My guess is unless there is some sort of miracle this season, Rich Rodriguez will be gone. I honestly believed Michigan hired Rodriguez because 1. the spread option has given Ohio State problems in the past, and 2. Rodriguez would have been a good play in order to convince Terrelle Pryor not to go to Columbus.
Rodriguez is the college football version of Billy Gillispie, good success at a smaller school, but not the kind of coach you want if you are in the national spotlight.
I believe Les Miles was and still is the right coach for Michigan. Don't know if that will ever happen though, even if he does get canned from LSU after this season.
