RR Named Pac-12 COY

Submitted by UMFanstuckinOhio on

On the same day Hoke gets fired. What has happenned here. Could we look any more dumb today. This is not ment to to start a RR argument, just pointing out that it does not make us look good as a program for potential CC.

 

Edit: ESPN just put this little nugget into their story.

"In a stunning coincidence, Hoke's ouster comes on the same day that it was announced that his predecessor in Ann Arbor, Rich Rodriguez was announced as the Pac-12 coach of the year."

Good for Rich.

He did a terrible job here and deserved to be fired.  Brady also produced terrible results on the field and deserved to be fired as well.  One of those two guys seems like a great guy and I hope he moves on somewhere, eventually, and produces great results.

...and he's proven to be a big winner afterwards.  Hoke was never a proven winner before he came to Michigan and, except for the big first year, has verified that he is a mediocre 0.500 head coach.

Neither succeeded at Michigan but the big difference is that one guy was treated like shit, for the most part, virtually guaranteeing he would not succeed, while the other guy was treated like a savior and failed miserably. 

It's important to acknowledge those facts, but some bloggers here want to simply say they both failed at Michigan and move on.  That's not acceptable.  You have to look at why they were not successful.

Disliking someone's roots, accent, use of profanity, wife, music, and intensity are not  valid reasons for undermining that person or their program but that's what happened here.

I would like to think this university would accept and embrace that type of diversity, but it did not.

Maybe we get a second chance.
