Rich Rodriguez on Jim Harbaugh, Michigan's struggles, Dave Brandon and more

Former Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez praised current Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh during a recent podcast but said Harbaugh and his staff must “look under the hood” and examine what is ailing the program from attitude to coaching to recruiting.

Rodriguez was interviewed by his daughter, Raquel, during the latest episode of his “Hard Edge Football with Rich Rod” podcast. Together, they revisited his time at Michigan, 2008-10, the hiring process, his introductory press conference, what type of team he inherited and how his three seasons evolved. He finished 15-22 before then-athletic director Dave Brandon decided to make a coaching change.
