Oh, since it’s the bowl lull, and nothing’s happening, we suppose we’ll scrape together a show of some sort—
HOLY FUCKING SHIT RICH RODRIGUEZ TO MICHIGAN–
Okay, we’ll have Tom Dienhart on and talk about the biggest coaching change of the year. Tune in by clicking here or just hit play on the sidebar. 7:00 p.m. EST with yours truly and Peter Bean.
Unlike Bobby Petrino, I’m handing in my letter personally.
Talk to you tonight.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

There are no sour grapes here. I have wanted him out since year 3. He truly is an awful coach that beats only very bad teams (and unfortunately for us, sometimes not those). He will be exposed at Michigan unless he gets another Pat White type of guy, one who is just so much more talented than the opponents. If he doesn’t, they can only hope to go 9-3 yearly. I mean, look at WVU’s big plays over the last 2-3 seasons. Virtually all of them come from broken pass plays and huge cutback runs by the back. The players’ decisions make WVU work, not RR.
So yep, pretty much like Carr never left.

Wtf, “RR” is becoming as viral as “A2″. Get over yourself, michiganfan. Rod-ree-geeze is the best thing to happen to that dusty old pair of pantaloons since… shitl, the Forward Pass. And it’s not like ya’ll did THAT very well anyway.
Enjoy the goodness. It could be much, much worse.

Seeing these guys like RR and Petrino selling their souls & loyalty every five minutes is starting to disillusion me about college football in general. They’re are very few Paternos and Bowdens out there any more. Just hired guns with minimial relation to the school they’re at who switch in a heatbeat if they can squeeze another million out of someone.

I disagree….there should be MORE gin and tonics, especially before posting.
Now, after four shooters of bathtub moonshine, I’m going to say…Cowher to WVU, it’s a done deal. He was spotted – midair – flying to Morgantown, while his cyborg double was doing the NFL show.

Reasonable_Bama_Fan says:
#56, coaches act like that because their schools have zero loyalty to them. Less than zero, actually, as they might have a fireyourname.com site up before you even sign a contract. So naturally they’re in it for themselves. The whole evil root of this tree is, of course, the big money.

There are some rather interesting rumors coming from the south linking Jimbo Fisher and WVU.
Also, Terry Bowden is actually a decent football coach, by far the best of the baby Bowdens.

Any offense will be better than Mike DeBord’s “2 yards and a cloud of dust, 45 times a game” abortion. Michigan has had its share of quick playmakers recently (Manningham, Breaston to name a few) who were effective when they got the ball in the open field; there just weren’t enough touches available. This should solve all that.
After losing to Ohio State 4 years in a row, it can’t get much worse, so the other criticisms of Rod don’t concern me much…yet.

Stephen Colboar says:
So is ESPN going to go all Petrino-Mercenary on Rich Rodriguez??
hmm. They both left their teams with games remaining.
Petrino took a huge cut in pay.
Rodriguez is getting a raise.
Petrino coaches grown men.
Rodriguez coaches 18-22-year-olds that he personally recruited to play amidst burning couches.
Yeah, there’s no way a fair and balanced journalistic entity like ESPN will let this fly. That Arthur Blank/Home Depot mouthpiece crap was just a big fat honky piece of dog shit.
Wait a minute…
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=3157619
Earthquakes have the Richter scale. Coaching moves have the newly developed, very scientific Petrino-Saban scale. Rodriguez’s decision to leave barely caused the needle to move. This move is justifiable, even if Rodriguez, 44, had to leave home to make it.
WHAT?

I consider Rodriguez on the same level as Petrino. He just signed another gd contract last year saying he would stay. I wish the media would villify these guys the same way that they did Petrino.

Biggus Rickus says:
There is no loyalty in sports everyone. Coaches are fired all the time for underperformance before their contracts expire and sometimes the year after a contract extension. Players are bound somewhat because because of transfer rules, but they still jump to other schools if they think it’s a better opportunity. We fans are the ficklest assholes of all. If Rodriguez was averaging seven or eight wins a year WVU would have sent his ass to the curb with the fans applauding. So I say fuck all this loyalty talk. Almost nobody’s loyal in this business.

Colboar,
The way ESPN blows the NFL, 2 shows every day during the season and in the offseason, pregame and postgame shows out the ass, especially on Sundays when they don’t show one blessed game, you would think that the NFL has ESPN on some sort of contract that NFL can opt out of within a 24 hour period.
Honestly, it is the NFL network that has ESPN scared out of their minds. If the NFL can figure out a way to get on the cable carriers, maybe eat some of the cost and increase commercials, charge more, whatever, then ESPN’s NFL days will be numbered.
It is only a matter of time, in my opinion, before the NFL networks starts showing the Draft, and just hires the leatherman away from the WWL.

The guy made Bama look like your every day run of the mill drunk Auburn KD; used and abused the poor gal and then went back home to sweetie pie the next day. A year later he leaves said stable sweetie pie for a more experienced lass who resembles Helen Miren.
He’s being exonerated from all of this how exactly? Petrino will be the coach of Michigan in 09 when Rodriguez leaves for Nebraska after Pellini bolts back to LSU after Miles takes the Bama job when Saban goes to the Patriots just after Auburn lands Bellichek to replace Tubbs who took over in San Diego.

Boston Frog says:
There is no loyalty in any business now, and to a great extent there never has been. Coaching is no different.
For every Bowden or Paterno, there are 100 other coaches bouncing from school to school, getting fired or moving up the ladder financially and in terms of prestige. Even some of the “legends” of coaching made lots of moves before settling down–Bear Bryant went from Kentucky to A&M to Alabama. Darrell Royal was at Washington(!) and somewhere else before that (can’t remember where) before ending up at Texas. There are lots of other examples of legendary coaches moving over the years.
The big difference now is that the money is much bigger than ever before (even adjusting for inflation and the like, I’d say) and that the ravenous 24-hour sports media needs something to talk about 24 hours a day and feeds on stories like the Petrino, Saban and now Rodriguez sagas. In the old days, maybe a newspaper columnist would write a nasty screed or some fans would hold up angry signs. Now, every sports-radio host and TV talking head in the country–not to mention every blogger, pundit and Internet hack–has his say.

Will (the other one) says:
Diff between Rich Rod and Pet Rhino is pretty simple: one told his players, in person no less, he was leaving.
The other hid a note in their lockers a day after saying he was their coach.
It sucks for WVA, but this is hardly a Saban or Petrino-like move. Not even a Tubervillian move.

The Governor of West Virginia is in on the whining, too: “I have known Rich for most of his life, from a boy whose only wish was to play football at WVU to a young man whose only wish was to coach at WVU, Something is wrong with the profession of college coaching today when a leader’s word is no longer his bond.”
Are you KIDDING ME? Doesn’t the governor of the damned state have anything better to do than worry about the state school’s football team? And bad-mouthing a guy who he’s known since he was a boy? Unbelievable.

RE: Kelly Williams
Uh, I really doubt that a few comments about the state’s flagship football program took up the governor’s entire day. Is he supposed to refuse to answer or comment about anything outside the realm of politics?
