Why do they hate Rich Rod? Their probably losing some big recruits because the (alleged) Big 3 booster money is down for a while until the auto industry comes back.
Probably depends on if they think they can get Harbaugh
That would be great but Harbaugh burned some bridges a few years back for criticizing "the system" at Michigan and all other schools. It was nothing but the truth but still things the NCAA does not want aired in public.
It would be DUMB for U of M to fire RichRod after 3yrs. Come on now, where is the fan support?? He took a fresh fish QB and turned him into a Heisman canidate. Keep in mind he was still workin with some of Carrs men. And new system just cant get goin like that. I know this. Ima Texas Fan.
His Big 10 record is so so...I get that. However the offense is there and the defense will come around. Maybe a stud here or some more compition will turn that around. Remember he took lil WV from ugly orphan to prom queen.
I think he's out. **** him. Any coach that leaves his team right before a BCS bowl is a ****ing doosh. He sucks. UM deserves better.
Leaving before the bowl game was the better for both programs. It allowed WVU to move on in recruiting, and focus on the bowl game, and allowed him to get an early start at U of M. When you fire a coach after the bowl games in January it just puts a damper on the programs. How can you recruit quality players when they don't even know who the head ball coach would be? I say the earlier the better in that case and currently. If Michigan is going to fire him they should do it now and get it over with.
Sure they have made some progress, but will that offense work in the big ten? It surely didn't work against Ohio St or MSU. No wonder the D gives up 400 plus yards per game when they are out there for 3/4's of the game. You can't have a good defense when you offense continues to go 3 and out and fails to put points on the board.
That being said, I don't see them firing him after 3 seasons. They are improving.

I put the players ahead of the programs. I don't think it's cool for a coach to bail on his team before a BCS Bowl. JMO. You think he would have bailed if they would have beat Pitt that year? No way in hell. That shows he didn't do it for the program, he did it for his own selfish reasons. UM will go nowhere with RR.
