Rich Rod says coming to Michigan ‘wasn’t the best move’

Ex-Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez, who is now an analyst for CBS Sports, sat down for a question and answer session according to AnnArbor.com. Rodriguez talked about two intriguing topics which included the spread offense and the transition a college player would have to make if they were to go to the NFL and whether or not it was a mistake to leave West Virginia for Michigan.

Here is what he had to say about players playing in the spread offense and making that adjustment for the NFL…

“I think it’s irrelevant whether they came from spread system or pro-style,” Rodriguez said on the issue of spread vs. pro-style. “I mean Sam Bradford was the first pick in the draft; he played in a spread system and he did pretty well. Colt McCoy played, Tim Tebow also played as a rookie, and they all came from spread systems.”

Then finally Rich Rod takes a look back at that decision to leave West Virginia to come to Ann Arbor…

“We did have a good thing going at West Virginia, and we really enjoyed it,” he said. “As you look back at it, wasn’t the best move. Easy to say now.”
