The author, a local sports writer, is very sympathetic to Rodriguez.

Suggests that he was undercut by many Michigan Men, including Carr who apparently called RR and convinced him to take the job. He calls out a writer, Rosenberger, for targeting RR unfairly and documents the constant stream of investigations that took place at least during the first two years.

Surprising stuff. I actually now feel badly for RR. I didn't think that was possible.

Now reading about the second year - [B]Robinson's defense is playing very badly[/B] - not hitting or tackling well or with any intensity. [B]So, far very little comment about GRob other than an quick observation that Rodriguez had a great deal of respect for him. [/B]Presumably more will be said as the book goes on.

It should be noted that during Year No. 2,  Michigan had only 14 seniors - the team was very young.

I am getting the feeling as I read that the 2011 performance of the team may very well be a function of the players having more experience and the elimination of all the side show stuff that dogged RR during his three years.
