Enough Already! Ever since Michigan AD David Brandon hired Brady Hoke in January, there has been an ongoing critique throughout the internets excoriating Hoke’s tough-guy mantra as many things, but mostly anachronistic (See MGoBlog generally or today’s column on Rivals by Jonathan Chait). While I too questioned his hiring, and the manner in which it was [...]

Away We Go As predicted, Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon relieved Rich Rodriguez of his duties as head football coach yesterday. Brandon cited Rodriguez’lack of success over his three year tenure as a primary factor in his decision. In particular, Rodriguez’record against his rivals, or as Brandon put it, the “red letter games” against teams [...]

Rich Rodriguez must know by now that he has just coached his final game at Michigan.

Most (including me) have thought all along that Brandon’s thought process on this was a [...]

The Case Against Rich Rodriguez Michigan head football coach Rich Rodriguez should be fired at the end of the year. The reasons are simple. He has not performed his duties well, and I see little hope that the program will make significant changes next year. While Rodriguez’troubles are not all self-inflicted, he’s done more wrong [...]

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss Michigan State 34 – Michigan 17 As a self-professed “know-it-all” I often relish being right. But not today. Yesterday my beloved Wolverines felt the full thrust of Sparty’s pimp hand, and it was not fun. I predicted that the Spartans would win, but I expected our [...]

Another Season in the Abyss? Michigan 2010 Preview Head Coach: Rich Rodriguez, 3rd Year (8-16) 2009 Record: 5-7 (1-7 Conference) Returning Starters: 15 (8 defense, 7 offense) When I think about the current state of the Michigan football program, I often think: “how did we get here?” It seems like just yesterday I was on [...]

Michigan’s loss on Saturday to the Iowa Hawkeyes was no doubt frustrating. Despite strong performances by several players, the Wolverines played clumsily, surrendering the ball 5 times to their opponent. Despite numerous turnovers, the Wolverines still had an opportunity to win the game late. Here’s a few takeaways: The Good: Michigan’s physical play on both [...]
