    I am amazed at you so called faithful Meeechigan fans. Why do you think Rich rod was going to win in his first year with out of shape, mid level players Coach Lloyd left remaining? I will guarantee you give him 4 years and you will be playing or in the hunt for a National Championship every year! He has his stubborn ways but he has won everywhere he has been. Why should he not win? All you have to do is beat an overrated OS Buckeyes team since they are the only competition in the Big 10. I wish you would run him out of town, WVU fans would love to have him back. Mark your calendar for the National Championship game in 2011. in the end you will be kissing his ass!

    I'm a diehard Michigan fan and with my eyes wide open prior to this season I new that this would not be a typical year for Michigan football. Show some patencies and give the new coaching staff and players the time they need to adjust.

    Within one to two years they will be  back vying for not only a Big Ten title but the BCS Championish (wich they will win unlike "THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY").

    Rich Rod rocks and this is just the tip of the ice berg.

     

    GO BLUE!!!

    rrod needs to be fired asap. How do you take the winningest

    team to this and expect to keep your job? WV was not that good of a team when he started there they needed to rebuild, michigan did not need to rebuilt before he got here. That is what they get for hiring a non michigan guy I guess.

    As a Michigan fan, I agree with some that say RichRod is an arrogant ass. As far as Coach Lloyd leaving the cupboard bare, it might be noted our new coach chased off the heir apparent QB. He not only doesn't appear to know what he is doing, but rather than take a look at what he had, he chose to try his WV offense, knowing he did not have the players to run it. Effectively saying, screw you, players, fans and anyone else. I will run my team into the ground, no matter what. A true butt wipe, if I ever saw one. Pryor saw the hand writing on the wall, and went with OSU, that has a proven coach, not some maybe coach.

You'll hear that Rodriguez was never fully compatible with the old diehards who perceive their precious program a certain way and don't want change. Of course if these guys had their way , Rodriguez would already be gone.
