<<...I think Rich Rodriguez will get it figured out...>> Clappy: I hope you're right...there are A LOT of frustrated Michigan Alums, Fans and Donors...they are not used to seeing the team go 3-9 in a season...It hasn't ever happened in my lifetime...I remember going to see Bo Schembechler coach games in Ann Arbor when I was a kid...and Lloyd Carr was an assistant under Bo and he developed into an effective leader who never had a losing season as Michigan's coach...Many of the Alums wanted the Athletic Director to find "a Michigan Man" who had played or coached under Bo...it didn't work out that way and I think you're right that we could be in for a painful adjustment...I hope the new coach and the Michigan team can rebound starting in 2009...fyi...

At Michigan, Schembechler became one of college football's greatest coaches. He won a school-record 194 games, lost only 48, and tied five for a winning percentage of .796. His teams never posted a losing season. In Big Ten Conference play, he had a record of 143-24-3 for a winning percentage of .850.

Schembechler led the Wolverines to a total of 17 bowl games, going 5-12 in 21 years, placing him ninth in all-time bowl appearances. He was voted national coach of the year in 1969 by both the American Football Coaches Association and the Football Writers Association of America...>>
