Always liked Rick Leach. He's one of the good ones. And yep Rich Rod is the wrong fit but they're stuck with him for at least 2 years.

After listening to the interview I felt better knowing that we have to let the smoke clear and weather whatever storms should occur. If Rich Rod can make winners out of the Wolverines by his third season, then that's awesome. But for the time being, we just have to bear with what we have.

Nick Sheridan out for the spring with a broken leg

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan quarterback Nick Sheridan will miss the rest of spring drills with a broken leg.
<DIV =in_info__btm>


Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez said on Thursday that Sheridan was injured during a scrimmage on Tuesday.


Sheridan is expected to be out for four to six weeks and should be able to work out with his teammates this summer.


He started four games last season, going 63-of-137 for 613 yards passing with two touchdowns and five interceptions. He shared time with Steven Threet, who said last month he plans to transfer.


In five practices this spring, Sheridan split time running the first-string offense with freshman Tate Forcier, who enrolled early to improve his chances of starting in the fall.

Former Duke basketball star Greg Paulus might play QB for Michigan; also contacted by 6 NFL teams.

The former Duke point guard was in Ann Arbor on Tuesday
meeting with Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez about the
possibility of playing this season for the Wolverines, Duke spokesman
Art Chase said Wednesday.


The 6-foot-1 Paulus, who was the
Gatorade National Player of the Year as a standout quarterback at
Christian Brothers Academy in New York, has one year of eligibility
left for football after playing four years of basketball at Duke.


He
watched Michigan practice Tuesday afternoon and could fit in with
Rodriguez's spread offense. The Wolverines don't have a clear-cut
starting quarterback, and Paulus could come in and play immediately.


Two
Michigan freshmen, Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson, will likely
compete with Nick Sheridan for the starting spot. Sheridan, however,
has a small fracture in his lower right leg. Rodriguez said that
Sheridan's injury won't require surgery, but he should be out two to
three more weeks.


Sources also told FOXSports.com that Paulus,
who worked out last Thursday for the Packers in Durham, N.C., has been
contacted by a half-dozen NFL teams and several other college programs.


Paulus, 22, started three seasons for Blue Devils coach Mike
Krzyzewski but came off the bench this season. Coming out of high
school, he was recruited by numerous big-time football programs, and
schools such as Notre Dame would have allowed him to play both sports.


Paulus,
however, has not played football since graduating high school, when he
threw for 11,763 yards and 152 touchdowns in 45 career games and led
CBA to a 42-3 record in four seasons. His younger brother, Mike, is a
reserve quarterback at North Carolina.


Paulus, according to one
source, is still exploring the possibility of continuing his basketball
career but was caught off-guard when a Packers scout contacted him a
couple weeks ago after the Blue Devils' season ended with a loss to
Villanova in the Sweet 16.
