One of them holler feuds no doubt.
According to emails obtained by the AP, Rich Rod was demanding a "culture change" at WVU, and more control over the athletic department and more unfettered control over HIS football program.
Here's another red flag, the emails showed his AGENT, Mike Brown screeching Rodriguez should get more control over the money raised through a booster organization.
More control over the athletic department and more control over a booster club bank account? I mean he'd never just up and leave so what's the harm? What could possibly go wrong with these new powers?
I'm sure the Michigan Athletic Department is giving Rich the keys to everything he demands. Booster money the coach has access to, changes in the way Michigan does business, changes in AD personnel, and no oversight, WHO CARES about accountability, Michigan's running the spread offense!

OK, this falls under the RED FLAG ALERT for new U-M head football coach Rich Rodriguez (Updated)
It appears the day after taking the Michigan head job, Rich was a busy guy. According to the Detroit Free Press, Rich went back with his team video editor and SHREDDED and SHREDDED and SHREDDED documents pertaining to the West Virginia football program.......for the last SEVEN YEARS.
The Free Press, via the Charleston Gazette, said Rodriguez “destroyed all or most of the paperwork filed relating to every player on the Mountaineer roster and virtually all of the activities conducted by the programs over the past seven years.”
NICE. What a guy. He knows he owes West Virginia 4 million in a buyout for leaving so is it a cooincidence these documents get shredded? What else was in these documents? Remember, this is the guy who foisted PacMan Jones on the world right out of college.
So, Rich WHY'D ya do it? It doesn't pass any kind of smell test here, you know, the Michigan Way. YCD seriously doubts Bo Schembechler nor Lloyd Carr would have EVER done anything this shady.
Right on cue, Rodriguez and Michigan spokesheads were not available for comment.
UPDATE-According to a West Virginia Athletic Department employee (who asked not to be named) we learn the following:
Via ESPN:
"It's unbelievable. Everything is gone, like it never existed. Good, bad or indifferent, we don't have a record of anything that has happened."
According to the source, the missing files include all of the players' personal files, which encompass contact information, scholarship money awarded, class attendance records and personal conduct records, the Gazette reported.
"If a player spoke to a school or did public service, we don't have a record of it,'' the source said, according to the newspaper. "If he broke a rule or missed class, we don't have a record of that, either. We don't have anything. All the good things these kids have done over the years, there's nothing -- not a picture of somebody speaking to a class, nothing. Why would somebody do that?"
