Tuesday January 11th, 2011-- Detroit Fox News reports that Rich Rodriguez has been fired from his position as head coach of the University of Michigan football team.Rumors of UM ending Rodriguez' contract have been circling for weeks, if not months. It appears that the final Gator Bowl game loss to Mississippi State (score 52-14 was the largest bowl game loss by Michigan in school history) was the last straw.
Additionally, Rodriguez went 0-3 with Michigan rivals Ohio State in his tenure at UM, and 0-3 against in-state rivals Michigan State.
An article from Detroit Fox News reports that UM "Althletic Director David Brandon would not immediately name a replacement."
