Great hire if it happens. Good for Rich Rod...I think if he had a little more time at Michigan they could have been a solid program under him. We'll see what happens here.

Rich Rod is one of my most hated players/coaches in sports. He single handily ruined Michigan football for years.
How can you blame anyone but him? He sucks.

He will do well in the Pac 10 with that offense. They don't play defense out there anyway.

He wasn't a good fit at Michigan because Big 10 is still playing like it's 1979. Give him a few years to get some brothers from FL and CA down to Tucson and the PAC 12 is going to be real entertaining. The guy is a great offensive mind and it appears AZ is going to pump dough into the football program.

Agree. Good spot for him. Low pressure is where he can thrive. He just needs to know his place.

So far the comments seem to fall in two categories:
1. Those that think that this is a good hire for AZ
2. Disgruntled Michigan fans
Put me in the first category.

Good for Rich Rod.
Glad to see him land on his feet.
He got a raw deal at Michigan.

I think he just brought a system into Michigan that didn't fit the athletes....but he did bring in the Denard Robinson if I'm not mistaken, so he did do something for Michigan. If the Blue didn't have him they would really be hosed. I think his offensive mind will fit well at Arizona...it's a good catch for a program such as Arizona

You can't win in the Big Ten with that BS offense, only works in crappy conferences like the Big East.
Denard is not that good, his QB IQ is incredibly low. He may be the dumbest QB in division 1. We are hosed because Rich Rod recruited a bunch of shit players. Brady Hoke is already changing everything and we are on the right track again because of him. I hope he recruits a pocket passer who will start as a freshman, I am sick of Denard, really don't want him starting next year.
One of the few good things Rich Rod did is get Fitzgerald Toussaint. Guy is a beast.
