So what’s the deal with this new Michigan coach? I don’t care who he is or where he comes from. Will he win, or not?

I think Rodriguez will do fine. I’m not entirely sure it will be this season that he turns it around however.

They lost most their talent don't have a QB. They thought they had the big name QB prospect, but he went elsewhere. Michigan will be lucky if they lose less than 4 games.

They were better off with the old coach who was a class act.
Problem is that when it comes to Ohio state vs. Michigan, you’re only judged on if you win that single game. You can win every game of the season but one, get to a major bowl game and win it, but if you’re the loser of that last game of the regular season, your season is considered a complete failure. Lose that game 2+ games in a row and your most likely fired.

Lloyd Carr could of lost every game last year, but if he beat Ohio State, he would still be the head coach this year. Sounds crazy, but that how psychotic the rivalry between the two schools are.

****Will he win, or not?****

Not initially. It all depends on does he establish a good relationship with Michigan high school coaches etc and can he recruit the best players in MI, northern Ohio and PA. Michigan taking a big gamble with this guy. The spread offense is the in-thing right now. We'll see if it works in Ann Arbor or not. Maybe it will pay off or maybe it will blow up in his face. I suspect the UM ALumni has this guy on a very short leach.

“I don’t care who he is or where he comes from”

Are you ready to see Michigan run the spread offense?
