Great article and this says it all....


Penn State and Ohio State had what their schools may deem as successful seasons. What exactly does that mean? Both teams were humiliated by USC. Penn State only had one other loss, losing to Iowa, and Ohio State put up a good fight in the Fiesta Bowl against Texas. That's it? Michigan has bigger aspirations.

Michigan did not want to continue on that road. People think Rich Rodriguez was hired to beat Ohio State. But he wasn't. Our sights are set much higher.

West Virginia would go on to defeat Oklahoma 48-28, with West Virginia's offense having no problem against the vaunted Sooners. That is what Michigan wants. To be a national contender.

Case in point: Urban Meyer brought his brand of the spread to Florida, and took them from mediocrity to a BCS Championship

when they hired a coach, Michigan was not looking for another Jim Tressel. They were looking for an Urban Meyer

[UM_Addict]

I think this is a very fair assessment of the ultimate goal. If Michigan is going to lead the Big 10 back to a legitimate national power it would have been a mistake to continue on the same path. As we've seen from the school to the south winning the Big 10 right now doesn't mean much. I do believe that after John Cooper OSU hired Jim Tressel to beat Michigan (which he's done, like a drum). I also agree that Michigan couldn't just have hired a coach to beat OSU, they had to think bigger than that. I just really hope that this style of offense can work at Michigan. If you remember back to Nebraska when they hired Callahan who introduced the west coast offense to mediocre results. The problem was widely reported that that style of offense was not run at any high school in Nebraska or any of their other recruiting hot spots. I'm not familiar enough with Michigan high school football but I do know that the typical pro-style QB's and wide receivers that have been recruited for years are not RR prototypical pieces for his offensive puzzle. I do believe that RR is going to turn the Michigan Football program around I'm just not sure it's going to be on the same schedule that he's had everywhere else. Seriously, this isn't Tulane, Clemson or West Virginia. This is the winningest football program in history with long standing traditions and expectations. Expectations not only from the fan base but also from recruits, recruits that have wanted to play for Michigan to follow the paths of so many great NFL players. I believe that this is going to take some time. Time I hope that we (myself included) can give him.

I'd say Callihans failure was more due to not having athletes on defense who could stop anybody. As for the offense he wasn't doing so hot in the recruiting but scoring didn't look to be as much of a problem as stopping the other team. I think Mizzou racked up like 60 points one year on them. After Osbourne left Nebraska recruiting fell off a cliff. Nebraska isn't exactly a hot bed of high school talent to draw from so I don't think the system Nebraska hs used had much to do with that. What's amazing is that Osbourne and his option attack worked right up until the end and probably would work today. I would worry more about recruiting than if this will work. If recruiting works this works if we can't bring in the ingredients this will fail. Probably the most important factor in our sucess nobody is thinking too much about is the defense and defensive coaches. Osbourne always had one heck of a defense with a roster full of all americans. No matter what offense you have you have to have a solid roster on defense. I do have to laugh at this though. Callihan was good enough to beat LC in a bowl.
One of the great things about the college game is that talent is not a parity like in the NFL where everybody is equally big, strong and fast. On that small a field with all the speed and size the passing game is much more valuable than the running game because there is just too much speed on defense to run trickery. This makes the NFL a very one dimensional game that I don't watch. Yes some RB's get a 1000 yards on 300 carries in a season. After three seasons you usually don't hear from them ever again because they are crippled for life.

Addict,

Michigan is NOT Nebraska! Take a look at where RR has been recruiting -- Tate is from California, D Rob is from Florida, and he had Beaver on the hook (lol, I said beaver) and he is from Texas. Last I checked, those are the big three in football, and if you look into the HS schemes being run in those states, you'll see that the spread is king. Further, the same statement can be made nationwide -- teams run the spread option because they usually have one good players, who they want to have the ball on every play. If that kid can learn to pass, he's got a chance to be great, but more are runners. If you look at it in terms of weight of numbers, what it means is, that there are FAR MORE dual threat playing QB in High School today than there were 20 years ago when QB's were either option runners, or pro style drop back passers.

Finding that great pro-set QB wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but now Michigan is getting to choose from a larger pool, which to my mind, increases the odds of finding that Vince Young, Pat White, Colt McCoy.

In regards to Michigan recruiting, well if you've been following along, Gardner is coming next year, and he's the best dual threat QB in Michigan -- I don't think we could ask RR to do any more than he already has as far as recruiting QB to fill the void.

There's also another wrinkle here that is eluded to at times, but I think it warrants mention. When you're recruiting dual threat QBs, they're obviously tremendous athletes, so if they fail to "pan out" as a QB, or they get out competed by a classmate for the starting spot, they're typically able to play other positions, and still contribute to the team due to their athletic ability. The same can't be said of a traditional pro-set QB. I think we're going to see something like that in play with D Rob this season. You have to get a kid that runs a 10.33 the ball, at least 5 or 7 times a game.


Seriously, this isn't Tulane, Clemson or West Virginia. This is the winningest football program in history with long standing traditions and expectations. Expectations not only from the fan base but also from recruits, recruits that have wanted to play for Michigan to follow the paths of so many great NFL players. I believe that this is going to take some time. Time I hope that we (myself included) can give him.

There you go talking about expectations again.

You're right though, this is Michigan, no doubt. But you're looking at the situation as if the glass is half empty. You're assuming that RR's system was only successful at those schools because they're inferior talent wise. If you would look at it another way, a more positive way, you'd see how much RR was able to accomplish with so little recruiting as compared to Michigan. Whereas he'd have a handful of players on his rosters that were top-notch national recruits, the rest were not. At Michigan, especially in a few years, like the other elite college programs, EVERY player will be elite caliber. This is what we've seen at OU, Texas, Florida, and USC. RR was able to throttle other teams that his teams had previously been losing to, not by getting any more talent, but by utilizing that talent in a very different way. Think about the possibilities while driving the Ferrari that is Michigan Football.

Furthermore, all those years sifting through 2 and 3 star recruits that nobody else wanted has made RR a master at identifying talent, willingness to work, and willingness to "buy in" to his philosophy -- he didn't have a choice at other school. This fact, IMO, bodes very well for us Michigan Men and Women.

As far as the NFL path goes, I think you're way off base! I've said this in here before, but I don't care if Michigan ever sends another player to the league. They're coming to Michigan to play for Michigan, not to get the league. I am not saying that kids don't have that goal, nor that we should exclude them because they do, but take care of you business at Michigan, and the rest will take care of itself. Besides, there is really only one position which is hampered, at least so far, by their playing in a spread option and that is QB -- and, that is beginning to change. So, yeah, if you're a dual threat QB it might be harder for you to be drafted, but not if you're nasty. So what. Again, play ball and do you best and see what happens.

Go Blue!

great article on rich rod, and they are so correct in saying michigan wasnt looking for another jim tressel, but a urban myer kind of guy , and they got him , the tressel types of coaches are going to be passed real soon , so you win 9 or 10 games and get beat in just about every single big game , this just proves one more thing ,guys like tressel are a thing of the past , richrod will pass tressel real soon inthe future, thank god we didnt hire that type of coach..

[Bossgobbler23]

I read that article, glad you posted it Rock. Being new to Scout (though it was a bleacher report) I wasn't sure if I could post it or not. I think the article is right on! I know there is a transition to be had (though RR said this is the last year of it) and don't care if we have or had to suffer a bad season or two while getting in the players for a high powered offense. The author is right on the money. If the Utahs and the WV's of the world can beat BCS teams while using lesser talent, just think what RR will do when he gets our young guys some experience. The Big Ten's current top teams can't compete against the top teams from the other power conferences. They have been left in the dust. An Urban Meyer program (North Version) is just what Dr. Big Ten ordered and WILL GET!

[1OSUNUT]

How long are we going to debate this. RR had lower tier talent at WV - but he was playing against lower tier talent. Now he is at Michigan and he is getting better recruits - Michigan does that. But you fail to realize that he is now playing against better talent. Penn State and Ohio State both recruit as good or better the Michigan does - and some of the other Big Ten teams recruit better then the teams he played against in the Big East.

RR was blessed that he had two kids Slayton and White that ended up being much better then 3 star recruits. He rode them to a lot of victories. You guys keep saying he did more with less and that just is not true. Sure he won a few bowl games - anything can happen in those games. Boise beat Oklahoma, Utah beat Alabama, etc. RR did have sucess in his bowl games. Why did he not do more with less last year ?

RR will find the going much tougher in the Big Ten. He will have a higher quality of player for sure - but he will be playing against a much higher quality of player as well.

[amazinblue]

Nut,


I've got a bet for you. Which team will have a better record in 2010 and 2011? Michigan or OSU?

As I've said in other posts - it's more than talent and execution that RR's bringing to Ann Arbor. It's execution - it's a thorough approach to football - uptempo and aggressive. I know that you think he'll stumble and fall - and are "glad" that he's in Ann Arbor - just look at last year, right? Well, I'm not dwelling on the past - I'm looking at the future - and the team Michigan puts on the field week in and week out will not only be fun to watch, but they'll win more than their share of games.

If you're up for a wager - please let me know...

[The Michigan Man]

Why did he not do more with less last year ?


Are you really that confused? Let's see, inheriting a program that did not have many players that were appropriate for his offense. Not having players familiar with his system. Inheriting a program that was 20 years behind in strength and conditioning.

RR came out his 1st year at WV with the same record for the same reasons. Be a student of the game.

Its pretty basic NUT, he does better with less (now read this slowly so you can understand) once the players have a grasp of his system and can execute it.

Until the last couple of years UM out recruited OSU so whats the point? Carr did less with more. High recruiting ranking really mean nothing other than bragging rights. Its what you can do with the talent you get. Otherwise why do schools like ND, FSU, Nebraska, etc not do better? Schools that get top recruiting and can develop that talent dominate, like Florida, Texas, OK or USC. Again RR has shown that he can compete and win with less talent.
By all rights UM should be having a great season this year because our seniors were the 6th ranked class. Yet where are those guys?


From the classes of 2005 and 2006 we have these guys left who are or may be impact players:
Stevie Brown
Brandon Graham
Steve Schilling
Obi Ezeh
Greg Matthews

Almost everyone else is gone. This is what I've been saying to you for a year now is that Carr devestated the program with successive poor years of recruits that did not pan out. Any school with that amount of upperclassmen left from 2 years of recruiting would be just as devestated. You can talk about your "young" OSU team all you want but its nearly as young as UM is.

I'll take that bet.

Tressel has landed more great defensive talent in the past two recruiting classes than we've seen in a long time in Columbus. Terrel Pryor and player arrests may make all of the news outside of Columbus but I'm telling you, the explanation for OSU's success for the enxt two to three seasons will be because of the defensive side of the ball.

Just as you argue that it takes a certain type of personnel to run RR's offense, it also takes a certain type of personnel to stop it. Plus, since it was a new style of offense, it takes awhile for the defensive coaches to devise a scheme to stop it. Just as every other past great scheme on offense has been successfully thwarted, this one will too.

[Blue In Ohio]

You say that but when you don't see it every game that's easier said than done. Maybe you could use TP as your mock qb to practice for Michigan once Devon Gardner is with us. Problem is one week of practicing what takes atleast a year to learn will not be enough to prepare for us. Who knows maybe Tressel schedules practice on Sundays all season to prepare for Michigan. Michigan found that out a few years back with Oregon and you guys did against Florida. I like our future advantage. I don't know if we will beat you guys this year but as more classes come in here and we have the athletes and experience we need it will become difficult for you guys. Your high motor pass rushing type will spend alot of time chasing air when the play has already passed them by and either our qb or rb is on their way to a touchdown. The dynamics of defending this kind of attack are very different from the usual defense you play. The high motor type get neutralized in a hurry. You have to be able to think, read and react in space. Not sure if OSU recruits that kind of intellegence.

The Big What??? Big Deal perhaps lately. Our conference has slid in case you haven't noticed. OSU is a prime example of not being able to beat the big boys. The Big East Champions ("with lesser talent") have been beating the strong BSC teams in the bowl games so your point does not make sense about RR's system only working in a weaker conrerence. Here again is an accurate quote from the article.
"Penn State and Ohio State had what their schools may deem as successful seasons. What exactly does that mean? Both teams were humiliated by USC. Penn State only had one other loss, losing to Iowa, and Ohio State put up a good fight in the Fiesta Bowl against Texas. That's it? Michigan has bigger aspirations".

You guys can continue to have "successful Big Ten season". Michigan has bigger aspirations as time will ultimately prove.

It is a free article, not Beaver or Webb posted material, so you can post the article. As far as what some other people have said that O$U has devised a scheme to defend RR offense, I go back to Northwestern, when they had a spread offense and it caused all kinds of problems in the Big Ten (remember Michigan lost like 53-50 or something on ATrains fumble) and they upset Ohio State on national TV. They even went to the Rose Bowl and Citrus Bowl too. I will say what Kirk Herbstriet said at Defiance College once and that is "When RR has his offense in place, it will take the Big Ten, five to ten years to catch up to him." That OSUNUT, is coming from a Buckeye Homie.

[amazinblue]

Furley,

Thank you for your spirit. Here's the wager. The loser wears something that the winner picks out for a day at the office - an entire day. If Michigan's record is poorer than OSU's in 2010, I'll wear an OSU Nike sweater vest - and send you a pic to prove it. The opposite is true as well. If the records are identical - the outcome of the Michigan - OSU is the tie breaker. My only question to you is - do you want to include the bowl game, or would you prefer it be the regular season record - either is fine with me - you make the call.

And, Bossgobbler, I would agree that 2011 and 2012 will be the Michigan RR machine that we're hoping to see. I think that Tate will bring a second year of experience - and we can see 9-3 or better in 2010. 2011 and beyond, I would expect to see a Top 10 team.

As for the comments about the D - specifically, OSU's recruiting and player development. I do believe that Tressel and the OSU staff do a solid job with fundamentals - and this is important - since, IMO, fundamentals aren't focused on enough in high school. What I like about Michigan, and the D - in particular, is the improvement and aggressiveness that GR is going to install. I do wonder whether Heacock is the right guy to keep the OSU D at the forefront.

[RADRACING]

West Virginia would go on to defeat Oklahoma 48-28, with West Virginia's offense having no problem against the vaunted Sooners. That is what Michigan wants. To be a national contender.

Everybody beats Oklahoma in bowl games, Beating USC, LSU or Florida is a whole different animal. By the way it wasn't RR's team when they beat OU. The embarrassment to Pitt is why RR wasn't in the NC, where he would have slaughtered.

[bluefan]

By the way it wasn't RR's team when they beat OU.

Good call. In the 30 days after RR left and took the UM job all his coordinators and players completely forgot what he taught them and learned their own thing. You are probably the dumbest poster on this site - and that's saying something with the likes of Suck 1, Don, NUT, and Run The Ball.

[BBA1994]

Rad is just a dumb whore who can't get any cocknballs in her mouth. Just ignore her.

[rickyleach]

rags pussy probably stinks like tressels record in big games too..

[Blue In Ohio]

Sorry for the typo up there I'm a math guy not an english guy. So Rad The victory over Oklahoma had nothing to do with Rich Rods offense and what about the players Rich Rod recruited. I see so he gets credit for fielding the team when it loses but it does not count as his team when the team won? Have you seen Stewart Coach??? WV looks to have taken a step back after Rich Rod left. Pat white and many of the players you say are the reason for RR sucess so why didn't they go 12-0 last year?

Rad,

Again, which are your favorite Buckeye jerseys to wear? Your posts are so transparent - it's quite obvious that you're a Buckeye fan pretending to root for Michigan. For instance - your post above - why just highlight USC, LSU, and Florida = oh yeah, you also should have higlighted Penn State and Texas - since those teams handed it to OSU last year as well.

Enjoy September and that USC visit to the Shoe.

I still don't see how I am related to OSU, that must be the sweeping generalization around here when someone dislikes RR's whole demeanor and approach to football, including offering hundreds of scholarships with no intent to honor them. I will be the first one to tell you "told you so" when everyone on here turns against him, we will see how many more losses and how much further deterioration of the UM program it takes, FYI 3 wins is pathetic.

You may not be related to tuos but you're just a dumb whore with no clue as to the state of UM football prior to RR arriving. The program didn't slide once RR became the coach, the slide started several years prior to RR's arrival. Now shut your mouth and go make your boyfriend some eggs.

Ah yes Don you are correct RR is such a loser...In fact the guy makes a poultry $1mill a year coaches at a prestigues University and is well respected around the country (except Ohio) as a great coach....Yup a real loser. Hey Don how many football programs have you coached at? OR better yet compare your Wal-Mart greeter salary to Rich Rodriguez's and tell me who the loser is you douche.

Hey Ugly. Sure, and you're conveniently forgetting about the amusing negative articles on Dick Rod during the season last year. Guess the Detroit papers neglected to employ "journalists" as well.

Spare us the cheap theatrics please.

Quick question. What do you call a 3-9 season?

answer:

enough said.

A bump in the road on the way to 15 straight undefeated seasons, 10 NC championships, and 20 year winning streak against OSU. Some of the fans here have unrealistic expectations – not me.

Don't you need to go wax your taint?

We had many discussions last year about the hack journalists that the Freep employed. But I forgot your memory is very selective.

So if you're a journalist and critical of Rod Rod you're a hack. Perfect.
