Top 10 Replacements for Rich Rodriguez if he is Fired from Michigan
Seconded.
Thirdified?
One two three four fiiiiiiiiiiiiiifth
Fortified. For realz
pimple, constantly playing with the thing and squeezing it harder doesn't help.
There, now I have left a fat hanging curve ball for some other wit to hit out of the park . . .
dig up stupid!
By posting on MLive, you're following in the footsteps of other famous posters, like... Tater.
er, uh...
Bleacher Report isn't so much hated as ridiculed. As its name implies, it's a site for fans to write articles on their own teams.
who do not understand BR is the equivalent to this msg board response in newsworthiness or expertise
now when in the hell will someone quote one of my posts and make it NEWS!?
POTATO SALAD!
HAHA Ron English was on the list
Lloyd Carr is giving your avatar a stern glance.
I'm surprised the OP hasn't been negged into the "no posting" point total after the DeAnthony Arnett thread, but perhaps this post will the be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
If RR is fired, we should hire Rich Rodriguez.
Rich Rod.
This picture only applies to CRex threads.
If people think Michigan is struggling now, they are in for a rude awakening if DeBord comes in as head coach. I knew his son in middle school before he took the job at CMU and they moved away, so I like the guy, but look at what he did at CMU and how our offense underperformed while under his control.
Honestly, the only person that I see on that list that there is a mutual interest between them and Michigan is Harbaugh. Everyone else either not proven themselves enough or probably wouldn't be interested.
If RR is fired after this season and Harbaugh isn't the next coach at Michigan, I'm going to be extremely pissed.
Luckily RR is going to go 10-2 and make this a moot point.
Agreed on your last point.
and certainly the last. Their presentation of Michigan is astounding. Michigan isn't a high profile enough job for the BSU coach? Absolutely ridiculous.
I think that Pat Fitzgerald will be very interested. He says he's happy where he is, but that's what everybody says before they switch jobs. Butch Davis was never going to leave Miami. Brian Kelly was going to stay and continue to build the Cincinnati program. Urban Meyer was happy at Utah. Tommy Bowden loved Tulane. Rich Rodriguez was perfectly content at West Virginia.
Until somebody came calling with more money.
I see your point, but Fitzgerald is completely different.
He's young, successful, and coaching the team that he played for only a decade ago. Also, it's not as though Northwestern just randomly picked him up--he got promoted when Randy Walker suddenly died and if that doesn't tie you to a job, I don't know what does.
Do you really think there's any chance he's going to just pack up and not only leave, but join another Big Ten team?
Before Michigan came calling on him?
" Didn't RR coach his Alma Mater".
seeing as we are talking about the state of West Virginia, he very well could have been coaching his alumni also!
Absolutely I think there's a chance. Huge overacheivers like Fitzgerald don't get to where they are in life without a constant desire for improvement. At Michigan, he has a chance to compete for the Big Ten title every year and the national championship maybe a few times a decade. Plus, he'll be making two to three times as much money. That doesn't make it a done deal for Michigan, but I'll bet he'll listen and give it a lot of consideration.
We can have the whole Chicago media base go berserk that Fitzgerald would leave. We'll hear about missing records. Shredders operating 24/7. Fitzgerald's real estate investments gone bad. Coaches laying down in championship games so they can hightail it out of town for better jobs. What fun!
posting stuff about our head coach getting fired is not good for us at all. Enough of the media does this everyday and every other fan base. I understand getting Michigan stuff on this board is the purpose but becareful what you post we have some recruits that come on here and their family as well.
We need to get behind Rich Rod as fans because no one else is right now. Just remember how young this team has been and I think Rich is going to be our coach for a long long time since he will be turning this thing around this year. I wish someone posted something good about our head coach for once. If you like him or not taking shots at him is taking shots at Michigan. Not saying you are with this post so don't take it the wrong way , i'm just tired of the 2 post a day about Rich getting fired from some media outlet!
to silence his critics.
I would only add, "THIS YEAR" to the end of your statement. This year is a must.
I can't wait for you to be proven prescient.
the best response I've read sofar...
Next season can't get here fast enough...
Excuse me.....
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAAHHA
....Almost said that with a straight face.
For being so eloquent on this subject...
with the Charlie Weis pictures.
Charlie Weis wasn't an option...
Maybe because he would have taken up spots 10-7.
The irony here is that you clowns are attacking me for linking to website that you've apparently vistied more far times than I ever have.
No, we don't visit there regularly. We've just had people posting links from that site to MGoBoard for close to two years now. Its track record has been established.
Are you suggesting that we should
- Have a take
(and)
- Don't suck
?
So you saw this ridiculous article on a web site mostly noted around here for the giving any yahoo that ability to post ridiculous articles and came to the conclusion you needed to show all of us how ridiculous it is?
and shut up already
any list that includes Debord, English, or Miles is a fuckcluster. Debord wouldn't be a quality HC for a middle school program. English won't get a look. LSU wants to dump Miles on his ass right about now.
Here's another winner (one of many... worthy of Lisa Horne) on that site:

Those morons need to learn how to better conceal their wishful thinking.
I dont think I want to hear about RR replacement until its November and the team is .500
untill then its people trying to be cute and noisy at the same time. I mean, Bleacher Report? Why bother with them? I'll chalk it up to your first day surfing the world wide web. From now on, dont pay any attention to whatever their "writers" write.
>>until its November and the team is .500
You mean UNLESS, not "until," right?
Check out this article by Timothy Saunders, who looks suspiciously like an mgoblogger:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/386676-top-10-reasons-why-rich-rodrig...
I don't really love any list that includes Rich Rod's histroy in year 3 and Attitude as reasons we'll improve. The first one, ok fine, but that's in different situations, in general you should look at his history as a successful coach and ability to build programs, not at the timeline that he had that success in. The second one, I think that's bullshit. I think these guys are motivated, and pissed off, and are gonna play with there nuts swinging, but I don't really know how that's different from last year. I think they were hungry enough last year, and I think they'll stay on that same level of hunginess this year.
LOL. New words formed every second on MGoBlog!
Dad?
The following is one Bleacher Report writer's opinion of Michigan's QBs after watching the Spring Game, copied verbatim.
It's really too early to say who leads in this race. I would be surprised if Tate Forcier doesn't get A LOT of playing time vs. Connecticut but Denard has a legitimate chance to start.
Gardner did make a few mistakes and may redshirt...then again he might not! Ultimately I believe Denard Robinson will see the most snaps this season but won't be forced into the role, as Tate Forcier will get at least one good crack at it.
The bottom line is that competition breeds better play on the field. The best man will win the job, and quarterback play will definitely be elevated for the Wolverines in 2010!
In Bleacher Report style: You may want to take their articles seriously. Then again, it is possible that their writers are full of shit.
What does that even say?
Fantastic paraphrase. NOW I see how insightful that article truly was {smirk}
going to State College for a prime time game undefeated!! Good to dream in MAY!
That is very possible and I have a feeling we are going to be playing a "White- Out" game with something on the line. I really think we can get PSU this year. I'm glad we didn't get Newsome he looks awful from what I saw on TV. Also everytime one of my PSU friends/famliy brings up how bad Michigan is , I reply with good luck on 3rd and long this year.
Gameplan to beat PSU stop Royer all season and let Newsome beat you. I love reading how bad Michigan is going be everyday in the press but what is funny to me is these so called experts think Illinois, MSU, Purdue and Northwestern and PSU are going to be better? 3 of these 4 teams have new qb's who barely have seen the field and we have 2 guys that have played as true freshman. We are so far ahead of them....Also Marve playing at Miami is a wash since he has not seen game action in almost a year and half.

lolwut
Samantha wonders if people get the awesomeness that is this post.
After the team's performance next year their will be no threads like this anyway.
Why do I keep seeing "Rodriquez" spelled with a Q? That's not, like, what it is, man.

I always let nicknames of rival sports teams affect my perception of movies. Hating the NY Yankees always kept me from liking Saving Private Ryan, Notre Dame ruined The Departed, and don't get me started on all those Hollywood blockbusters about Buckeyes.

18. Phil Jackson (Wins championships)
17. Greg Robinson (Brings a defensive mind to a struggling Michigan defense)
16. Urban Meyer (Why the hell not)
15. Urban Myer (could trick recruits to thinking he is the real Urban Meyer while not being such a douche)
14. Jon Gruden (Because, hell, I actually think that would be cool. Plus he's Chucky)
13. James Cameron (A lot of people like Avatar)
12. Mike Hart (He has expressed interest and who cares about experience)
11. Bill Belichick (Has done a good job in the NFL, and might be able to bring in Tom Brady)
According to ESPN, Bob Stoops hasn't officially denied that he's interested.
This article is beyond ridiculous. I actually thought it was a joke at first.
Ron English? Mike Debord?
While I don't think either to get the job in such a situation, I would, if only out of respect for Lloyd, expect both to at least get a call. I'm pretty sure after Lloyd retired he wanted English to take his place.
Besides, nothing wrong with a little Ole English every now and then
