We know his team choked in their biggest "rivalry game" during his tenure.

...and he was caught on camera crying like a little brat kid that was told he couldn't have a cookie on the sidelines in another one. Does anybody have a screenshot of that? I think it was the South Florida game last year.

Then, in 1988, the pieces fell into place; West Virginia football was the talk of the nation, posting a perfect 11-0 regular season mark, the first undefeated campaign for Nehlen over three decades of coaching at the high school and collegiate levels. The undefeated effort included wins over Syracuse, Pitt, and Penn State en route to West Virginia's first-ever Lambert Trophy and a berth opposite Notre Dame in the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl playing for the national championship. Don Nehlen, Major Harris, Renaldo Turnbull, Chris Haering, Bo Orlando, and Reggie Rembert became household names, bringing the success story of Mountaineer football into living rooms across the nation.

That fight paid dividends in 1993, when West Virginia was again at the forefront of the national championship hunt. Predicted to finish no better than fourth, West Virginia went a perfect 7-0 in Big East play, winning the league's first-ever round-robin championship with victories over Syracuse, Boston College, and Miami (the Hurricanes' first loss ever in Big East play). Posting another 11-0 regular season, the Mountaineers advanced as high as second in the national polls and accepted a bid to the USF&G Sugar Bowl, facing the Florida Gators.

Where they folded like a cheap suit. Thing is, they don't have to have to get to a point where the game is that important. Like it or not, that game is on the schedule every year. This ain't no backyard brawl. :wink:

Michigan's future at quarterback: Rich Rodriguez's 2009 targets | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press


Quick rundown on scum's top two targets for quarterback, Tate Forcier and Kevin Newsom, but it doesn't look promising . . .

Bottom line: A pass-first QB, Forcier would be more in the mold of a Shaun King-type quarterback that Rodriguez has dealt with in the past. Some experts believe he?ll stay out west since both of his brothers quarterback Pac 10 schools, but he boasts an offer list of more than 25 schools spanning all over the country.

One potential barrier for Michigan: Newsome has previously stated he?d prefer to play in a pro-style offense.

I get your point but even DN didn't have them at such a high level with such consistancy.

RR certainly had them ranked higher with more consistency, however with arguably less competition (with Miami gone). You can certainly argue that RR did not get them to the ultimate level that Nehlen did, in NC berths.

Agreed for the most part. I think had Rich Rod stayed at WVU he would have surpassed DN in what he accomplished. I would be naive to think the "defection" of a few teams wouldn't have something to do with that though.

Yes. Down with these Michigan folk, I say.

Have these idiots found a QB yet?

Or a RB?

Or an O-line?

QB, O-line, I'll give you. RB? Are you nuts? RB is without any doubt in the world the strongest position on the team. We're absolutely stacked, and will be further stacked in the fall.

Experience tells me this is the sort of assertion that makes people go NO WAY DUDE - but I'd put our RBs up against any RB corps in the Big Ten. Even OSU, based on sheer numbers. You might as well not quote numbers at me, because I know our guys aren't going to stack up in the stats department. But Brown and Minor could probably start for any Big Ten team but OSU and Wisconsin. Horn looks like a keeper, Grady looks healthy, Moundros is set to play a big role at fullback, and oh yeah - McGuffie shows up in the fall. RB is the least of our concerns.
