if i was michigan AD

While I do agree that Michigan has made "Some" progress, The offense has not been impressive against any team this year that had a decent defense (i.e. OSU,Iowa,Mich St.,Wisconsin) sure the O steamrolled Indiana,Purdue,UMass, and a few other cupcakes but never really showed up against tougher opponents. The Defense was terrible and got worse throughout the year, Change has to come sooner rather than later.

The thing that scares me about the "4 year" idea is that R. Rod seems to have lost this team. They don't believe in the guy.

Michigan sucks and they are not that good on offense either.

They gotta get rid of Rich Rod.

We can certainly agree they are young and are improving on O.

Every team uses the 'young' excuse- Actually, Michigan has not recruited as well since Rich Rod became coach. Improving? Hard not to as shitty as they looked the prior two seasons. Their offense didn't look too impressive against the Bulldogs; it was only a matter of time before teams learned how to handle Robinson. The problem with depdending on Denard Robinson, is the number of times he went down during the year too. A running QB is one high ankle strain away from riding the pine the rest of the year. Rich Rod was not hired to 'improve' the team; he has not shown the ability to take this team to a higher level, do you really think another year is going to make all that much of a difference? And, the team did not improve during the year, they actually took a nose dive; the Miss. St shellacking was the icing on the cake. After that wipeout to a mid-pack SEC team, how do you justify to Mich. fans to keep RR another year??

I don't think that 4 year rule should always apply. Every situation is different. I don't think RR was ever a fit for the Michigan job. It was a mistake to hire him. I think the Michigan people realize he was not a fit now. The question is what do you do now? You have a good coach but he does not fit your program at all. Why keep him?
