Rodriguez leaving West Virginia to coach Michigan

    True, guy.
    And until then, he'll be "sought after" in every coaching search and he'll play his bogus Jersey Guy card.

    Right. Instead, get ready for QB draw on every 3rd and 9 and plenty of bubble screen. The guy refuses to throw down field because he invented offense. Hope Michigan has fun with him.

    Schaeffer was the latest black QB to get dumped on at Ole Miss
    Michael Spurlock was just before him, and couldn't win enough games or complete enough passes or convert enough first downs.

    Saw where Spurlock actually ran back a kick for a 90-yard TD today in Tampa. He's an athlete for sure, and would have been hard-pressed to excel as an SEC quarterback the way Jason Campbell or Eli Manning did.
    Schaeffer might can catch on with some team in some league as an "athlete"

    Now, back to the original topic.
    I believe Rodriguez learned lots under his mentor, who beat Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl to cap his WVa coaching career.
    Rodriguez, I think, will be have success at Ann Arbor.

    Schaeffer made his own bed by smoking too much pot and refusing to go to class or be anywhere on time at Tennessee. He could have been the guy, not Ainge, but he blew it. It's not surprising, though, he went to three high schools and three colleges.

    Pryor looking at Michigan makes sense. He loves Cutcliffe and Rodriguez, and he's sure not going to Tennessee now (or Duke ever).

    Will Michigan play a 3-3-5 on D?

    Surely Rodriguez will be able to recruit more D-lineman at Michigan...

    If RR doesn't install a pro offense with Mallet at QB, he should be fired. Mallet has first round potential.

    Or until Rich gets a better offer.
    His word means nothing.

    Bowden's an alum, so it's obvious why it's a great return for him to get back into coaching there. Is it West Virginia's best choice? If he hasn't coached since '98, hasn't the profession changed a lot since then? He's won at a high level, yes, but just seems far removed from those times.
