He's definitely brought a new attitude into the program which will likely benefit it in the long run. However, everything he's done so far has shown that he is a bit of a douche. Smear campaign? Claiming he owed nothing to WVU despite having signed a binding document stating otherwise? Classless. As such, I'm not sure if his presence will wind up being a good thing or a burden. Only time will tell. <BR/><BR/>As a related point, it was certainly a good move for his career. He gets to coach for his alma mater, coach against some of the toughest coaches in the game (namely Jim Tressel and Bret Bielema), and he's at an institution with more money disposed to its football program.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502350985835869354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144078016221098458.post-9438011841522255112008-07-09T17:14:00.000-05:002008-07-09T17:14:00.000-05:00Unlike Brian I tend to think Rich Rod is a very go...Unlike Brian I tend to think Rich Rod is a very good hire for Michigan. He's changing the culture up there in Ann Arbor, very similar to what 'ol Bo did back in the day according to those who were there. They'll definitely be more fit, he'll run 'em to death. Of course just because he's a good coach doesn't make him less of a d-bag.Justin Cateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491881987890926778noreply@blogger.com
