Rich Rodriguez, the 2006 hott coach o’ the year, has finally agreed to a contract extension with West Virginia, which pays him a measly million a year to stay in his dream job at Morgantown. The base salary of $150,000 remains, but Coach Rod (the ultimate porn name in coaching and the name of his website, too) will make $850K in extras through media, endorsements, and all the other plate-spinning extracurriculars making up a college coach’s day.

Mountaineer fans, you have a Rod everyone envied ’round the college football world. Stroke him. Let him know you love him, and don’t put him under undue pressure to perform. And remember that in a game of inches, Coach Rod has passed every measure of the yardstick he’s faced. Congrats, Mountaineers: yours is a Rod to behold.


Respect the Rod, Mountaineers. This guy sure does.
