| Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? Could Rich Rodriguez be the man to end Michigan's consecutive bowl streak? Olin Buchanan of Rivals.com seems to think it's possible: Quote:

| Re: Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? I don't know if we'll get to a bowl game but I can say this... if we don't the price is well worth the payoff in the end. The Big Ten ball Michigan has played is going to the wayside and it's time to get with the program.

1. A change in the way we do things and system isn't what was needed. A pro offense wins and wins consistently and over all is easier to run and easier to plug in backups when there are injuries. If anybody has any questions on if Lloyd Carr's offense still worked look no further than the 11-2 season a few years back. Execution is key and the losses to Ohio State and USC that season was about them being a better team. USC doesn't run a spread option offense and they are without a doubt the best program in the country in the last 8 years. They run a pro offense, much like what the Pats ran last year. 2. Bringing in a guy who says when being introduced "I don't know anything about Michigan football or how you guys do things" Didn't help his cause, nor did ticking off Braylon Edwards and other alumni. 3. He's shown in the past winning is more important than integrity to him. That's never been Michigan stance since Bo took over. We care about winning and winning the RIGHT way. Not Rich Rod, as is evident with his slap on the wrist for Kevin Grady who had a ONE game suspension after drinking and driving and being 3X the league limit. 4. His system relies on the QB being not only a runner and a passer but also being awesome. If the QB goes down, there goes the season. See Oregon last year and WV when they lost White vs. Pitt. 5. He's often taken the stance that it doesn't matter what he does this year because he doesn't have "his" players. Sends a bad message to the fans and to the team that because you didn't recruit them you are just using them as fill in players this season or how ever long it takes to get the guy you want playing. 6. He was a big fish in a little pond. Now people will point to wins over UGA and some other schools and proof he can win vs. top schools but that's not winning consistently in the big leagues. Lets face it, when the big ten is where it normally is Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Ohio State and Illinios as well as Michigan State are all teams that can play with most in the country. 7. He's not a Michigan Man and hasn't embraced the tradition of Michigan football, trust me I'm here at UM and I'm friends with MANY former and current players. As I said I didn't like the hire, still don't. Lloyd Carr showed he could win a national title by doing it. He showed he could win the big ten by doing it and doing it often. Rich Rod will have to do the same. As far as I'm concerned if we don't make a bowl this season fire him and the staff move on and call Les Miles or Skip Holtz - DE82 |

| Re: Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? Depends on how the team does next week I believe. I still think they can beat Northwestern, Illinios and Minnesota just based on that great D-line. However, I want a win over MSU too and Notre Dame |

| Re: Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? I don't buy Illinios what so ever. They have no answer for the D-line UM has. Force Juice to throw and he can't beat you. I mean we didn't even have Hart and Henne last year when we beat them. |

| Re: Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? I just don't feel the spreed was a "need" if you get what I mean. This team would be better off with Grobe, Pinkle or Les Miles coaching and I firmly believe that. I'm pretty easy to please though. Beat MSU, contend for the Big Ten, go to a bowl. If Rod can do that this year remains to be seen. I did see SOME progress this week over last though. |

| Re: Michigan Consecutive Bowl Streak in jeopardy? It does, unless as I mentioned your QB goes down. If that happens your season is over. |
