December 12, 20241 yr I honestly don't know if thats good or bad for WVU but definitely a risk. I'm not convinced he'll bring them back to prominence but we'll see.

We'll see what he can do with the bag game out of the picture, but he got guys into school after being caught on video beating the shit out of a girl, so he'll find some way to work the edges. Home run higher? Dipshit

December 12, 20241 yr Just now, 'stache said: How did that fool anybody? It looks exactly like Eli but slightly more derpy which I didn't think was possible. Up at State College people have a habit of “looking the other way” so I am not surprised they missed the obvious.

Zach Barnett https://footballscoop.com/news/2024-footballscoop-coach-of-the-year-finalists Several of these finalist coaches will likely get new opportunities in 2025... My takeaway from this is that our Linebackers Coach, Wide Receivers Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks Coach & Special Teams Coordinator all suck? Because apparently, everyone else is freaking awesome

Our biggest problem this past season was the defense and Rich ain't exactly a defensive guru.

I was just talking to a good friend who was a captain there, played in the early 80s, and he said he is not sure what will happen other than he will now again be able to get his field passes for whatever games he wants. So, he’s good with it. 🤣

December 14, 20241 yr College football is a much different landscape than it was in the the early 00's when dickrod was dickrodding. I have zero idea of what the WVU NIL program is like, but I'm guessing it's a losing battle in a state with that population size and a consistent presence near the bottom of per capital income rankings. Do they have a T Boone Pickens type booster that can even the playing field?

As the modern day philosopher Fat Joe says, "Yesterday's price is not today's price." I'm not sure if Mr. Joe authored that phrase with college football coaching in mind, but either way it applies, as underperforming coaches are fired and new ones are bought in on higher salaries than their predecessors, who themselves commanded higher salaries than the guys they were brought in to replace. See North Carolina, where Bill Belichick will earn twice what Mack Brown was paid. So, yesterday's price is not today's price, unless it is. New West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez signed a 5-year contract that averages $3.75 million annually and starts at $3.5 million, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Friday. That sounds like a lot of money -- and, indeed it is -- until it's placed in context. Rodriguez will coach the Mountaineers at a discount compared to the $4 million that WVU paid Neal Brown in 2024. It's still a massive raise from the $1 million and change Rodriguez made at Jacksonville State this season. He was the highest-paid Conference USA head coach by $56,000 according to the USA Today salary database, but the $3.5 million figure will make him the second-lowest paid Big 12 head coach

December 16, 20241 yr They have a stack of surveys that say they 10,000 alumni would be willing to give $100 per year for 50 years.

December 17, 20241 yr This still doesn't feel real. If you had told me 3 years ago that Belichick would be coaching in college, I would laugh at you and call you delusional because CFB is lesser to him Apparently not. It'll be interesting to see if he can succeed in college, and how he will handle recruiting damn near 365 days a year. How he'll react to elite recruits attitudes.
