    Not this year, but perhaps a year or two down the road.

    He'll burn a lot of bridges before then.
    You think the former players are saying he's headed in the right direction, or because it's what Bo instilled in them?

    You're right that Rodriguez was to blame for this fiasco and was the one in the wrong.....

    ....Except that that doesn't matter in the business of sports, in particular big money sports like college football. Even if a coach is a total scumbag, if he's got a history of winning, he'll be in demand, and hence he'll hold all the leverage. The schools that accept this reality and whore themselves (like 'Bama did with Saban and Michigan did with Rodriguez) will get the best coaches. The ones like WV who stick up for principle will simply get rolled over in the moral-less, man-eat-man world of big money sports.

    Mizzou's point, simply put, is that the top coaches won't want anything to do with West Virginia if they don't think the school is going to capitulate to their every whim and demand.

    All of you who have posted on this thread without typing the word "agent" are out of the loop. This has nothing to do with WVU or Rodriguez. It involves a person named Brown.

    So, Brown was recruiting for Michigan before he even told anybody at West Virginia he was leaving?

    Did Brown tell Terelle Pryor he was leaving for Michigan?
    Was Brown spotted in Toledo talking to U of M officials the day before he went nuts and said the writers were all lying and it's no one's business?

    Carry on...
