ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan hired Rich Rodriguez away from his alma mater after failing to bring back one of its own. A man with ties to both the Wolverines and West Virginia might've helped. College football's winningest program ended its coaching search Sunday, nearly a month after it started, by announcing Rodriguez would succeed retiring Lloyd Carr.
Rodriguez was scheduled to be introduced as the Wolverines' coach at a news conference Monday morning.

...in the shoe next year, when tosu gets its beating.....GO BLUE!!!
well I wouldn't start the celebration just yet.
Rodriguez downplayed the importance of the Big Ten championship (tOSU/Mich game) and emphasized it's other rivalries (the Notre "why are we still considered a powerhouse" Dame game and the Michigan "we're too drunk to care" State game)
It reminded me of a coach who downplayed the Big Ten championship game.... John "I can beat anyone not from Michigan" Cooper.
