Michigan: Football
U-M hires 2 of Rodriguez's West Virginia assistants
Associated Press
ANN ARBOR -- At least two West Virginia assistant coaches will follow former Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez to Michigan.
Assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Calvin Magee will join Rodriguez's staff in Ann Arbor. So will defensive backs coach Tony Gibson.
Michigan athletics spokesman Bruce Madej (MA'-dee) says he can't comment on an ESPN-dot-com report that three other assistants also are headed to Ann Arbor.

U-M's Rodriguez confirms Manningham, Arrington, Mallett no longer are on team
Quote:
ANN ARBOR -- Newly hired Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez confirmed Tuesday night that receivers Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington and quarterback Ryan Mallett are no longer with the team.
Rodriguez confirmed the news in an impromptu briefing with the media at halftime of the men's basketball game against Indiana. Rodriguez also said his staff is nearly complete, but he needs to add a defensive coordinator and give some assistants specific roles with the team by this weekend.
In regard to Manningham and Arrington, Rodriguez said both players didn't attend a team meeting Monday, so he expects both to test the NFL waters. Mallett also didn't attend the meeting.
Rodriguez said Arrington text-messaged him Tuesday about his plans to pursue the professional draft. Rodriguez said he hasn't spoken to Manningham since the Wolverines' Capital One Bowl victory over Florida.
Cont'd...

"Obviously, with Mario and Adrian, they made a decision they thought would help them professionally and decided to come out early," Rodriguez said. "We wish them well and that's all I have to say about that."

That is rather Gumpian.

I really got a feeling for his character based on this paragraph:

As for Mallett, Rodriguez declined to give many details. But when pressed on the freshman's status, he replied: "I don't care. He's not playing for Michigan. I'm concerned with who's playing for Michigan."
