At WVU, he had no intense in-state rival. He was from WV. It was easy. Here, he has an MSU program that is on what looks like a sustained rise and a rabid fan-base that is irrational in their need to live vicariously through the team.
If UM does not win 6 games this year, I would not be surprised if RR says "Fuck it." If UM goes 5-7 or less, RR is going to feel like he is in a pressure cooker in hell and no amount of Rita`s pole-dancing will help.
The upshot will be that UM will buy the state of Louisiana to secure Les Miles. He will then clean up the huge mess RR made and UM will once again be a dominant program. However, it will no longer enjoy the in-state dominance it did prior to RR. UM will be competing with MSU on an even field. That is what RR will ultimately cost UM. Kind of like if Ed Martin had been the basketball coach.
