shouldnt have changed qbs...

I think you meant to say "after 2009," or maybe you meant to say "should HAVE been fired after 2008." Either way, its typical for RichRod haters like you to have mental issues. Whether Michigan "should" be a spread team is dependent on one thing: does the spread work? and the resounding answer is YES! RichRod will make Michigan into an absolute powerhouse that will own the Big Ten and win multiple national championships and BCS Bowl games. You watch.

Go Blue!

wow, eat your words much?

[sportsfreak800]

Yeah, like when we used the spread against Florida. That worked out terribly for us.

Oh Yeah! I am a fan of RR. I was just trying to brag on Mathews a little bit. I am super excited about this year.

GO BLUE!!!

[wolverineboss]

Well yeah. The entire team would have done pretty good (like 8-4 or 9-3) if we had stayed inhouse with a coach like English. But we would have also gone 8-4 or 9-3 in 2010, 2011, 2012, and beyond. We had to suffer that 3-9 season last year under RichRod that way we can go 11-1 or 12-0 in 2010, 2011, 2012, etc. We never would have returned to being a college football powerhouse under a Carr clone like we will under Richrod. You feel me on that?

Go Blue!

Mathews did pretty good on a 3-9 team, but I get what your sayin'. If Ron English or sombedy else is coach and Mallett stays then I think Mathews is big time. Hopefully this year!

[wolverineboss]

But I don't think he's the Big tens BEST. Benn is is indeed the best cause he can run with the ball in addition to being an excellent pass-catcher. He was one of only two receivers in the Big Ten to crack the 1000 yard mark last season, and he did that on a 5-7 team. I'm going to have to agree with ESPN on this one.

[wolverineboss]

I think Mathews is a really good receiver. I think he is about as talented as Jason Avant. He's a possession receiver who lacks speed but who makes up for it with great hands, leaping ability, and smarts. I know his stats don't compare to Avant, but then again, how can you when you're on a team that went 3-9? I think if Mathews has like a 2nd team all big ten senior year, he'll be drafted.

[hogeboon19]

What do you think about Greg Mathews? I believe he is the Big Ten's best. He should have the #1 Jersey this year. Those people on ESPN believe that Benn from Illinois is.

[wolverineboss]

Okay. If you say so. At least give him two more years to see what he can do with his players and his quarterbacks. Last season most of the players on offense were Carrs prostyle players, and we had two immobile quarterbacks in Threet and Sheridan. This season, we have two dual threat QB's in Denard and Tate, and we have way more of richrods players, while many of Carrs prostyle players have jumped ship (Threet, Toney Clemons, Carson Butler, Zion Babb, Avery Horn, Dann O Neill, Kurt Wermers).

I really honestly wish I believed what you say wolverine boss but I just have to go with commodorefan on this one. I dont think Rich has what it takes to coach UVM.

I really just wanna see how 2009 plays out with Tate Forcier and 2010 with Devin Gardner
