This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No ND coach was as bad as RichRod was to Michigan by domer4

Not Davie, not Weis, not even Willingham.

Lost to a 3-9 Toledo team at home. The two other teams Toledo beat that year was a 2-10 Miami of Ohio and a 3-9 EMU. Is any lost that WeisDavieWillingham ever had at ND that bad? I don't think so.

Ends a 30 plus year streak of bowl appearances.

Ends a 40 plus year streak of .500 or above records.

Puts them on probation.

Costs them millions to buy him out of the WVU contract and millions more to get out of the remainder of his Michigan contract.

All for 3 years of work.

You could argue that Weis cost ND more - but I would disagree. He got us to a BCS bowl game in 2005 that paid $12 million or so? Netting that against what we paid him - I think RichRod costs Michigan more dollar wise.

And we certain didn't have the expense of the NCAA investigation or defense that RichRod required either.
