PAT CAPUTO: "Raise Me Up?" Isn't Rich Rodriguez Actually Bringing Down Michigan's Football Program?
Those who love Michigan football need to circle the wagons, pull together and rally around their football coach.
But is Rich Rodriguez that football coach? It's one thing to be loyal to your current coach. It's another to follow him blindly off a cliff.
Rodriguez raised eyebrows last week by turning Michigan's annual football banquet into a pep rally to save his job. The current players, who were supposed to be honored, especially those who are playing for the Wolverines for the last time, were pushed aside. So was the 1985 team that was to be honored.
