Is Rich Rodriguez the Michigan version of Charlie Weis and John L Smith?
Granted, he isn't 500 pounds and doesn't slap his star players, but looking at his first two teams, there is an noticeable similiarity.
He is an offensive "genius" like Weis and Smith. But also like those forgettable two, his teams play very little defense.
Unless Gerg can turn around the defense, RichRod will share the same fate as the aforementioned duo---unemployed.
Offense maybe Rich's calling card, but it will the defense that will define his tenure at UM.

Posts like this make me wish it was August of 2010.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
concur.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:32 PM ^
at least it got you to reply. i am then
always left wondering: who is the chick
in the mike hart shirt?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:52 PM ^
So this is where the hot chick thread started.
December 1st, 2009 at 11:52 PM ^
who is she?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:31 PM ^
Rich Rod is our coach...Michigan will be back...end of story! Accept it and embrace it!
Go BLUE!

I will watch and root for Rich Rodriguez until the day he is chased out of Ann Arbor, but seriously I'm starting to worry about him. A lot.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:41 PM ^
WHY!?! WHY!?!
The above also relates to the topic at hand.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:44 PM ^
This guy spends most of his time on Rivals.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:43 PM ^
....and until August 2010 people are going to beat this horse until there is nothing left but dust. The rest of us will be pulling our hair out and on the verge of seppaku.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
shut up.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:23 PM ^
Are we really going to have the lack-of-depth, three-coordinators-in-three-years, young-players-starting-over-regressing-return-players arguments again?
December 1st, 2009 at 11:53 PM ^
until we see concrete results, one way or the other.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:23 PM ^
seriously?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:23 PM ^
Hit this guy upside the head!!??
December 1st, 2009 at 9:24 PM ^
Please make it stop!
December 1st, 2009 at 9:26 PM ^
Rodriguez has shown noticeable improvement from year 1 to year 2. The other guys didn't.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
When will it end?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
Why post this seriously...
December 1st, 2009 at 9:28 PM ^
What answer are you looking for? No one hear is going to agree or answer yes. Yes the defense has struggled, but we have already discussed this and we seem to be heading in a direction that will show improvement.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:34 PM ^
It seems 97 mgopoints is an awful lot of effort for a troll to gain credibility. You are a troll, right?
[EDIT]: 92 mgopoints (and, I'm guessing going down)
December 1st, 2009 at 9:38 PM ^
found some old threads and posted a bunch of crap where he knew nobody would ever look for the source of pointage, building up the appearance of a supportive fan.
?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:33 PM ^
One of the biggest downsides of missing a bowl game will be the constant "will Rich Rodriguez succeed at Michigan" threads (in all variety of forms) that we will endure during the offseason. It almost makes me miss the days when we all argued about why Rodriguez recruits only three -star players.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
True, but boneheads like the OP would post inane crap like this regardless of a coming bowl game or not.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:01 PM ^
It is foolish not to note the similiarities at this stage. But do note the question mark. That indicates concern, not belief.
I didn't say that he was either of those,just that at this point the trend is cause for concern.
You and many ithers are greatly overreacting to my post.
December 2nd, 2009 at 12:42 AM ^
need to be indicated every goddamn day?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:34 PM ^
You will get negged, but your point may just be valid if we don't get noticeably better in two years. With that said, no he is not like the other two.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:36 PM ^
can we just remove this thread so as to make more room for k06em01 to post?
December 1st, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
No let them debate the subject, it could become the biggest Negfest since "Members Only"
December 1st, 2009 at 9:44 PM ^
This post is what happens when children like the OP get to stay up past their bedtimes.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:54 PM ^
I am a diehard UM fan who is disturbed by the lack of success under Richrod.
Yes, the team has improved. But considering how awful the Big Ten is, 1-7 should be bother anyone who has followed UM football for any length of time.
Note that I did not call for him to be fired or went off on a irrational rant. All I did was to make a comparison to coaches at two of UM's biggest rivals.
I hope to God that he proves to be different, but I am becoming concerned that RichRod is a titanic flop.That is all that I wished to express.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:57 PM ^
Those thought are not allowed public. You sir have just walked onto the platform at Tiananmen Square and bashed the Chinese Goverment.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:06 PM ^
look, we appreciate your fandom but we're all sick of these same posts. literally multiple times a week someone posts something exactly like this. we. don't. know. if. he. will. succeed. we're. not. psychic.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
Maybe not psychics, but that one guy's girlfriend was a witch, and her tarot cards said that he'd be fine.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:37 PM ^
huzzah! but only u and I know. lets not ruin it for everyone...
I'm about to post a forum about how many of these posts we will see between now and the first game.
December 1st, 2009 at 11:25 PM ^
Are you dating Jemele Hill? Only someone who takes her with credibility would bring this shit up...
December 2nd, 2009 at 12:44 AM ^
...of the exact same in the last 5 weeks...
December 1st, 2009 at 9:55 PM ^
8-4 is the minimum for RR not to get the old heave-ho in 2010.
That's all I have to say about that...
December 1st, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
Wow! I didn't know our next athletic director posted on this forum!
December 1st, 2009 at 10:04 PM ^
I am officially making it my duty to count how many of these threads get posted between now and the first game.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:12 PM ^
Perhaps you should keep a tally of them as your signature.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:16 PM ^
can you count to see how many "all-in for richrod" threads get posted too?
December 1st, 2009 at 10:22 PM ^
yes, and yes! hell of an idea!
December 2nd, 2009 at 1:19 AM ^
Starting at 2:40 on the video:

Just thought it was appropriate considering your intended exercise.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:06 PM ^
YES FIRE HIM AHHH LES HARBAUGH 2010!
December 1st, 2009 at 10:07 PM ^
version of Poole1Dan?
Yeah, and the difference between Weis and Rodriguez being labeled offensive genius is that RICH RODRIGUEZ ACTUALLY HAS A PROVEN COLLEGE TRACK RECORD.
I normally, don't call people names, but you are a fucking retard.
December 1st, 2009 at 10:09 PM ^
Bury the r-word, yo.
