Like so many coaches in the past, Rich Rodriquez is now on the world wide hot seat.  Internet tools have now taken their own steps toward the firing of Michigan’s first year head coach.  The website  http://www.firerrod.com is now up and running, complete with list of reasons Rich should be fired, clothing items to support Dick’s impeachment, as well as a count down to the end of Les Miles’ contract with LSU.
 

Although the former West Virginia head man is struggling this season with the Wolverines, it’s too soon to be calling for his head.   Combine a completely new offense with too many starting true freshman and you have a recipe for disaster for any coach at any program.

There’s already rumors flying that RR is going back to his old school, Clemson, to take over for the departed Thomas Bowden.  Perhaps West Virginia wants Rod back after their dismal start.  The saga continues in what is the greatest soap opera in the world, NCAA college football.

Those who stay will lose to MAC teams.

One of the most talked about off-season coaching hires of 2008 has been under some intense fire since week one.  Former West Virginia coach, Rich Rodriquez, is now the head man at the University of Meeeechigan.  With him, he brings his Fun ‘n Gun, Run n’ Shoot, Fumble n’ Turnover style of offense.  While DickRod has had success in the past using the spread offense, his Wolverines are certainly struggling adjusting to the new system. 

Michigan lost in it’s own Big House on Saturday to 1-4 MAC team, the Toledo Rockets.  The Wolves, with a 2-4 record, face Penn State this weekend who is firing on all cylinders.  While many UM faithful figured the learning curve for Rich’s new offense would be high, no one predicted this.

The Michigan secondary gave up a Michigan Stadium record 20 catches to Rocket WR Nick Moore.  It’s scary to think what the Nittany offense could do next week.

Michigan’s record streak of 33 straight years with bowl game could very well be in jeopardy this year.  Their remaining schedule is no cake walk to 6 wins.
