Rich Rod never fit the culture, or he could have been dangerous.Mosster47 said:
Cute theory, they won 11 games with the group Rich Rod left behind. Now they are shit. Rich Rod was actually building something from scratch. Hoke is destroying something.Tequilla said:Michigan lost their identity for a bit ... Rich Rod just was a bad fit for their program. They are still paying for it.
Hoke doesn't look like he's the answer ... but he's going to leave a nice foundation for the next guy.
It looks like the players quit on him. -
What I'm saying about Rich Rod is that from a fit standpoint, he was a terrible fit at Michigan. Nothing short of winning a national championship was going to be enough ... and that wasn't happening with what he was doing.
IMO, Michigan is in a tough spot right now as they have a lot of upper class players that were brought in for Rich Rod's system but the impression that I get is that Michigan wants to run more of a pro style spread instead of a read option spread.
Watching Michigan last night, it's very clear that they are poorly coached - particularly defensively. I think it's fair to say that Hoke isn't the answer there. Are they ready to make a change this year? Probably not. Will they most likely be disappointed next year? Good chance.
But IMO, yes, I do think that Michigan is still paying right now for their hiring of Rich Rod ... it was a bad move when they made it. It was a square peg round hole kind of hire.
