The Rodriguez experience at Michigan will be over if the Woverines suffer an embarrassing loss in the Gator Bowl tomorrow. Even with a win, his days are probably numbered.
His buyout falls from $4 million down to $2.5 million on January 1st. Many heavy hitters (big donors) simply don't like him and that's never good even if you are winning.
Ask Phil Fulmer (TN) about big donors......got his ass fired.
I follow the program pretty closely and say its about a 65%-70% chance that he is gone. It really all depends on one man and that's Jim Harbaugh. If Harbaugh decides to go pro I don't think they will stick with Rich Rod. Tbh I don't think the bowl game has anything to do with his status as a coach.
