In the words of Allen Iverson, "[i]ts just practice."

I know, it's not RichRod's fault. After all, he hired Rosemary Woods to be his secretary! Look it up on Wikipedia if you don't understand the reference.

I don't know how serious this is, but found it interesting that the Lage AP story went into some detail on RR's contract, how he could be fired for cause over NCAA violations. I wonder if that's just Lage stoking embers or an indication that UM execs are talking about those details. It seems too early, but there could be ulterior issues accelerating the process. About the most damning thing RR said is they don't make halftime adjustments....very lame considering all the 2nd-half collapses. Also I never heard him stand-up for his defensive players after their talent and athleticism were denigrated by his media pals Nehlen and King. A strong coach would've made a point to say something like "I don't know what other people are saying, but we know these guys have talent...it's just a matter of us coaching them so it translates into success on the field." So yes, this could be a way out for the University. If Miles stepped into the void I would support it. At this stage, do you think 52-3 would get RR fired?

It's Rich Rod...he does'nt need to file practice logs. He does'nt follow the rules. He'll bring on his tears and all will be right with his true followers.
