if it means we can get DougityDog to make the hype videos.

make it happen

Or you may not, but there is no denying there will be a buzz around this program this off season that has been missing for a long time. There is excitement in Touchdown City!

Friday for the Introduction.

If there's a guy to keep he's rhe guy

I am a 1992 grad of Wvu. My first two years I was able to watch awesome teams. The last two not so great is a understatement. Then Rich Rod came in and we played hard and every game was winnable. The Pitt loss was awful and Rich Rod leaving was below any sense of decency. I loved that he failed at Michigan etc. However today after watching average football for 15 years and not expecting to win any big game, I am willing to eat crow and suck up my pride to let the team and school I love win again. If Rich Rod comes back we will win again and like it or not everyone on this website knows that. As such, he is the right hire.

I was in a state of shock when seeing RR as a possible coach at WVU. Many were and are! The reality now has sunk in. I've embraced Vernon's view in that I will one hundred percent support WVU's coach! Nothing new here but I thought I'd relate something that has helped my perspective.
I live in SEC country and WVU as a program is still respected as a football school. I've been needled too: "Has WVU dropped football?" "What has happened to your FB program?", I once discussed with my Virginia Tech friend who spoke of the long history of WVU's national respect that VT doesn't enjoy.
This morning a young man made a delivery to the house and asked if I was a WVU fan. My wife said "you have no idea" the young man said that as a kid his room was full of WVU paraphernalia along with a Pat White jersey. He is a born and raised Georgian. He has no knowledge of the divorce between the school and RR nor would he care! Few outside our WVU family except a few Pitt fans would. But after the slurs I think some eyebrows are being raised in Pittsburgh.. It's time to stop the family feud and lengthen our perspective.

This is a really big "get" for Morgantown. Should make it a lot easier for many of us to get back for games. I believe it's the first time there's been a direct flight to Chicago.

When rich was here I knew we would one day play for the national championship. After that devastating loss, I thought that was bad but he will get it done eventually. Then he left. That was soul crushing and I’ve held a grudge ever since.

This coaching search hasn’t gone at all like I hoped and it’s put a spotlight on just where WVU stands in the football world. Not enough money, a lesser conference, etc.

I’ll say this. Rich wants to be here. That’s more that can be said from all the other names brought up. We all want to win. The man knows how to coach and wants to be here. Holding a grudge hurts no one but me.

Welcome home Rich. Get it done.

Tired if them

Marshall QB Braylon Braxton. Perfect fit.

I obviously am not for this hire but, has their been any discussion on the amount of NIL funding coming in with this hire of Rich?

Who is going to be immediately evaluating portal talent with Rich since it is doubtful he will have a staff in place. Fabinach? Or someone new?

can RR bbq ribs and brisket?

Maybe @Vernon @Keenan Cummings or even @rochester24 could weigh in, but I wonder how well his coaching style would work now with NIL and the portal. I know he's doing well at JSU and it's always seemed that he does his best with guys who have a chip on their shoulder. Tough, hard-working, under-recruited kids who have a point to prove. One of Rod's biggest strengths is his ability to identify and develop talent, but will kids today stick around long enough to see that process through? Or will they hit the portal when they feel their coaches are dogging them too hard? Will we have enough NIL funding to hang onto them once they've developed?

Does that offense work in the Big12 against better coaches and athletes?
I know it has in the past but it will be interesting to see how it adapts

In Morgantown today for a dr appt. Do you have to have press credentials to attend? @ Any extra passes?

Obviously not true but that’d be some sh*t, wouldn’t it? 😂

It’s the right time and the right move. Make it happen WVU!
