All Your CC Rabble Rabble Are Belong To Us

And we're back. Sort of.

This isn't about Lynn.

It's not my usual brand of "comedy."

Admittedly, there's nothing splendid about it.

However, with the Michigan coaching situation going kablooey today I wanted to weigh in and at least get something on the record regarding the "CC:"

When Rich Rodriguez was hired in December of 2007 he had a month or so to maintain the current recruiting class put together by Lloyd Carr and attempt to add players of his own.

In 2011, the players from that hybrid class (that did not redshirt) will be in their final year of eligibility.

As such, barring any medical redshirts, the following Rodriguez recruits will graduate next season:

Michael Shaw
Martavious “Tay” Odoms

That's it. Rodriguez will leave Michigan without having graduated a player and the next coach will graduate TWO of his recruits following his first season. The rest of the guys in the same boat such as Stonum and Koger were recruited by Lloyd.

While I have been a RR supporter, I do agree that the situation seems too toxic to continue with the status quo.

With that being said, the next coach of the Wolverines deserves better. He deserves more time barring unforeseen severe circumstances.

Unless, of course, it's Brady Hoke.
