If they were going to fire him, it would have been done after the last game of the season. They would have been able to vet the better candidates available. Sexual Harassment claims are the kiss of death. They almost always lead to the termination of people holding jobs in the public spotlight. It's funny that you would quote someone you claim to be a fraud. I guess that's how it works when it advances your agenda. The true reason you hate Rich is he hurt your pride. Everyone knows this to be the case stop denying it you're not fooling anyone.
Come on home...

No its Rich Rod. Before Rich came people hoped we would go to a bowl game now it's an expectation. Rich had this team in the national conversation for longer than any wvu coach did previously. If Bill Stewart would have succeeded Don Nehlen and had 3 straight 9-win seasons you're telling me that would have led to his dismissal. Well, it did after Rich. The scrutiny that Holgorsen experienced, and that Brown is currently experiencing came from Rich's success. Like it or not Rich changed Wvu football in a way that no other coach did previously. The people stating that Brown should have to win 10 games in year 5 to keep his job got that expectation from Rich. I can't remember any other coach that won double digits in year 5.
Rich is a scumbag nobody disputes that, but he was winning. If a coach comes along and starts having success, He should not have to demand concessions from a rational AD. A Rational AD should give it to him in the first place. That wasn't the case when Rich was here. Ed Pastilong and Mike Garrison were small time pikers who weren't ready for the big time. When your biggest booster's side with Rich over his boss that should tell you something. When Luck succeeded Pastilong he made some of the changes that Rich wanted for years. He did this to pull the wvu athletic department out of the dark ages that Pastilong kept it in. Luck started putting the money back into the programs not into the pockets of his cronies. Luck knew it takes investment to have a chance to compete at the highest levels not Hot fudge sundaes and apple pie.
Good lord lol. Jacksonville State is in CUSA. Rod is already winning in JSU’s first year stepping up to CUSA.
That’s exactly right. I guarantee you had Stewart succeeded Nehlen, he would’ve been cheered and an extension signed for going 9-3 for 3 straight seasons. People would’ve thought a lot differently because we weren’t accustomed to anything better than that on a consistent basis. Sure Nehlen had the 2 eleven win seasons, but he would fill the gap years with 6-8 wins. Rodriguez had us no less than 8 and up to 11 wins his last 3 years in a row. Whether he’s a jerk or not, nobody can ignore his accomplishments. The guy can coach and piss people off just as well.
Another comparison is looking at 1996 as opposed to 2006. In 1996 Wvu started the season 7-0 and then the blocked kick happened to send the season south. We later ended up getting the Gator Bowl which is the 2nd best we could have done, and everyone was excited. In 2006 we get upset by USF at home which ended our chances at another bcs bowl bid. People treated the Gator Bowl as a major disappointment. Shows you how expectations changed.
Same with 1998. WVU started the season ranked top 5 and opened with #1 Ohio State and got beat badly. Then went on to finish 8-4 and lost the bowl game. I don’t remember much anger. Had that happened today, with that hype and talent, Nehlen would be on the hot seat. You’re right, expectations certainly changed.
I'm sorry he hurt your feelings so bad. The only way to get over the butthurt is to just embrace the inevitable. It's Rich Rod
Championships.....
Holgorsen is another example. He wins 10 games in season 1 and doesn't repeat it until 5 seasons later. If Rich hadn't had the success, he had Holgorsen would have been given a much better contract extension then what he got. He might even still be here. People would not have been talking about 2018 as a make or break season.
He would never do that again. If he comes back it's for good. We have brand new 55 million dollar facilities waiting for a real coach to recruit with. Brown is squandering it. The only reason his recruiting has looked good is because our facilities are top notch state of the art. We need to capitalize on that fast and Neal isn't the coach to do it. We need a coach who is ultra competitive and good. We handed the keys to a Ferrari to a guy who should be driving a Yugo. This ain't Mr Roger's this is WVU football...
LMAO...hurt my feelings...I'm sorry he hurt your feelings so bad. The only way to get over the butthurt is to just embrace the inevitable. It's Rich Rod
Championships.....
Your trolling is lame...
List the ones he one again at Michigan, Zona or his D3 job at Jax State....I will wait.
Yet you keep coming back for more and more and more. If Rich Rod wasnt already living in your head, there would be no need to even respond to this thread. When RR left for Michigan, it broke your heart and you're not over it. Prove me wrong....
LMAO....
Amazing everything you just typed was wrong......congrats.
Didn't think you could list all those championships Dick Rod won at Michigan, Zone or Jax State.
Prove me wrong....LMAO
I never said Rich won any championships. I just said the word championships because its what we will have something to look forward to with RR as coach. You took it that way because this topic has you so worked up, because RR lives in your heart and mind still. You got yer heart broked. The only way to fix it is to embrace the Rod.
Rich did not take over a program that in the previous 20 years only went to 4 bowl games. The 60s and 70s. Three to the Peach and once to the Liberty. Did Rich go undefeated in the regular season and play for a share and outright National Championship? I didn’t think so. It’s not like he didn’t inherit talent from Nehlen either, but the only fault I ever had with RichRod was that he was a square peg into a round hole coach. Brad Lewis played hurt the entire year, but once healthy, he torched Ole Miss and Nehlen called off the dogs at halftime. It could have been worse than WVU over Clemson in the Orange Bowl. He forced a good drop back QB into a system he couldn’t flourish in. Once he got Marshall healthy and Pat White his system worked. Otherwise he would not adjust to match the talent he had. Rich’s only fault in my book.
But back to my point. If not for Nehlen, WVU would be no better than UConn.
Brown can't coach but he is winning this year nobody can dispute that. Let me know when either beats a team above .500. Hell let me know when Rod beats somebody period while at JSU.
Don’t worry, the knee pad crew will be happy to inform you about Rich’s next win over Satellite Campus State on whatever random weekday they played.
It’s not, the guy is just a washed up coach in a minor league, the cognitive dissonance by you to think it’s something worth freaking out about is truly amazing.
If we’re actually being serious about looking at coaches, we would be best served hiring the Marshall coach. He is showing he can sustain a winning record in a semi-serious league, 2-1 against P5 with a victory over Notre Dame in South Bend, knows the challenges of our geography, has a former QB of ours as his OC. He will actually be scooped up by a major conference team shortly if Marshall doesn’t crap the bed down the stretch.

Lmao! Who’s freaking out besides yourself? I know you desperately wish to change historical records to prove your point, but that is not possible.
Ironically, all those opponents could say the same thing about playing Jacksonville State. It’s called conference peers. You’re acting as if he’s running a P5 school in that schedule. Fact is, he’s winning against his conference. He’s 14-3 there. I know it angers you, but he’s still winning. Try forgiveness
You’re in here jerking it over his JSU record, like who the eff cares? If everyone who had a team win at those levels succeeded at the next level, no one would ever lose.
RR last 3 years as a head coach at an equivalent conference to today’s Big XII:
7-6 (3-6)
3-9 (1-8)
7-6 (5-4)
Then obviously fired by a school that retained a winning basketball coach through an FBI investigation. Washed.
It’s like being impressed the former 2x CEO of two failed Fortune 500 companies went on to become a successful owner of a bagel shop and thinking he should get a shot at another Fortune 500 company to ruin.

Man, he really hurt you. I’m sorry man. It’s time to move forward and forgive and forget
Translation: I don’t have relevant points so I’ll just respond like the child I am.
Lmao!! Who’s actually acting like the child here? Pouting because you don’t like Rodriguez. Like I said, if you don’t like the man, that’s enough reason to not want him back. I get that. But you’re attempting to lie and act like his accomplishments did not happen. And what did happen, you want to act like it’s only because of Pat White. That’s laughable and anyone with any sense can see that.
Lol what is his record after Pat White? We just go round and around with you running into the same traps over and over again trying to defend an absolutely abysmal coaching resume since 2007.
Cool, so your hill to die on is the JSU record. Glad we have finally settled that the guy is a **** P5 head coach, but he can do well against entry level head coaches in a backwater conference.
I see that one lame poster is jealous of rootmaster's success in delivering a nine page thread. Hopefully he won't beg and plead to get this thread locked, just as the kid did to my 60 page masterpiece of a few years back, all of which was in dedication to Townes and his banned 25 alters.
No, it’s not settled because you’re wrong lmao! I know man, let your emotions out. You need this. Let it stream
LMAO....your boy bedpan got that locked because he mouthed off to a mod...but you believe what you want....now go work on your hb like ratio...LMAO....OMG you are such a tard.
When will your obsession with me end?
