I will agree with this. His persona was something of question but the body of work he did here can’t be questioned. Just his ethics..
Saying Rich Rod failed after WVU is just moronic

Comment likes are for assclowns....no one cares about them but people like you.
Do they make you feel better in real life?
I'm not sure about joining this conversation, but there is No Way,
No How PricRod is a hero to WV.
If he would have returned to WVU after the embarrassing Pitt debacle, he'd probably be on his way to College Football HOF.
As for when PricRod left WVU
- there is no way he had better than "moderate success" at Arizona
once he took his Hair plugs to Michigan.

You use assclowns a lot. Seems like an obsession with male rear ends. At least you are comfortable with that lol.

You didnt answer the question....so getting a like from assclown, bitchgregor or turdboy makes you feel better in real life?
Glad to see you've expanded your vocabulary by adding turd and bitch to your usage library.

I suspect you have a development issue lol.

He sucked at Michigan and got deservingly canned. Just a misfire hire in every way. I do agree his time at Arizona was somewhat impressive.
7:07pm..... shouldn’t you be in bed?
He would have also had to play the Big XII schedule a couple years down the road. Would have probably been similar to Dana, but possibly giving up more points. Defense was even optional when he was at Michigan.
Rod would have had white for another year or two and Alston for one. Probably at least 10 wins. Didn’t steward win 9 the following year?4
If memory serves me, I think Stewart went 9-4 every year, which Luck said wasn't good enough, so he hired Dana.
Yes this is all true.
But Chicken Sht, PricRod would have "faced the music" after the Pittful Pittsburgh loss, his future would have been better then what happened at Michigan, etc.
I'm surprised that the modicum of improvement Rich Rod brought to Michigan's football record while it was under the cloud of several NCAA violations is receiving so little attention. Rich Rod being fired at Michigan was about much more than his won-loss record. Pete Bigelow of the Ann Arbor News explains it quite well and without rubbing it in. LINK
One thing is clear. When it comes to honesty, integrity, and class Rich Rod doesn't hold a candle to Coach Brown.
Bottom line, is PricRod was never as great that he personally thought he was, at every stop...
As for WVU fans, they bought his Schick - as he desiccated HOF Coach Don Nehlen legacy.

He dried out Coach Nehlen's legacy?Impressive feat and I'm stumped as to how that is even physically possible.
Um, PricRod dropped (gutted)
most of Nehlen's roster - while pretending to have "created" Football at West Virginia.
WVU fan base bought it
"hook, line, & sinker".
PricRod
Ps...how did Bill Stewart fit into this?
Bill Stewart was PricRod's #1 recruiter when a recruiting coordinator was basically, in name only.
Bill Stewart was charged with resupplying this decimated roster while keeping PricRod's ego in check.

I am no fan of Rich Rod, especially with how he left the fan base high and dry, but this is revisionist history. Nehlen was a great coach, but after 20 years and an offensive system that was pretty close to RB left, RB right, RB middle, and punt with the occasional RB middle by way of draw play ... the guy needed to move on in 2000. Rich Rod did "gut" the roster, but not maliciously. Rather he wanted to bring in the players that fit his system better. I lack better words, so to quote the movie Moneyball "If we try to play like the Yankees in here, we will lose to the Yankees out there!" That was Rod's mentality when trying to compete in the Big East with Miami. Note the Miami team when RR entered the league had a roster with Andre Johnson, Kellen Winslow, Jeremy Shockey, Willis McGhee, Frank Gore, Vince Wilfork, Jonathan Vilma, and Sean Taylor. Not only NFL players, but pretty damn good ones and not just some role players like some of the others on that same roster. So RR came to WVU and brought a whole new outlook and system which is exactly what WVU needed at the time to try for a Big East championship. RR was a good coach for his time and really brought a system that worked for WVU. Now that was 20 years ago and, like Nehlen, that plan/coaching approach is not likely to get it done anymore just as it failed in Arizona and Mississippi. But that does not distract that he was a good coach despite all his other deficiencies.
Don Nehlen is in the
College Football HOF.
PricRod is at Louisiana Monroe,
or something.
Kinda summarized it all.

Schlabach: Contentious divorce festers in West Virginia
Rich Rodriguez's divorce from his alma mater has opened many wounds in West Virginia. Both sides have suffered irreparable damage in the proceedings.
Hs "increased control" included a pay-for-access option for boosters. The book issue is clearly there.

The other item clearly there is the broadcast rights where not being fully brokered for added income for WVU . The " good ole boy " network was solidly in place adversely affecting WVU 's bottom line.
Great Article. Great Summary article.
PricRod with his podcast is always on a Public Relations Tour, again - while constantly justifying his actions at every stop/school.
It would be remote to think
that PricRod would ever be a Power 5 head coach again, but stranger things have happened.
As for the reason the title for this Posting, PricRod has been an Epic Failure failure and Millionaire Spoiled Brat.

Rich Rod ...WVU'S best coach ever. Period. Only the immature and uninformed children would think otherwise.
EGADS! I AGREE WITH ROOTMASTER AGAIN. JUST A REMINDER THAT I GO BY FACTS AND TRUTH, RATHER THAN WHO POSTS THEM.
Not true. He WAS a good coach and did well at WVU during his time. Maybe he could've been had he stayed. However, Nehlen at least played in a MNC caliber game twice. RR never got into the game required to maybe win one despite having an easier path.
Rich Rod
blew his Whad, poem
Believe what you-ALL wish,
but a College Football Hall of Fame, PricRod he Is NOT AND never will be.
Ps...respectfully
usually feeling expressed are from
WV Fans that never lived during the Major Harris years or era.

Best coach at WVU period. Nehlen a solid two. Brown hasnt cracked top five at WVU...although he is turning into quite the social justice warrior.
