Why does everyone hate the RichRod?

I understand why West Virginia people hate him, but why does everyone else? For anyone that DOESN'T know, Rich Rodriguez is the former West Va coach who now coaches (as of 11:17 am on April 14, 2010) at Michigan. After RichRod left the Neers for the Wolverines before WVU's bowl game against Bob Stoops, people were KILLING RichRod in the press and on blogs and everything thing else because it was a messy divorce. (PS, West Va, you should have known this guy was who he was because he leveraged the Bama job for more cash and the good ones NEVER do stuff like that).

But then once he got to Michigan, players started leaving and then he got in some trouble when some former players popped off about how he surpassed the 20 hours/week rule (which EVERY college team does. Let's be serious here).

Michigan failed to go to a bowl the first two years under RichRod and now some dirt is trying to be unearthed at WVU that would put RichRod in some more hot water.

My question is....why are people out to get RichRod? I understand West Virginia people (they are inbred most of them), who want him to fail, even though he brought that program to the highest it will ever go to in this day and age and he's an alum, just because they are bitter. Have you ever MET anyone from West Virginia?

But why are Michigan people anxious to get him out of there. Umm, last time I checked, if RichRod ever gets a chance to get his players into the program, he will OWN the Big11. Seriously. He will OWN it. Penn State, Ohio State, Wisco, Purdue, Sparty, all of those school will bow down to Michigan if he can get a Pat White/Steve Slaton/Noel Devine in there. And it can happen, just be patient folks. He has a pretty good incoming freshman QB and if he is allowed to tutor him, Michigan will run circles around the slow Big 11. He has 9 wins built into his schedule every year. The Big 11 is just the Big East but with its own network and Pam Ward. Seriously. the football is about the same, BUT you get the Chicago market instead of the Pittsburgh market.

I am not certain why everyone hates RichRod. Maybe he's a dick. I don't know. I've never met him. Do people like what he did to WVA? You mean the same thing Saban did with LSU AND the Dolphins? The same thing Brian Kelly did? The same thing EVERY coach does that leaves one program for another does.

Michigan people need to chill out and West Va people need to stop burning couches and throwing them off their trailers. Hey West Va, get over yourselves. You are angry he left you with Bill Stewart. Blame your AD, not RichRod.
