Sane people: Rich Rod’s record (0.588 win pct) when you include his years of JV football coaching looks an awful lot like Neal Brown’s (also 0.588 win pct) record, who we can all agree is not good enough, it’s probably not a good idea.
Rod fanboys: talks about the 2002-03 Big East for the umpteenth time despite repeatedly being asked to talk about what he is going to bring to the table in 2023, then finally leans on 1 season of FCS and one third of a season of G5 data (despite improperly labeling the FCS season as CUSA… it’s okay I know you have no idea what the 2023 version of Rich Rodriguez the football coach is actually like, what system he runs, where his pipeline of players comes from, or if he even has an appetite to coach a major program again)
There are countless coaches who have a similar recent body of work in FCS/G5 that atleast have the unknown variable of how they would perform at a major conference school.
