Yeah, that could be (and most likely is) the case. I don't follow the skunkbears close enough, nor have I been able to follow anything online untill recently. Just thought I'd share what I had heard. |

CBS Sports: Rodriguez's QB quandary might rest on a Pryor commitment

Rodriguez's QB quandary might rest on a Pryor commitment
Jan. 17, 2008

Rich Rodriguez has a lot more to worry about than what did or didn't go into that paper shredder at West Virginia.
Try a quarterback depth chart that is a bit riven itself.
Chad Henne is gone. Ryan Mallett has transferred. Next up on the depth chart is Georgia Tech transfer Steven Threet, whose next college pass will be his first.
What happened? We're talking about Michigan, the gold standard when it comes to quarterbacks. Coming into the 2007 season, every starter since 1989 at least made it into an NFL camp.
That doesn't help the current situation with a new coach and no quarterbacks -- or none to speak of with the height, weight and speed requirements to run Rodriguez's spread option.
The race to replace has become not only a Michigan issue but also a national recruiting issue. Beyond changing the offense, Rodriguez is trying to install a new culture at staid, conservative Michigan. His first choice for his spread option obviously is Terrelle Pryor, the nation's No. 1 recruit out of western Pennsylvania. Thanks to Rodriguez, Michigan is now among Pryor's finalists along with LSU, Oregon, Ohio State and Penn State.
Whether Threet, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound drop-back kind of guy, can help change that culture becomes more of an issue if Pryor signs elsewhere. Most of the quarterbacks currently on the roster were recruited to run Lloyd Carr's pro-style offense.
cont'd...

It appears the UM folks are concerned one of their recruits may bail:

ex-TSUN QB Coach Scott Loeffler may be looking at the 'Bama vacancy
(Crimson Chatter)
Quote:
Former Michigan quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler has been on campus this week and has emerged as an early leader to become Alabama's new offensive coordinator, The Huntsville Times has learned.
Alabama is seeking a replacement for Major Applewhite, who was hired at Texas on Wednesday.
Loeffler was not retained by new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.
Applewhite's departure was obviously expected before the formal announcement with Loeffler getting to campus so soon.

Frankly, I'm suprised they haven't lost several verbals with the contrast in styles between DickRod and LLLLLLoyd.
