After just three seasons at the University of Michigan, RichRod has been fired as the head coach of the school's football program. Despite having his best season yet, his team still underperformed, having a terrible defense and still barely scraping up a winning record, ending the season at 7-6. Rodriguez had one of the best players in the nation in Denard Robinson, but he failed to produce a better-than-average supporting cast for Robinson, and pretty soon opposing teams knew they could tear up the Michigan defense and knew they just had to slow Robinson to shut down the offense.
The nail was probably slammed into Rodriguez's coffin when his team suffered through a 38-point loss in the Gator Bowl, losing to Mississippi State, 52-14. The loss was an unnecessary and disappointing game for the fans of college football's winningest program.
Rodriguez finished his three years at Michigan with a record of 15-22. This is very disappointing for a coach who nearly made it to the national championship game with West Virginia and who fled after a head coaching record of 60-26 in Morgantown.
