loss to a third string QB.  this time to a walk on.  I never thought it would end like this.  but Rod has to be done now.  This should have been an easy win.

Why is it Boise State consistently gets 3 star players and makes them work, we get 3 star players and get nothing out of them. It all leads back to coaching or in our case the lack thereof. I have supported RR, but I have reached the point where it wouldn't hurt my feelings to show him the door tomorrow.

but even if he wasn't, the assumption that Harbaugh would just drop Stanford and come here at the first wink from Brandon is fanciful. Harbaugh has said on many occasions that Stanford is his dream job, and that Palo Alto was always the place he most wanted to be.

Brian explained this week it was all the 2007 recruiting class's fault...

If Rich Rod cries during the press conference after this game he should be fired before he gets back to Ann Arbor. I have never seen a coaching staff look more like a deer in the headlights than this staff and do less to inspire the players on the sidelines.

I have supported RR since the beginning, and i still do. But i thought about harbough as our HC.... and i felt hope

This is Michigan and the 8th game of the year.  Obviously this ain't the Big East!

I'd much prefer UM to run the table (or even run the table except for OSU, or even loose every game but beat OSU).  But I don't think any of these will happen.  

I expect this poor play to continue with aone or two easy wins.  That isn't good enough IMO.  If this happens, I would prefer a coaching change.  I think a coaching change would be needed.  You don't have three Big Ten seasons like this and continue at UM, no matter what your excuses are and no matter how good (inconsistent still) your offense is or might be.  It just won't be good enough.

I don't worry about UM - we will be strong again fairly soon.  If RR stays here long enough, he'll succeed eventually, but I don't think UM should wait that long.

Go Blue!

This is just so bad.......

Dave Brandon meant when he said RR will be here for along time that he would be offered to come back and be our offensive coordinator again. Thats what this guy is.........an OC. But there will be a new guy delivering for Dave Brandon.

at bowl eligibility.  Purdue can't score on anyone.  They will propbably score 35 on us.  If there's anyone that wants to hang 50 on RR it's Danny Hope.  At least Tressel will be a gentleman like he was last year and not run it up too bad.

We just scored, now within 14 and plenty of time left.

If we come back and win this thing I'm gonna laugh my ass off at all you guys calling for RR's head on a platter, and it will make the win that much sweeter.  

Please God, let it be.....  

The reason why I think RR isn't going anywhere is UM's offense is fine

The defense is frustratingly and excruciatingly bad, how much better would Mich be if they could play D? 

Chicago-based Michigan fan here.

Bulls down by 20 to the Pistons at halftime (I know most of you are probably Pistons fans)

Blackhawks tied with the Wild

I turned a Michigan game off in disgust.

I've been a Michigan football fan since I was 9 years old in 1993. Remember Dreisbach to Hayes.

But I'm done.

Sports mean too much to me. And I get too little joy back.

Go Blue. Go Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks.

But I'm done.

See ya on the other side.

I like Craig Roh, but he hasn't made a play since BG.  In fact none of these guys have.  There is no evidence that proves this offense works in the Big Ten and there is no evidence that this staff knows anything about defense.

Bo said it so many times.  BLOCK AND TACKLE.  We are doing neither very well.  We haven't made a serious hit on someone since BG.

coming back.  This one is over

I just don't want being a U-M fan to feel this bad anymore

I wouldn't mind taking either of these guys at this point. I was not a supporter of RR coming to UM, however jumped on board to give him a chance. I just don't see the Defense evolving anymore. Tonight has to be the statement game that tells Brandon, Rich Rod is a great guy, good coach (for the Big East, Mac, etc...) but he just CAN'T win big games. 2007 Ranked #2 losing to PITT. He Beat an Oklahoma team that was comparable to the 2007 Michigan team. 

Harbaugh- Getting him would not make us wait 4 years to get anywhere. I would venture to bet that if he came to Michigan, he would be NO WORSE than 6-6 in his first year. It's not like we don't have Talent. I like a lot of the pieces we have on Defense for 2011. 

D-Line: Martin, Van Bergen, Ash, Talbott, Campbell?

LB's: Roh, Demens, Robinson, Furman

Secondary: Woolfolk, Floyd, Christian, Talbott, 

Alot of them now being upper class men. The Offense would need adjustments. Robinson/Gardner/Forcier are more than adequate QBs. We're still okay at WR/TE. Definitely okay at RB with the new class.

Miles: He could probably handle the Transition better, plus has a National Championship ring. I feel his coaching abilities are not as bad as the LSU forums state. I like his defense, I'm pretty sure he runs a 3-4 which would be fine... Balance vs Power... I think it would be the best Variation for the athletes we have. 

That's just my opinion on the topic. I would love to give Rich Rod a 4th year, but we're honestly going to make a bowl on a 6-6 Year... I would just fire Rod, respectfully decline a Bowl Game- if possible- and move this team in a different, more efficient direction.
