Was reading on another board that one of there WR's decommitted yesterday. And that another recruit is reported to be quietly shopping.

 

Rumors swirling that RR's people have contacted Clemson.

 

Maybe I shouldn't post this as it is mostly rumor. But I think most of it probably has some truth to it.

 

Maybe worth keeping an eye on...

 

EDIT:

 

It appears two different recruits are quietly shopping

I really hope he doesnt stay at UM. That offense scares the hell out of me.

Meaning RR might want to head to Clemson to coach? That would be pretty odd considering what he just went through with WVU....though I would not put it passed him.

 

If RR can hold on to his QB recruit, UM will be back in 2 years. The problem is that RR is a completely different type of coach than UM has ever had, and he is trying to run a system with players that just don't fit. I would go as far as to say that the only guy on his team that fits is McGuffie.

 

I just hope that Big Will decides to consider ND again, and comes down for a visit. I really want him on our team next year! ....I know, snowball's chance in hell....but a man can dream can't he.

yeah me too. ND has a hard time stopping navy and air force, if RR gets the guys he wants at UM then it will be very hard for ND to beat UM. UM will probbly struggle untill they get that pat white type of QB and then look out.

I hope that he does stay at UM because he is not a good football coach at all, maybe on of the more overrated ones out there. That he hasn't tried to adjust his coaching style a little be more towards the players he does have is a shame....

 

You guys can't forget that maybe UM will get better, but so will we, and we have quiet a head start on them. We will keep recruiting the kind of athletes that can play against the spread, so we will get better at stopping it.

We have been recruiting the LB and DB to defend the spread. IMO, the DLine is the most important for stopping the spread (or any offense really). I remember last year in the Big 12 Championship OU dominated the line of scrimmage in the 2nd half. They held Mizzou to 17 points, just 3 in the 2nd half and only 1 TD. The Mizzou spread is different from DickRods. At WVU, the only reason they lost was because they blew 1-2 games a year with turnovers. His offenses are capable of putting up points on anyone as evidenced by the 48 they put on OU and the 38 they put up on UGA in the past couple years.

It is puzzzling what is going on up there.

i believe we cooled on him. i think he may have gotten a conditional offer b/c of grades. dont quote me on that, but I know that he's been decommitted from Michigan for more than a few weeks and we havent had any interest

RR is recruiting what he wants.

 

he has two QB's that run a sub 4.6 and RB that average 5'10" and 185 all scat backs. I don't think his contract will be condusive to leaving so early. it may cost Clemson way too much.

 

i hope he stays. The guy is not a good coach and will ruin the UM program. They will feel the scorn as we have in the past with the BobTy years.

I'm going to have to disagree with you Irishman part deaux. RR is a good coach. He has won all over the college football landscape. I think that once he gets the correct personnel michigan will be a good team. He boasts a career record of 107-66-2, which is a win percentage of .6171. I hope I am wrong, but he can coach.

Yesterday ESPN's Scott Van Pelt reported that RR hasn't signed his contract, he's working under some sort of "term sheet".

 

Put your lawyer pants on and walk down that road for a minute.

Where else has he won besides rapidly advancing in an incredibly weak system, ie the Big East? If I were a coach, I would take any team in the Big East as my first gig, because I could look like a superstar easily.

You could have said the same about Urban Meyer, who coached at Bowling Green and then Utah before going to Florida, while i think he is a less than respectable man, he does know how to coach. I feel the same about Rich Rodriguez. I really don't like him, but personally preference doesn't affect that I think he understands football. Only time will tell which one of us is correct.

I love it Sir John. The more turmoil the better. I think we'll kick their a** next year as well. If anything RR should be worried about us.

Heh, heh, heh Germany. Your accurate, the more turmoil the better for those guys. Reminds me some of the Abbot and Costello routine of "Whose on first base."

 

Respectfully I disagree with some of you on RR coaching abilities. Being from the state, and my alma mater, being the other big school in WV, I have had to painfully watch him build a program as my alma mater, has slunk in the other direction.

 

He has won just about every where he has coached (OC at Clemson and Tulane if my memory serves me). He did the same thing with the WVU as he is doing with UM. He installs his system and lives with the growing pains for about a season and a half. Once he finds his QB that is quick and understands his roll, watch out!

 

Ask any WVU fan how good a coach his is...most will ignore the question and just tell you that Bill Stewart sucks.

I guess I should've expected this.

RR is a great coach when it comes to "His" system. He is one of the best (if not the top dog) at running the spread. There is no doubting what will happen at UM if RR can get his guys in house.

 

My issue with RR is that as a "football" coach, he sucks. He is unable to adjust his system to his players, so you have to live with growing pains. He has the players in place right now to be a 10 win team, but because he is unable to run an offense that fits his players, they could be a 10 loss team.

 

I am scared that 3 or 4 years from now, Michigan could be almost unbeatable. RR was able to turn WVU into a powerhouse by recruiting mostly lower ranked guys. If he stays at Michigan, he will have nationally recruited players at every position.

thats exactly what im worried about too. could you imagine what UWV would've done if they had an offense and defense with four and five star recruites, your right they wouldv'e been unbeatable.

Why are you guys acting like UM is the only team that will get better ? The spead offense is not some mythical monster, the more teams that employ it, the more times you see it, the easier it is to stop. ND, OSU, etc... will have nationally recruited players at every position too, its not like the rest of the college football world is going to stand still because RR is at UM.

thats true but look at navy's offense. we play navy every year and ND still struggles to stop or even slow down their running game.
