinous of grammar and spelling.

It's not a shot at UM to say that he would have been successful this past year. Whether or not it is an accurate assessment is a different debate. No, Coach Rod wasn't the only coach in America who couldn't beat Toledo, and no, you probably couldn't have coached us to a victory. You're being dramatic and hyperbolic. He's a good man, he's gone, let him be.

I cared then and I care now because Rich worked with a passion to make Michigan Football better.  In the end it didn't work out but I will never hate the man for trying his best.

Kanye says "that shit cray!"

You have an awful lot of certainty that you know things that you cannot possibly know. And you seem to care an awful lot about things that, in the grand scheme, don't matter all that much. And you are very critical of people who do not share your opinion.

I conclude from these observations that you are a young person. Wait until you get married, get divorced, have children, suffer one of them getting seriously ill, watch your parents die, or have one of a thousand other experiences that make life trying for adults. Then I encourage you to re-read your post and understand at how juvenile and petty you sound.

My own view? I believe that Rich Rod is a flawed but fundamentally decent person. I believe that he tried hard at Michigan, failed, and is still bitter about how things went down. I see no reason to laud him as some sort of supernatural martyr or to piss on his grave.

over Appalachian State too. Damn, I wish you had been our coach instead of LC.

It's not every day that you see an Arizona Wildcats truck driving through Saline. I found it interesting in the fact that I was witnessing the literal final act in the Rich Rod Era. That's all.

Write what a risk coming to one of the greatest draws in the NCAA and taking it from the top to the toilet. Yeaaaaah thank you fuckface.

Practically every RR post for the past year has been useless, but they can still be a hell of a lot of fun.  They're kind of like after a bad marriage ends. About 50% of the posts are like when  the ex-wife gets remarried, the ex-husband expects the new marriage to fail, because, after all, she's a loser bitch.   About 25% of the posts are like the mother of the bride who thinks the ex-husband never gave her a fair chance, and now that she has a new husband (her 3rd or 4th or maybe even 5th, btw), everything will be just dandy. The rest of the posts, like yours and mine, are bitching about or in some other way commenting on all the other posts.

Well, either that, or in nobody's lifetime on this board has Michigan ever had a head coach of the football team coach another college team after coaching at Michigan (I believe you have to go back to the 1920s with Elton Wieman).  So people are understandably curious about what RR is up to.  Michigan is where coaches end their careers in successful fashion--not where they flame out and try to rehabilitate their reputations somewhere else.

should try eating that shirt. Or any food in general for that matter.
