I am black Irish as a result of the unsuccessful Spanish armada. My Spanish roots are somewhat of a scandal for some pretty Irish lass.
Nevertheless, I feel that RR got the shaft; the "real UM People" never wanted him and were not supportive. It kinds of reminds me of ND and Dan Devine with his lack of support.

is that him singing at the banquet?
Has Michigan found its man?
A few weeks back, there were rumors flying around that Bo Pelini was leaving Nebraska for Miami. Bo was quick to publically state that he was not interested in that vacancy and the rumor was later validated as false.
There is another rumor, and the Toledo Blade is reporting that Bo Pelini is in fact interested in the head coaching position at Michigan. Money appears to be the big draw. Regardless, Bo Pelini took over a Nebraska team that was in complete disarray defensively. In short order, the defense is without a doubt the strength of the current Cornhuskers. This story appears to be gaining some traction...especially on some of the Cornhusker boards. Perhaps it's just a play for more money (Bo currently is paid $2.1M annually...Michigan appears willing to spend ~$5M). Rather intriging situation to me. Anyway, here is the Toledo Blade link: toledoblade.com -- The Blade ~ Toledo Ohio

I would too. But it would be intriguing if they hired Pelini this late in the recruiting season...and with Nebraska joining the Big Ten in football next season. Makes for a compelling story line.

I think most of us saw this one coming. After their horrible bowl loss, the deal was done I think. He wont be unemployed very long though.
True, he was seen as an outsider and never accepted or supported by the various factions in-fighting within the athletic department. With 19 returning starters, including their only Heisman candidate in years, he would have been rolling on offense. At that point they would only need an average defense to be vying for the B10 championship. Now they get to start over!
Wht they reap for treating an "outsider" so badly is that quality coaches aren't interested in stepping into the quicksand that is Michigan today. They need to clean up the athletic department, get everyone on one page, then the job will be more attractive to coaches who aren't emotionally tied to the school. They are insisting on this inbred "Michigan Man" crap when in reality that is the only type of person who will be interested. The Northwestern coach already said no; the last time they went shopping they were turned down for the likes of Rutgers.
Unless they pull off a miracle and get Harbaugh (seems unlikely as of today) they are going to get slaughtered by Alabama to start off a brutal 2012 schedule.
