Michigan fans thought Lloyd Carr couldn't win the big game...Rodriguez just needed to beat 2 cupcakes the past 2 years to get into the title game/BCS bowl and couldn't. Is he going to bring the zone-read offense with him?? I dunno, it just doesn't seem like Michigan to have a QB running around all over the place.

It's a shame he won't stick around to coach the Fiesta Bowl.

Now UCLA needs to continue plucking BE coaches and land Brian Kelly :cheers:

I dont see this as a hire to beat tOSU.

I personally don't think this is a good fit, but we'll see.

I agree. I do not think a spread like he has would really work at Michigan.

I know a school where he should be at and it would work

I don't think it will work because he is an emotional nut job who can't handle pressure. Welcome to hell, Rich:salut:

Count me in the minority. His Spread Option will work in the Big-10.
Granted, it will take a year or two to get his players in (QB Mallett may look to transfer), so Michigan could get worse before they get better.

But his offense can beat big, physical defenses. And he'll be able to recruit better athletes at UM so his defense should improve as well.

Not ready to put them in the same category as tOSU yet, but not a bad hire.

There is no doubt he will have a potent offense given time, but can navigate through the BigTen and win the big games?
