Justin Boren (OL) leaves Michigan - Notre Dame Football Discussion

Mattmags · 03-28-2008, 12:03 AM

Boren states...
"I have great trouble accepting that those family values have eroded in just a few months. " ... That I am unable to perform under these circumstances at the level I expect of myself, and my teammates and Michigan fans deserve, is why I have made the decision to leave."

Looks like Rodriguez's approach to coaching isn't what Michigan players are used to. I think this may be the start of a few disgruntled players who are not happy about the attitude change around Spring Practices. Every coach has his own style, and Rodriguez has obviously had much success with his coaching style. However, many players liked Lloyd for his laid back style and division of responsibilities to the players.

Also a tidbit of information. To my knowledge, this leaves only 1 starting offensive lineman from last year on the team for '08. looks like our Defense is going to get an opportunistic chance to prove themselves early against a nationally recognized Michigan team.

I hope Dickrod runs the program right into the ground! I used to at least respect scUM for running a mostly clean program. I feel safe in saying that won't be the case under Rodriguez.

He won't run the program into the ground. Get all the whiners out, he'll have a NC contending team in less than 3 years. As much as I hate to say it.

ESPN radio-columbus was discussing this yesterday and Justin certainly left a little too loudly in this case.

I'm sure he, like others, are upset about the changes taking place. He's given years to the program, only to have it changed toward the end of his career there. It's a tough situation, and I wouldn't be happy either.

From an objective point of view...I would not want this kid on my team, but on the other hand Screw Blue
