RRod - Job Security?
How much longer will RRod remain in Ann Arbor? He certainly doesn't carry himself like someone who even wantsto be back next season. Certainly UM is going to go hard after Harbaugh on Tuesday morning, but will he take it? I don't think UM goes back to RRod, thats for sure.

Re: RRod - Job Security?
My guess is that they are waiting until after the Orange Bowl to make a serious push with Harbaugh. I think they want to make sure they have him in the bag before they make an announcement. Last time, they swung and missed on Les Miles and had way too much egg on their face. They are looking for a cleaner transition this time.

No way in hell Rich Rod is back there next year. If he is, Michigan is completely retarded.

Re: RRod - Job Security?
About a week.
I wonder if Pitt would consider Rich Rod. I actually don't think he's a bad coach. He had great success at West Virginia and was only given 3 years at Michigan to implement his system. Michigan's problem this year was injuries and terrible defense.

I think Pitt will go with someone without the baggage that RRod has coming from Michigan, possibly someone with NFL coaching experience, although that didn't work out too well with Wannstadt.uostudent wrote:About a week.

He had a good thing going there, but he had to see if the grass was greener on the other side. I bet he wouldn't have done it if he knew the outcomes of his first 3 years at Michigan.Boom wrote:he should have never left west virginia

Re: RRod - Job Security?
I wonder if Steve Mariuchi's name pops up anywhere this offseason. I saw he is coaching at the UA game, but haven't heard his name in the coaching carousel lately. I could see him wanting the Michigan job or perhaps Stanford if that opened up.

Re: RRod - Job Security?
I see it all the time, the "grass is always greener" mentality, I agree why do people leave a good/great thing for a chance at something else, its odd but people make this mistake constantly!Boom wrote:he should have never left west virginia

Re: RRod - Job Security?
I've heard rumors that they may take a look at San Diego State's head coach. He's got a Michigan clause in his contract or something, that allows him to leave if Michigan were to offer the job.briarduck wrote:

There's also the chance that Les Miles may go back. He played for them, and was an assistant coach there in the early 80s. The LSU fans I've talked to are especially frustrated with him and probably wouldn't mind if he left.

I would rather have Les Miles stay at LSU since he'll continue to waste talent.Icculus wrote:I've heard rumors that they may take a look at San Diego State's head coach.

They have FieldTurf in Michigan Stadium so I don't think he'll leave for fake grass.Icculus wrote:I wonder if the grass tastes better in Ann Arbor than it does in Baton Rouge.greenyellow wrote: I would rather have Les Miles stay at LSU since he'll continue to waste talent.

He could always take a patch from around campus and keep it nearby to munch on.greenyellow wrote:They have FieldTurf in Michigan Stadium so I don't think he'll leave for fake grass.Icculus wrote:I wonder if the grass tastes better in Ann Arbor than it does in Baton Rouge.greenyellow wrote: I would rather have Les Miles stay at LSU since he'll continue to waste talent.

Re: RRod - Job Security?
It does sound like they are going after Bolden. Seems like a questionable and expensive choice if this is what they go with. I am surprised that they fired RRod without a solid replacement in the bag.
