Sorry, didn't mean for that to sound like you were a moron.  I meant every journalist.  I was looking at Skip Baylis when I wrote that.

so I'm new here but I've been reading this blog for about a year. i live about 45 min. from Clemson and i've heard this talk all day.He was only at Clemson for 2 years so his ties aren't that strong. We did manage to pull him away from his own school and hometown. Secondly he would just be stupid to leave the winningest program of all time to coach the taters.(they are called taters around here) We are putting in a lot money to our stadium practice facilities and weight room, why would you leave that to go to a smaller school. And I'm not saying he should stay just because we are Michigan and they are Clemson. Also it would be dumb froma financial standpoint. We just put a lot of money into his buyout and contract. Clemson has to pay Bowden 3.5 million. I'm pretty sure Michigan would be asking for Rich to pay his whole buyout if it was to happen. So therefore this will never happen.

He would just be dumb to leave the winningest program in college history to coach what we call down here the taters. And no I don't think he should stay just because we are Michigan. We are putting 228 million into our stadium and we are building a new practice facility and we just put a lot of money into our weight room. These are all things Clemson can't match. Plus we just went through a law suit over a buyout I'm pretty sure we would want that money back from Rod and Clemson has to pay Bowden 3.5 million. So this doesn't make sense from a financial standpoint either.
