It looks more and more likely that Rich Rod is going to be out at Michigan. C'mon down Jim Harbaugh!
I think the stench of Rich Rod's failures will cover up any negative feelings still left about those comments.
Hearing from reliable sources that ASU's head coach will be out the door after this weekend. I assume we'll go through a proper coaching search but will end up back on our Offensive Coordinator, Hugh Freeze. His offense is largely responsible for our successes this year, he loves the area, and I imagine he can come cheap enough. The only concern I would have is where he would get his assistants from. His only head coaching jobs before were at a high school and at an NAIA school.
Hugh Freeze....what a great name.
Only a rumor at the moment, but there is talk starting about Jon Gruden and Miami (FL) possibly being close to a deal that will pay Gruden $3 million per year. No clue if the rumors have even a tiny bit of veracity to them or if they are purely 100% hopeful wishes by people or what, but it's floating around right now.
Still no word from Arkansas State regarding Steve Roberts, however he did manage to do something yesterday that is at least interesting... by losing yesterday, he finished the final six games of the season at 2-4. He's managed to finish the last six games at 2-4 for 8 of his 9 seasons. The only season he managed to break that streak was 2005 when Arkansas State went to the New Orleans Bowl.
I would expect Rich Rod to be dumped at some point with Jim Harbaugh coming back to coach Michigan. I do think Rich Rod's offense is fun to watch and can be successful in the Big 10+2 but I also think it's not quite as good as some made it out to be this year. Tough defenses tended to slow it down quite a bit because Denard couldn't pass well enough if the running game got stuffed. He will get better. But Rich Rod's excuses, his terrible defensive recruiting and his stupid 3-3-5 scheme need to be dumped.
North Texas set to hire Dan McCarney, former Iowa State head coach and current associate head coach at Florida.
Some reports had Gruden to Miami for $3.4M a year, but now it sounds like he is staying at ESPN. Perhaps they hire Mike Leach like some wanted them to try and do in 2007.
Wow, isn't that a step backwards?
