re: M. Wilbon on UM and ND

there ain't gunna be a march for miles this year

Les has a want to go up there and be competitive

He and his family look forward to the opportunity to compete for the job

depends on who we get

i think guys who have made their mark building 1 program would take time, and they often fail

you can't just replicate what you had

rich rod, spurrier, etc fall into this category

thats patterson

the guys to target are ones who have ascended up the ranks, improving each place they've been as they go, and often the program keeps humming after they leave

urban did this
kelly is doing this
harbaugh is doing this

Serious sources are saying that Gary Patterson would be the front Runner for ND. The powers that be at ND believe firmly that to get back to national respectablility and compete for BCS games, the quickest way to get there is building a dominant defense. Patterson is the guy.

this will happen very very quickly and it won't be done with all the public fanfare that the Weiss hire happened in.

As for Michigan, I am certain that Brian Kelly will be their first target. NO legs to Miles or Harbaugh.

or perhaps you can back to your shitty big ten team's message boards and don't worry about us

You guys need to stop trying to pawn your shitty coach off on the Big10 imo.

that shitty coach straight took that crystal ball from your coach.

I know, and you'd think he just lost to Charlie Weis' FUPA reading the shite on here.

---

no, you'd think we as fans are pissed he's content with the way things are and not worried about making changes that need to be made.

I'd be so pissed if I was sitting at 8-2 too, with those two losses to top 5 teams in the country.

What an a-hole.

yeah, especially if we had any sort of offense we'd be sitting at 10-0 and the #1 team in the nation. but miles it "content" with how Crowton is calling the offense and handling the development if JJ.

Rich Rodriguez's agent says Mary Sue Coleman behind Michigan coach '100%'
BY MARK SNYDER

According to Rich Rodriguez's agent, U-M president Mary Sue Coleman supports Rodriguez "100%."

Mike Brown told the Free Press today that the pair met on Monday -- he said he wasn't sure what the meeting was about or how it arose -- and that's what she told Rodriguez
She said, hey I'm behind you 100%," Brown said. "I know for a fact from day one she's been behind him 100%."
Brown speaks to Rodriguez and his wife, Rita, regularly and said they love Ann Arbor and see themselves there for years. He pays no attention to any speculation about Rodriguez's job status.

"He's got long-range plans," Brown said. "He's going to be the coach next year and for many years to come. Once he gets everything in place the program will be where he wants it to be. He has no plans of being anywhere but Ann Arbor."

Brown later clarified by e-mail that the Monday conversation between Rodriguez and Coleman, which was about the missing practice logs, may have occurred over the phone.

LSU fans would have ran him out of town on a rail for the record he had at Auburn, not to mention the shitty recruiting.

yeah we are a bit more enticing to recruits than Auburn is thanks to saban and miles
