Name of the book is Three and Out:
Cliff Note:
*Basically the author shows how a reporter (Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press) fakes ? (like Scott Templeton on the Wire) and ? up a coaching career at Michigan before it even starts
*Show how the ex coach (Carr) screws over both Les Miles (who should had been in the running -- rumors was that he cheated with Moeller's wife during Bo's tenure and Carr bitchassness still try to holds that over him) and also screws RRod, even after he was the one who made the offer to him to come to Michigan.Plus, soon as RRod signs to UM, he personally offered every player an transfer or let them go pro just so they don't play for RRod (the ultimate ? move)
*The A.D. (Bill Martin) who is such an ? A.D. -- ? over the coaching search.

Even though I'm a Michigan fan, I do read sports of all teams, I like sports stories in general....and you should read, it a pretty big eye opener....it also covers the WVU buyout stuff...............

In this unprecedented look at college football’s secret season, Bruce Feldman rips the cover off the game’s frenzied pursuit of raw talent, taking you deep inside the SEC war room of recruiting legend Ed Orgeron,the combustible Cajun who helped build national championship teams at the University of Miami and at USC. In a stunning, blow-by-blow account of the year leading up to National Signing Day 2007, the award-winning journalist shadows Orgeron and his Ole Miss assistants as they set about hunting high school students, pleading, plotting, and inventing ways to lure them to their sleepy Oxford campus. Packed with candid confessions and outrageous off-the-field action, Meat Market makes what happens on the field seem almost tame by comparison.
If Ol' Ed could coach half as good as he can recruit, that MFer would have had Ole ? in the National stage for years. -

I'm trying to remember a few of his recruits that year, but I def remember that class being South Panola (Batesville, MS) pipeline heavy...those South Panola boys are coveted every year...it actually breaking news if Miss. State or any other SEC schools get them beside Ole ? .......
