COLUMBUS, Ohio - Rich Rodriguez is cooking. His lips were trained in a thin line, his jaw set in a non-breaking space.
Minutes after his team beat Michigan at Ohio State for the third time in three years in charge of the Wolverines received - this time a 37-7 trampling - Rodriguez has been frozen and ready for public her plea to prevent his starting job as head coach at Michigan.
Despite the fact that Michigan lost to OSU in the seventh year running, despite his team's 7-5 record is its first win of the season in Ann Arbor, and if the horse chestnut, dominated 100 - 24 in the last three years.
"I checked," said Rodriguez. "Sing what you're going to jump me and hold hands with all the fans and the Buckeyes Kumbaya? I mean, I wish we played better. Our guys played hard, and to be expected. But I wish that we had better. Designed as a coach, we must try to put in a position where they play games. I'll be crazy for a while. "
Whether to eliminate the possibility of Rodriguez, his anger and gain some measure of revenge against the Buckeyes will next season, but the question is. Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said he had nothing to report, when he was at Ohio Stadium. Rodriguez said he has "things" with his players after the game, would not disclose details.
Rodriguez said that pressure from fans who felt the anger, those who have a "firerrod.com" Web site created and sat opposite him, as he fell to 15-21 in three seasons with the Wolverines.
Ohio State fans, on the other hand, created a big red flag that they are behind the Michigan bench in the moments of play at the closing, instead of reading "Viva Rodriguez! It was a game of domination OSU in this rivalry of late, including the 30-point victory Saturday, winning the second worst since 1968 Buckeyes.
"We want progress, but not as much as some people, not as much as I want," said Rodriguez. "Are you kidding me? I'm not used to be, you know. I am not accustomed. These cars are not used. We are accustomed to championships and BCS bowls and stuff, too.
"It was frustrating as hell. But I am not discouraged, because I, we, I, what we do and know, I know what we have in the program and I know what it takes do about it are white. "
Rodriguez was, of course, a successful West Virginia program that was 32-5 there in his last three seasons. Rodriguez recalled that his defense of Michigan has three true freshmen, and that recruit only two classes, since he arrived in Michigan. Change takes time, "he said.
"Sometimes it's a little longer, until the program of the form in which you want to mold," he said. "It's even more obstacles in their path. ... This does not mean you can not do it. I'm not a bit discouraged.
"I think the worst is behind us. I know it is. But everyone will have his own opinion about this, and it's a good thing." Everyone is welcome. But I feel so safe today, and I think there are 100-some players and coaches and people who follow our tight schedule, so I feel confident that happen. It is much slower than I want. much more slowly than our fans want, I do not blame them for that. But I am not discouraged by it. "
Asked if he will return next season or "hopes" expects Rodriguez to return was a simple answer.
"I'm going to work tomorrow, as always," he said.
