RichRod like they do! All that is going to accomplish is more begging for forgiveness and a bigger bag of money when WVU officals have to crawl all the way out to Tucson asking him return to Morgantown to clean up the HOGO mess! RichRod is a big time coach at a big time program...he deserves your respect!
I don't think it's wise for the main board to rip into
- Thread starter Tonycried
- Start date
I just hope they don't send White Taileer as the offical emissary to RichRod! That's a long crawl on your belly through arid, rattlesnake infested, rough ass terrain while all the time dragging $5,000,000 in cash as a signing bonus! You boys do that ....maybe RichRod and Rita will forgive!
If I go, I'll be doing a Calvin impression on his head ... maybe he's into that, who knows.
Can he? He ran Michigan into the ground.
He's not a good coach, he can't adapt to the players he has. If he has players that are exceptional within his system, he can do good things, but he has to have exactly the right players.
In the early years we had a lot of upsets. If we were close at halftime we could breathe easy knowing that they could adjust at halftime and do well the second half. As that continued, he lost more and more assistants to head coaching jobs elsewhere and he became less and less able to adapt at halftime.
The real star of that coaching staff was Mike Barwis.
He brought in Pat White and Steve Slaton...caused a lot of heartburn for defensive coaches! But that insult just cost you boys another cool million for the signing bonus!
Please, he would come back at the drop of a hat. Interesting to note that he and Dana are almost identical in stats for their first four years, and it could be argued that Dana has had to do this against much better competition.
(replacing Bill Stewart, last season 9-4) Dana 28-23 (1-2 in bowls, 1 losing season) after 4 seasons (11, 12, 13, 14) -- vs ranked teams 6-10, 1 co-champ of BE, 26 wks ranked
(replacing Don Nehlen last season 7-5) Rich 28-21 (0-3 in bowls, 1 losing season) after 4 seasons (01, 02, 03, 04) -- vs ranked teams 5-10, 2 co-champs of BE, 21 wks ranked
I don't think we'll be needing RR back.
You just better hope that Holgorsen does well. Doc is barely making more than our defensive coordinator. He would be out of Huntington faster than the ink could dry on the contract.
Well crawling to Huntington is better much better than crawling to Tuscon, I'll grant you that but maybe if Rich and Rita can't forgive the shabby treatment they received in Morgantown, Doc will consider the WVU head coaching position if you boys offer enough money and ask on your knees!
If we want to get technical about it, no he didn't. Bill Stewart was the one recruiting Pat White. Steve Slaton was committed to MD until Friedgen told him he didn't need him afterall, so he fell into our laps. Owen Schmitt also fell into our laps, RRod didn't find him, he found us and we gave him a chance. I'm not sure who recruited Reynaud.
RRod needed 5 NFL players on offense (our center got drafted too) to be successful, 3 of whom he didn't recruit.
As a side note: It was said that after every game he played at WVU that Owen Schmitt went to every one of the coaches and thanked them for giving him a chance. Good guy. I met him at BWs once, nicest guy you'll ever meet.
Owen can lead block for me anytime! But please stop this attack on Rich and Rita...it will only cost you more money and more time on your knees begging forgiveness.
Tucson is a very nice place. Little Detroit is a cesspool. Doc would be on his knees for barely over six figures...
I jus thope you boys haven't burned all your bridges to Rich and Rita....but I guess enough money will build a new bridge! We know how you boys love to overpay!
Is it overpaying when you have a net positive at the end of the year? As opposed to say ... needing $7M from the good taxpayers of the state to balance the budget.
$7,000,000 won't begin to cut it as a signing bonus for Rich and Rita to return!
I was gonna say Chik-fil-A, but after hiring on former Marshall coach, it's probably ruined for all the rest.
I hated him before he left and was calling for his head years before he left. He's a one horse show and it's a gimmick show at that. Thank God we have Holgs!
Probably. If I was a a shit hole school in a shit hole city, I would take a pay cut to get out...
We know the Cousins love to overpay but not so sure they'll enjoy the crawl through the American Southwest...very uninviting environment! Lots of rattlesnakes ...not much shade or water!
I wouldn't ask that poor excuse for a coach to even stoop as low as coaching Marshla.
What is a big time a??, and after what he did to wvu I don't see us going after him.
Doc likes a challenge but cleaning up after HOGO.....that's more than just a challenge!
Do you have any supporting evidence?
I look at your schedule and come to the opposite conclusion.
