Rich Rodriquez (closed, see Rodriguez, with a G)

[The Man]

Some WVU fans think they are going to target Al Groh or Tommy Bowden to fill the spot.

Al Groh could be had for a sack of nickels.

I think you're being generous Man. Groh isn't worth Confederate money. It still looks like RichRod isn't a done deal yet.

Is Pat Hill that happy at Fresno State? Every time a big time position becomes available I am shocked his name isn't mentioned more. ESPECIALLY when the Miami job came open.

Pat Hill's lack of a true break through season out there hurts him. They play for big OOC wins and not conference titles. I think he works with a lot of borderline academic/character guys.

Pat Hill went what, 2-10 or something this year? If he's not careful, he'll go the way of Gary Nord and the other flavor of the month coaches that get mentioned for big jobs for a brief time, then end up getting fired at their "lesser" gig later.

Is he that good of a coach? Seems like the opposite of Cooper. He can get his team up for big games but chokes away the smaller games and ends up losing conference titles.

From the wvu lou game thread...

I saw WVU closeup in the spring...the level of athletes is shocking. The success they have is a testament to Rod...and the schedule. However, he is one hell of a coach and if WVU doesnt give him the facilities he wants, he will leave soon.

Josh, you have an incredible memory...apparently this is a complete shock to everyone if it happens. I spoke with a recruit last night who called his WVU recruiter yesterday as this news was leaking. The coach was clueless and said Rod had told the team and staff he was not leaving...could this be a power play? We'll find out.

Which is a plus in recruiting for WVU!

Center Dan Mozes added, "I'm disappointed. He said he was going to be there his whole career. I'd think he'd stick to his word. If you graduated from there and were a coach there, why would you leave? Maybe it's the money."

E!spn, the ones who were quick to jump on the "fact" that he's the new bama coach, are now quick to jump on the "fact" that he's staying.

Big shock from these assholes.

A lot of those WVU posters should be ashmaed of themselves the way they turned on him.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Especially since he was doing everything to upgrade the football program at their school.

 

[osugrad21]

Looks like those renovations are suddenly affordable

It's funny, talk radio that was blasting him hours ago is now all about "We knew he would stay."

That's funny :)
