He’s Rich Rodriguez, and he found the Internet. From the AP:

Rich Rodriguez loves to win — and he hates to lose as much as anyone. Michigan’s coach, though, tries to keep as much perspective as he can. Rodriguez has his wife and kids around him after practices, at the team hotel and on bus trips to the stadium. His office door is always wide open, allowing visitors to say hello. Heading into his first Michigan-Ohio State game — where the Wolverines are expected to extend their dubious record with a ninth loss — he tried to deliver a message to fans who have lost touch.

“It’s amazing some of the things that people would say [on a message board] or yell at you of a personal nature,” Rodriguez said Monday. “You almost want to tell them, ‘Get a life.’ There’s a whole lot bigger problems. Look at the economy.“

But Rich, those Henry Paulson message boards are a breeding ground for wackos and pornographers. And besides, in case you haven’t noticed: this is their life. Funny how rabid fans are never a problem in good times. Just in bad times. Can’t have it both ways.
