It is old news by now that Rich Rodriguez is out as head coach at Michigan. This should not come as a shocker to too many people. Rodriguez compiled a losing overall record in his 3 seasons in the maize and blue, and his lone bowl appearance was an embarrassing 52-14 loss to an underrated Mississippi State team. His teams were known for their porous defense, even though his offense lit up the scoreboard towards the end of his tenure.
So what's next? Michigan faithful are calling for a return to a traditional pro-style offense that used to be synonymous with Michigan football. The logical choice would be Jim Harbaugh of Stanford. Others are calling for the hiring of a coach with Michigan ties. The logical choice would be Jim Harbaugh of Stanford. Michigan fans also want a coach who runs a clean program after having to put up with RichRod and his allegations. The logical choice would be Jim Harbaugh of Stanford. See a pattern here?
But ESPN reports that Harbaugh is unlikely to end up at Michigan. If that is in fact true, the next logical choice for me would be "The Hat," Les Miles of LSU. He is a proven winner in a BCS conference with one national title under his belt (or should I say under his hat?) If that happens, I fully expect Auburn's Gus Malzahn to take over at LSU. As for Standford, could this be the right fit for Boise State's Chris Petersen? He already has the recruiting ties in the area, and we all know he has proven he can run a football program. Also, expect Pitt to make a push for RichRod. Imagine how the annual Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia would enter another level of hatred...
