Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
He is the douchiest of douche bags. He's even douchier than Mark May. How the hell anybody pays him to run his mouth while he spits all over the place and runs his trap is beyond me.
But how the hell does a coach coach so bad in the B1G and then go to the Pac 12 and then knocks off So Cal? Mind boggling.

Read Three and Out and you'll understand a little bit better. RichRod was never given a real chance to coach at AACC. Hard to focus on the field when you've got hyenas constantly gnawing on you the second you turn around.

3yrs of with no improvement wasnt enough?? You dont get 5+ yrs at big boy schools, you either come in and produce or your gone! Its not exactly fair but thats whats expected...
If Rich had Mattison, they would have been back to a perennial a top 10 program very quickly. The offense wasn't the problem, it was all on the D (and recruiting for the D).
Just proves my theory about richrod he performs his best when dealing in the middle of nowhere or where there are no expectations. Hey you wanna rebuild random irrelevant program, he's your guy.
The worm will turn against Kiffin soon. He's looking at a potential four or five-loss season now (when you factor in Oregon, ND, and a bowl game) and SC doesn't have a defining win this season. Factor in his douchey personality, inability to foster a winning culture anywhere, and the intense spotlight that this job brings and you have the perfect storm.
It makes me feel warm inside just thinking about it. This was a preseason no. #1 team. Wow.
Not to mention the fact that because they drug out the appeals process, the scholarship restrictions are just now being felt. This season is most likely just the start of a slide. Depth has become an issue for some position groups and that will become more pronounced. Despite great recruiting, 3-4 losses could become the norm over the next few years.
I'm glad you don't. Hoke is an excellent recruiter and has that defense going, but man Denard in his 4th year of the Rich Rodriguez offense is a scary thought. Thank god nobody up north thought, what if we just replaced GERG with Mattison?

"Big Game" Lane Kiffin strikes again.
That smug a-hole is officially the most overrated head coach of the last 20 years at least.

Mack Brown is insulted. Charlie Weiss thinks your opinion lacks the decided schematic advantage of including his ability to hold Tom Brady in check.

Well played, good sir. The Rod just went right through the Trojan protection.

Couldn't happen to a nicer school...........lol

It's kinda like "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of deal I wanted Arizona to win. Lane Kiffin is a D-bag
Wherever you are, there you be!
Plus I am a huge Rich Rod fan!
I love Rich Rod. He's the greatest coach Michigan ever had.

Colin Cowherd had USC #5 this week. I guess he'll have to drop them to #7 now..... sheesh..
Colin Cowherd is the epitome of "douche bag."

This definitely still applies. Love seeing him beating Kiffin.
That was my desktop background for the entire off-season. Loved it.
Never minded Rich Rod. Always kinda felt bad--every press conference at ttun looked like his dog died.

I'd love to have the 2010 Rodriguez offense working for us right now.

Did I say USC will lose at least 2 games before the season started..oh that's right I did! LOL @ those posers.
