Yeah. Let's hire a guy who went 15-22 (6-18 ) at freaking Michigan. No thanks. I'd rather keep Moorhead. And I do NOT want to keep Moorhead.

All about the right fit. No one has been that successful in Michigan in years. They never bought in to that style.

No thanks, but I’m fine with seeing him leave Oxford. They’re closing in on 400 on the ground tonight against LSU.

We will have our hands full.

And his offense currently averages less PPG than ours. And I want Moorhead gone too. But no way to hire RR

Cohen is waiting until all of Rich Rod's & Arizona's sexual harassment lawsuits have been settled before pulling the trigger**

Literally EVERYONE who has ever coached at Michigan in 141 years of playing football has won more often than Rich Rodriguez did. And it’s not even close.

I would take Rich Rod over Moorhead in a heartbeat. And I’m not so sure Rich Rod would be a great hire.

I agree with you. Rich Rod has won 10+ games 4 times as a Power 5 head coach, with the last time being in 2014. He improved every year at Michigan. Moorhead couldn’t do either of those things, IMO.

Hey man, Daniel Jones outscored Pat Mahomes last week. Of course, that's one week out of 16.

He’s won 10 at a P5 school once. He was 24-30 in conference games there.

No. He won 32 games in a 3 year period at West Virginia too. Keep in mind he won 10 games at Arizona. Think about that. His resume is impressive.

He is a system coach. It takes time to implement systems. He improved every year and the team won 10 the year after he left.

He’s a good coach, and Michigan did not give him enough time. They never supported him from the outset.

Not saying we should hire him, as he’s definitely a has been and his system is a little dated, but we could do much worse. He’s a safe hire for sure.

Hey, when you get washed out of the draft, like I routinely do, you have to play matchups from the waiver wire. I’ll play whoever plays Miami.

He was good at Arizona and West Virginia. Michigan was an outlier. We are more similar to West Virginia and Arizona as programs. Similar coach to Mullen in style. Byrne likes that style. Byrne is usually a pretty good judge of coaches.
