Former Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez has truly been on a role lately since taking over as head coach for the Arizona Wildcats.
Lets just take a look at what good ol’ Dick Rodriguez has been up too…
- Become the new head coach of Arizona.
- Be promised a future Arizona/Michigan matchup. (Which he now claims is a joke)
- Tell his new staff and players NOT to Facebook his 15-year-old daughter.
- Explain HIS definition of a turd.
Well Thursday you can add another gem to growing list of Rich Rodriguez moments of note.
During an interview with Bill Simonson of “The Huge Show”, Rich Rodriguez said that he would get at least ten wins if he were still the head coach of the University of Michigan…
“Yep … at least,” Rodriguez said when asked if the Wolverines would’ve won 10 games if he had been their coach this season.
“That’s just being confident, and things going the right way. They’re coaches have done a terrific job, but it’s just frustrating for me to watch at times because those are all my guys. I’m happy for them. I would’ve liked to have been there to share it with them, but I’m in a great place now. I’ve moved on.”
And like many of his press conferences after bad games, Rodriguez gave excuses as to why his teams were bad…
“At Michigan, we just ran out of time,” Rodriguez said. “Had we been able to finish the job that we were hired to do, I thought we were going to have great success. Certainly they’ve done a terrific job this year and they’re having that success.
“I don’t think there’s just one thing. Certainly had we been a little bit better defensively. But it’s too simplistic to say that. There’s more to it than just that answer. Because everybody’s moved on, I prefer not to think about it.”
Rodriguez was fired after going 15-22 in three seasons with the Wolverines.
