Naughty Nudgette Jenna Haze throws a big "F-YOU" to Rich Rod
This guy struck gold when he recruited Pat White out of Bama and Slaton. There wasn't any genius in recruiting them, they were three stars. Have you heard any great clamour about last year's recruitment of Pat White's little brother, Coley? NO. Pat White, in my opinion is one of those once in a decade type of players. I rank him right up there with Tommy Frazier, Peyton and Keith McCants. Rich Rod caught lightning in a bottle with those two guys and his limited spread playbook worked because of it. To call him a genius of the spread is like calling a lottery winner a genius for picking the right numbers. They both just got lucky.
Once the hat said no, they looked at Schiano. Surely a coach at lowly Rutgers would want to come to the Big House. But Schiano stayed. Now they had egg on their face. They thought "Holy Crap" we look like imbeciles what the hell are we gonna do. And they went off of Rich Rod's record at West Virginia during the Pat White era only. They didn't stop to think that the players on the team currently have no business whatsoever playing in Rich Rod's "SCHEME."
Look, do you think that if UM Athletic Director Bill Martin was told in the Spring, "Hey, if you hire this guy you'll have Nick Sheridan running the offense for the next three years," that he would have said yea that sounds great.
I have nothing against Nick Sheridan, he's a fierce competitor. He's just not my idea of who should be starting at the QB position.
"Man, when they recruited me here, they didn't tell me it would be like this"
When Rich Rod got there, his first order of business should have been to sit down with Ryan Mallette and say "Hey, when I was at Tulane, I had Shaun King and he threw the ball" Shaun King threw the ball for 3500 yards and 38 td's for Christ sake. But no, Rich Rod expected all world talent Terrelle Pryor to follow him up to the Big House. It was his over inflated ego that was to be his downfall.
The guy has the playbook to run the offense that fits his personnel right now, but he's so pig headed that he simply doesn't care. He would rather put the worst, I'll say that again, the worst team in the history of Michigan football out on the field than admit that maybe his spread should be saved up until he gets a mobile quarterback.
