Martin's ego is as big as all outdoors, and combined with his lack of knowledge of intercollegiate athletics (and football in particular), he has single-handedly crashed one of the most storied programs in the country. I'm not ready to throw the towel in on Rodriguez, but there were many other choices that would have caused much less trauma. Les Miles wanted the job badly, but Bill blew it. Brady Hoke (who has mighty Ball State ranked #16 currently) was Lloyd's choice, but not a big enough name for Bill. Jim Harbaugh? No, he hurt Bill's feelings. With any of these guys, Michigan would likely still have Mallett, Arrington, Boren, etc., would have a winning season right now, and would be bowl eligible. I just hope to God that Martin gets out of the way and that RichRod has what it takes to rebuild this thing. You are oh so right, my friend.
