Come on home...

[xWVU2010x]

The folks in this thread who say Rich Rod cant coach are very low information football fans.....

Watch the whole thing. Rich Rod's style of coach is making a comeback, and tbh WVU would be stupid not to jump on the chance to get a real coach in here....

60+ power conference jobs and yet none of them want RR. But somehow you are right and everyone else is wrong? There is currently 13 G5 programs that have 1 loss or 0 losses, even more in FCS, are all of these coaches geniuses also? How about Brown with his run of 3 straight 10 win seasons at Troy? Must also be a genius right? He’s also 4-1 in a real conference by the way this year…

Best case for RR is he’s Frank Solich 2.0, no one wants him, he doesn’t want them either. He can finish his career as a legend to the 100 or so people that follow Jacksonville State football.

Come on home Rich...WVU2010 wants you now!

And yet...you, in your child aged logic, need him to come home too.

Typical, wouldn’t be surprised if you Root and Punisheer are all the same clown person.

What will your response be when Rodriguez gets a HC position in one of the power conferences? Laugh now. We shall see.

Then he gets his big shot to prove your theory that his offense is still ahead of the curve despite a huge amount of data from his last two stints that says it’s not.

It's OK to have hurt feelings but it's been a long time since rich rod left wvu. Once he's back you'll feel much better. Those kind of emotions can linger. It's all good. We got your back. This message board is like a support group...

#MakeWVUGreatAgain

College football is moving away from these woke player-led fantasy coaches and back to real men coaches like rich rod. We should get on board early.

 

[WVUFanForever]

Get on board early with a coach that was already here 20 years ago and has flamed out everywhere he has went since....

LMAO...OMG I cant stop laughing.

You are allowed to have your head in the sand. It's a free country. Rich Rod loves you.

 

[WVUBRU]

I'm all for Dickrod get another HC job. Just not welcomed at WVU.

I never said his offense was head of the curve. You should try paying attention

 

[deedoubleyou]

Pffft... He's very welcome at WVU. This is his home state and his school. Most people are over it, the ones who aren't will get over it once he's back in charge. It will be all good. This job has Rich Rods name all over it.

 

[Rootmaster]

Wvu2010 is begging you! Rich...come on home and show pussyboys what a real coach can do!!!

 

[xWVU2010x]

I never said his offense was head of the curve. You should try paying attention

Then why do you want him? His offense is what made him successful 20 years ago until it got figured out.

 

[WVUALLEN]

What will your response be when Rodriguez gets a HC position in one of the power conferences? Laugh now. We shall see.

What will your response be if and when he never gets that call?

Is the following going to call...
Alabama (Saban has to retire sometime)
Clemson (money people are not happy with Dabo not going NIL)
Florida
UNC
Stanford (LOL)
Michigan State (might be desperate enough)
Pitt
VPI
SMU
Baylor
Houston

Even Marshall would not make the mistake of calling his washed up ***.

 

[deedoubleyou]

I know exactly who is going to call. WVU, rich rod's school and lifelong home, and he's going to accept the offer and come back to lead wvu to greater heights. The haters will learn what is really is to be a true West Virginian and a true, die hard wvu fan against their will I guess lol. It will be epic....

Dude was available the last time around

And we had a douchebag AD who hired a weenie instead, and now we are fighting just to be respected at all, because in 4 years the program has sunken so far you'd have to go the 70s to find a worse 4 year stretch. So now fans are acting like being 4-1 is something special, instead of something normal like it used to be. LLLame.

But it's OK Richard Rodriguez is gonna fix it....

 

[Rootmaster]

Come on home Rich!!!

The question remains, then why has no one else at our level of football hired him? Shoot why hasn’t Marshall hired him?

I agree that 4-1 isn’t something worth celebrating, but you’re in here creaming yourself everytime RR scrapes by some tomato can in CUSA, it’s a bit hypocritical.

Easy answer. Timing. In a woke world, they had to let the Arizona drama settle. Big programs will always let the dust settle. But thet notice what hes doing now. Why didn't Marshall hire him lol?? You know very little. Rich Rod loathes Marshall and wouldn't coach there for anything. Being forced to play them at all was one of the big factors in him leaving WVU. Thank Manchin for that one.

Your post makes me want creamer in my coffee lol.

One problem with your thought process is you keep insisting he’s playing a bunch of nobody’s and sometimes just squeezing out wins, while ignoring that Jacksonville State is considered a nobody. You’re acting like Rod is leading a P5 school against Sam Houston. I’m sure this will still go over your head, but it has to do with quality of recruits at that level versus a P5 level. My point is, he’s battling for lower level recruits with Sam Houston and others and winning. Your argument would make more sense if you were telling us Jacksonville State was struggling with Fairmont State.

Neither of us knows the answer. You guys keep twisting things and adding your own prediction to counter arguments or statements I’m not even making. My entire point is/was Rodriguez is a good coach. And his time at WVU is considered one of the greatest stretches in WVU football history. Now you can ignore this obvious fact or choose to acknowledge it. It is my opinion that if both WVU and Rodriguez want to move on from the past and try it again, I feel that would be worth a consideration. That is my only point I have made. Take it for what it’s worth. If you disagree, I respect that.

He was an OC at an SEC school during the time Brown was hired, so he definitely wasn’t considered toxic. Only in your mind would RR voluntarily turn down Marshall so he can go two rungs below them to FCS to find a head coaching gig.


It’s also laughable that your thought process is WVU is afraid of woke backlash when they just stepped out of line with the rest of academia and dumped a ton of majors and faculty. They also employed Huggins for the past 15 or so years and retained him through the radio incident, nothing screams woke like him lol.

CUSA is basically FCS. The last 3 champs were either FCS recently or in the case of UAB didn’t even exist not long ago. It’s a joke by G5 standards. If you have a coach that can attract the “last chance U” types of players, which I’m sure a 60 year old very experienced coach can do, then you will win games. That doesn’t work when you are going against schools that all care about winning with several that have equal or greater resources.

Ok, you just agreed with my point. Therefore, he’s winning against the same level of competition. Hence, He’s still a good HC coach

No, you’re agreeing with my point that this dude could be winning at flag football and you would think it’s impressive.

Another reminder, Neal Brown has 3 straight 10 win seasons at Troy and beat LSU.

No your point would only make sense if Rod hadn’t ever won at a P5 school or forgot how to coach. He’s beating the teams at his level of competition. You can’t erase history and you can’t ignore that he’s currently winning.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Rich rodriguez could drunk text a better offensive game plan than Neal could conjure up in a lifetime of reading coaching for dummies books. Now available on Kindle of course.

Im ignoring nothing, I acknowledge what his record is at JSU, it’s you who seems to think that success at any level means you will be successful anywhere. That’s why I continuously point out that Neal Brown had 3 straight 10 win seasons at Troy and beat LSU.

As for his P5 success, it is also you who cannot understand that in the world of “what have you done for me lately” RR has delivered mostly bad or incomplete results in the past 16 years since being the WVU head coach. I would be more inclined to give RR a shot if he had a Hugh Freeze type of track record, where he hadn’t taken a hiatus from coaching, and his last fairly recent season in P5 was successful, but he’s not. He’s down in the worst conference in the country playing in front of minor league baseball sized crowds following 4 of 5 years doing God knows what. He’s washed.

No your Neal Brown example does not work because he has not yet demonstrated he can win at the P5 level. Rodriguez has won at every level he’s coached.

Don Nehlen had the greatest stretch. You can ignore Nehlen and the obvious facts of title games played in. No guarantees Rod would have lighting strike twice with another backfield that he had with White and the gang. You guys keep twisting things and adding your own history of success that was there for 3 years not all 7. Fraud should thank the good Lord he's not in prison for child molesting the cheerleaders.

Screwed over WVU
He lost at Michigan
Failed at Arizona
Failed as OC at Ole Miss

He's a small time coach and would be losing in Big 12. Face facts he's past his prime.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Root troll thread gaining on the magic 8 number.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Got screwed over by Joe Manchin.

Was about to break out big at michigan

Turned Arizona into a 10 win team from oblivion. No one else could've done that.

Its funny how hurt feelings distort peoples reality lol. The only folks who can't see how good of a coach rich rod is are the ones who were hurt the most when he left and never got over it.

I think you’re right. The ones who are still crying and trying to dismiss his accomplishments at WVU were probably his biggest fans who are still hurt.

No your Neal Brown example does not work because he has not yet demonstrated he can win at the P5 level. Rodriguez has won at every level he’s coached.

Again, my point from way back in the thread, you might as well hire countless other has beens that have “won at every level”, if you are just going to never impose an expiration date for when past accomplishments are relevant for your new job. You get to P5 usually by winning at lesser levels or by being a high level coordinator, you stay at P5 by continuing to win at that level which RR stopped doing a long time ago.
