Hey, it's a business - why let WVU have him for an extra three weeks? Ohio State would have done the same thing in similar circumstances.

I am not buying that argument. In any business you need integrity. Bobby Petrino dumping the Falcons and moving to R-Kansas is not OK but RR moving to UM before the bowl game is? Bo Pelini has stopped recruiting for LSU and has started recruiting for Nebraska while coaching LSU's bowl game. Why can't hot Rod do the same? He gave them no notice. The players are pissed, and he just dumps them and moves.

RE "integrity" - With respect to whom? His former employer and players, or his new? RR nows owes a duty to Michigan, and he owes WVU nothing, but he should show more "integrity" toward WVU than to UM? Don't think so....

RE Pelini - he'd be in Lincoln now if the 'Huskers had a bowl game to worry about.

RE "players being pissed" - like they'd be less pissed if RR stuck around? Isn't that kind of like living with your wife while you're going through a divorce? Best for everyone to move on and start over.

Besides, as far as I am concerned, all of this talk about "class" and "integrity" is beside the point. I don't really care whose feelings are hurt at WVU, or who got Machiavellian at UM - I am interested to see how this move affects Ohio State, both in recruiting and in The Game....

So Rich gets to devote his full attention to recruiting while Llllloyd prepares the team and coaches them to their bowl game loss to Florida, and every other major program is preparing for bowl games as well? Pretty sweet deal for Rich and Michigan.

Recruitung is in a quiet period until after the bowl games. Althoug Pryor has apparently been quoted as saying that R-Rod called him this morning.

RR is a snake. He'll do anything, at any cost, to get TP to UM. I don't trust him, and I find this hire to be highly suspect by the Michigan people. It should be comical to see this transformation unfold.

Michigan needed to keep pace with Charlie Weis having the whole bowl season to recruit. :biggrin:

I want to see how the 3-3-5 defense works in the Big 10. Scum couldn't have picked a coach that clashes more with their current system and the way the Big 10 plays football. He also puckers up in rivalry games. Could we really ask for anything more?
