Michigan's Rich Rodriguez should probably stop reading the Detroit News (if he didn't a long time ago).See, the Detroit News covers the Wolverines in a pretty aggressive fashion, and the reporters don't do it in a very "rah-rah" fashion that Rodriguez likes. He was pretty used to it too at WVU with reporters in his back pocket.
Lynn Henning's column this past weekend is just one of many commentaries that attack Rodriguez and his handling of the Wolverines this season. Henning questions Rodriguez' competence and how he has lost support from many of his upperclassmen.
Henning wrote: "But what should be as distressing to Michigan's football camp as this incomprehensible string of losses -- five in a row -- is Rodriguez's attitude. 'I know what's going on,' he said Saturday, as if he is aware of deficiencies no one else seems to recognize. Does he really believe that?"
Henning also suggests that Michigan's senior administration is worried about the direction of the program under Rodriguez and second guessing their decision to hire him last year. This is not good. Given two more years, Rodriguez will get the Wolverines back on track. But he may not get that much time.
Beat writer Angelique S. Chengelis even suggests that Michigan's season has had more drama than anyone could have anticipated. The Wolverines sitting at 2-7 and missing out on a bowl game for the first time in 33 years is not what any Michigan fan could have expected.
Chengelis also wrote about the all-time low that Michigan football has hit in 2008.
In another article, Henning writes that Rich-Rod is getting a little testy with the media.
Heck, we haven't even looked at the Ann Arbor stories yet.
Maybe Clemson could land Rich-Rod next season.
