The Rest of College Football

[UMStan White]

Dickrod also sucked at special teams. He looked like an "offensive genius" because UM's present offense is dead in the water. Hell Hoke went 11-2 with Dickrod's players.

[Paul L]

...and recruited like a MAC coach/program

[UMStan White]

I'm still waiting for those conspiracy addicts to post any "facts" that support the ridiculous notion that Dickrod was and is a great coach and we were "lucky" to have him and if it hadn't been for Lloyd Carr and his minions, Dickrod would still be here winning like Oscar Meyer. Oh..wait.. those are the same people who are camped out in front of the stadium gates waiting for Harbaugh to show up!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Lloyd got Rich Rod hired over Les and then announced to the team that there would be no place for most of them in the new guy's system and that he would happily sign transfer papers for anyone that wanted to go.

He wasn't the right fit for Michigan but anyone that thinks he's no better than Hoke is an imbecile. Hoke hasn't really done shit anywhere he''s been. He just had that 'Michigan Man' charisma that you all know and love and have made a pre-req of the job.

[lineygoblue]

Stan, you can't deny that Rich Rodriguez had a better record than Hoke both before and after he was at Michigan. Those are facts. He was one win away from playing for the national title at WVU, and he has his current team on the brink of winning the Pac 12, .. and oh, by the way, .. his Arizona team has already beaten Oregon .. at Autzen.

The Ducks only loss this year, btw ... a feat that even the mighty Dantonio couldn't pull off ....

Remember Lloyd Carr's last game at Autzen? How about Carr's last game vs Oregon at Ann Arbor?

Rich Rodriguez is a better HC than Brady Hoke.

Proven.

I have yet to see anyone even try to explain how this undermining caused us to give up over 500 yards to Purdue's emergency quarterback in his first start, how it caused us to lose a bowl game 52-14, or how it somehow tricked RichRod into giving out a bunch of scholarships to worthless 3* recruits, many of whom were early offerees and not plan B guys.

It's all hearsay anyways, at best.

Ostrich bullshit. Being a mediocre coach is not mutually exclusive to having a dysfunctioal environment with people sabotaging you. MSC, Carr, Martin and all the rest of them thank you for that post.

^Putin of the forum. If someone says something you can count on Stan to blindly oppose it.

[UMStan White]

Dickrod was one game away from playing for the national title at WVU, playing a losing record Pitt team at home and LOST. Yesterday's victory over ASU was the first in three games over UA's biggest rival, he never beat MSU, never beat OSU, had the worst bowl loss in UM history, ended UM's winning season streak, has the only loss to a MAC team by UM, ended UM's bowl streak (never winning a bowl game at UM), had the worst defense in the history of UM football and has won a DIVISiON title at UA, not a PAC Twelve title). He has yet to win shit at UA.

Oh yeah he's a great coach and its all Lloyd's fault that he sucked for three FUCKING YEARS!!!!! And the best you apologists got is "he's better than Hoke. Hell my 12 year old grandson could outcoach Hoke. Merely because the fat man is a disaster doesn't make Dickrod a great coach.

[UMStan White]

Put your tin hat back on Hack. Incoming message from Jim Harbaugh!

[Jeff Buchanan]

Why are we still talking about this?

Jeez.

[Rocky Bleier]

I watched some of the AZ-AZS game last night and the first thing that jumped out at me was that those teams don't play defense. Both teams just kept scoring at will through sieve-like defenses. Different philosophies than we associate with up here.

I completely agree. I find it hard to watch no-defense football. It looks like those 7 on 7 games the high school kids play in the summer. Rich Rodriguez is in the right conference for him.

[entropy]

and on the opposite side of the equation was the VT/Virginia game...watched the first half and had to turn it off. very poor offensive play

[Mike]

We live in a world where a team (TCU) can give up 61 points in regulation and be a top 5 team. Sparty is a top 10 team and has given up 50+ twice. Welcome to 2014.

[Mike]

Re RR: We know he bombed here but that doesn't change the fact that there were people inside or close to the program that actively sabotaged the program in an effort to run him out of town. The "Michigan Man above all else" faction is who I derisively refer to as the Michigan Mafia and they need to be neutralized.

[hack]

A warning to everyone else -- when you disagree with people just for the sake of it you end up sounding incoherent. We have Stan to thank for a textbook display of this.


Dickrod was one game away from playing for the national title at WVU

That's not helping you make the point that he's a shit coach.


Yesterday's victory over ASU was the first in three games over UA's biggest rival

That isn't either.


has won a DIVISiON title at UA

Next time why not edit out the many things at odds with your purpose?


He has yet to win shit at UA.

You just pointed out two things he's won at UA.


And the best you apologists got is "he's better than Hoke.

Are you suggesting Hoke is better?


Hell my 12 year old grandson could outcoach Hoke.

Might also find it easy to spot how ridiculous your arguments are.


Merely because the fat man is a disaster doesn't make Dickrod a great coach.

CONGRATULATIONS! You finally said something demonstrably true. All that work to counter an argument nobody is making. Job well done!
