I said before that I'm not sure what the right move is in regards to Rich Rod. UM has improved the win total each year yet their defense has regressed, to an unprecedented level. It's conceivable, and likely, that if it weren't for a shot-in-the dark, once-a-decade talent like Denard, UM would've been in the same place they were last year -- home for the bowl season.
I get the feeling the Rich Rod will be shown the door after the bowl game on January 1. I ask myself what possible benefit could come from waiting until after the bowl game to make a decision, which is what the UM A.D. has decided to do. Is Rich Rod's job really hinging on the outcome of one game? you win you stay, you lose you go? No way. If the decision was made to retain Rich Rod then just say it, let everyone know, including the recruits. Firing Rodriguez is cheaper for UM after Jan.1. Is that the motivation? Not sure, but this might get ugly...unless Harbaugh comes to town.
