I don't mean this to be a flame and I'm not talking about the personalties or character of the two coaches.
But there seems to be a similarity to the respective situations. Before Rodriguez, Michigan ran a drop back passer, power running, pro-style offense that had put a bunch of QBs in the NFL.
Rodriguez ran the spread option and had problems adjusting for the personnel that existed when he assumed coaching duties at Michigan.
Rodriguez was also a good recruiter with Michigan finishing 10, 8, and 20 in his three years.
It's seems like there are similarities between Michigan with Richrod and Penn State with Franklin and if that's the case then past may be prelude.
