Sometimes you’re just a bad fit. I wonder if Richt’s retirement is a case of that.

He had a top ten recruiting class to work with the year he took over as well as after his first year. He went 3-9, then 5-7. He had the talent on the field, but he was a bad coach with bad position coaches. The players hated him, but the defections started after the 3-9 season. The failures were all his.
I am not saying that the PTB at UM are not a pain. They are. But the problem was RichRod. As soon as he left, Hoke took his players and created a winning team.
You're right..............forgot about him. OK, but not Kyler Murray. Not even close. The entire team looked lost, in the semi-final game that they lost. (The TV guys tried to equate Allen to Bama, but the other team had the speed, strength and size to look like Bama.)
And then Hoke hit his high water mark with those classes, and promptly fell apart as they moved on.
There were defections before he got there, and he had to make due with the duo of Threet and Sheridan at QB to start his career. No way that was going to end well. Manningham and Arrington also left.
Then he had Forcier and Shoelace, which improved the offense, but the D never improved. And, again, he supposedly wasn’t allowed to bring in his preference at DC, a guy that knew how to run his preferred 335.
Just glad Rodriguez and "Big Hair" Rita did not come to Tuscaloosa. BTW, the humidity is really bad in Oxford.
I’d like to take this opportunity to again thank Rita and Rod for not coming to Tuscaloosa 12 years ago.
I lived a stone's throw from Rich Rod. I am a little surprised by this move for a few reasons.
"Three and Out" by John Bacon was a good book on the Michigan (and to a degree, Alabama) debacle. It's about time for a sequel.

He was a cultural misfit in the Midwest. He was perfect for WVU as was Rita. Should have stayed.

Richt’s was more him looking around at the dumpster formerly known as “The U” and knowing it wasn’t going to ever be that again. It is so far behind in facilities and every other aspect that you have to have to compete he grabbed and threw the first white thing he could find. He was way to old for the type of overhaul and energy that’s required down there. Not sure if it’s even possible.

Rich and Rita might get their chance to “go home again”. With Hogo headed back to Houston, rumor is that Rich Rod’s name has come up as a possible replacement.
Like all the sofas burned on the town square? (Do they even have anything as sophisticated as a "town square"?)
This is the funniest part of the move. Mz. Big Hair was willing to live in Morgantown, and now is content to live in Oxford, with all the plastic people who play "dress up" on Saturdays. But could not lower her standards to living in T-town.
We should start a GoFundMe to buy her a year's supply of hair spray, for staying away from us.
Boy did we ever dodge a bullet in Rich Rod. Probably one of the few times I appreciated Finebaum and his cast of clowns....
Rodriguez is a slime ball.
