Please, God

Please please pretty please make this happen.

- Former Syracuse University head football coach Greg Robinson may be headed to the University of Michigan to serve as defensive coordinator. One source said it's a done deal.

As you can imagine, reaction on the Michigan side ranges from "Hey guys, let's give this a chance" to "ARE YOU F&%@#NG KIDDING ME?"

MGoBlog has this to say.

Robinson was a horrendous, horrendous recruiter. This year a kid decommitted from Syracuse to go to Central Michigan. He is old and his energy level will only dip. Rumor is that he doesn't swear and looks down on those who do, which, like… that whole "fit" thing mentioned earlier, right?
Maybe the abject failure at Syracuse was one of recruiting, motivation, and roster assembly, and not schemes, but since Rodriguez doesn't coach the defense at all he's really hiring someone to be head coach of half his team. In that context, Greg Robinson seems like a horrible choice.

After watching our offense tag 55 points on Greg Robinson's defense in the Carrier Dome this year, I wholeheartedly endorse this hire.

Awesome

Man, after LJ Sr, defensive coach pickings must be slim.

I know........

these guys say it isn’t about the money and clearly it isn’t. I think PSU should step up and pay these guys what they are really worth. PSU’s recruiting budget is absolutely pathetic and they are still putting a program on the field that easily funds every other sport. Give em some loot.

We’re “supposed” to get two more 2009 commits this weekend, and one of them will be a big one

Seriously, we’ve had a blessed week.
