As a Michigan alum, I lived through it and a lot of what Bacon writes was pretty much the rumors on the street.  The former players and alumni were out for Rich Rod from Day 1.  He wasn't a "Michigan Man" and came to the school without what they thought was an appropriate knowledge and appreciation for Michigan traditions.

The epic terrible first season just made it worse, missing out on a bowl in year 2 pretty much made it a foregone conclusion that without winning at least eight games, Rodriguez would be done.  Not firing Rodriguez before the bowl game vs. Mississippi State in year 3 was so he would hang himself, knowing that they would likely get their ass kicked.

Rosenberg is a douchebag who had an axe to grind with Rodriguez for some reason (some reasons speculated).  His "investigation" was bullshit and the investigation into his charges showed as much.  Michigan took penalties to make it go away.

What happened after Carr left is fascinating.  If you're so inclined, go back through MGoBlog from during that time.
