Is Michigan's Rodriguez out of a job?

Is Michigan's Rodriguez out of a job?


Job speculation swirled through Michigan's postgame press conference Saturday as the media peppered coach Rich Rodriguez with questions about his future.

Understandably, sideline fodder is a hot topic. Ohio State pounded Michigan 37-7 at Ohio Stadium, earning a seventh straight win in the rivalry. Worse, the Buckeyes administered the third straight double-digit beating in the Rodriguez Era.

Could it cost Rodriguez his job?

"I worry about my future every day," Rodriguez said. "I worried about it before I took this job. I worried about it after I got this job, but nothing is going to change how we work.

"I'm not deterred one bit. I think the worst is behind us. I know it is."

That could be a tough argument to make. The coach has a 15-21 overall record, 6-18 in the Big Ten.New and used Cartier watch others.

The chasm between Ohio State at the top of the conference and Michigan, in the second division each year of the Rodriguez Era, looked as stark as ever in this game.

The Buckeyes limited the Wolverines to their lowest point total of the season, 10 points less than a 34-17 loss to Michigan State.our website supply many kinds of bagswallets. Coach Jim Tressel's squad erupted for 24 points in the second quarter and was never challenged in the second half.

"I'm ticked off," Rodriguez said. "What do you want me to do,Admittedly,outdoor christmas decorations, seven of his 15 Test victories came against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. jump out there with all those Buckeye fans and sing Kumbaya?

"This will sting for a little bit, which it should."

Outwardly, the players had little reaction to their coach's status.

"That's outside of what we can control," junior defensive end Ryan Van Bergen said. "We can't get distracted by that stuff."

When asked if he thought about his coach's future, sophomore Jordan Kovacs echoed Van Bergen.

"Not at all. We play for each other," Kovacs said.

Even the Wolverines' brightest star had a tough day.

Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson, a Heisman candidate in some corners, enjoyed a fine statistical first half. He rushed for 101 yards and threw for 76 more. But the speedy sophomore dislocated two fingers on his left hand and sat out most of the final two quarters.

The Florida native moved his team early but struggled to finish drives. The Wolverines converted just one of three red-zone opportunities.

"We would get inside the 10, but we've got to score then," said Robinson, who coughed up a key fumble at the OSU 9-yard line in the first half. "We were going pretty goBewertungen und Erfahrungsberichte zu den seriösesten Onlineshops im Bereich lacosteshoes00.od but they pretty much twisted me and just stripped me.Manufacturer of backyard ceiling fluorescent light for parties and events."

The Michigan defense, berated all season long as one of the nation's worst units, started strong. The Buckeyes went three-and-out on their first two drives before quarterback Terrelle Pryor converted a third down with a 39-yard bullet to Dane Sanzenbacher. That play seemed to wake up Ohio State and begin an offensive onslaught that led to 478 total yards.
