Rodriguez’s track record is of a good, not great coach. Pat White made him look better than he actually was

I think West Virginia will start the season 8-0 - five very winnable games coming up. Rich has the boys cooking.* - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 09:14:47 AM

- To state the obvious, B12 is a much better conference for him to compete in than B10*** - By Craig September 20, 2026 at 09:16:18 AM
  - We discussed his recruiting class on here a bit. 48 signees, including 13 JuCo kids. Then on top of that he added 35(!) transfers - By brick September 20, 2026 at 09:50:39 AM
    - What I found interesting was that this go round he has none of the old names on his staff. He has a young DC who has been with him and in limited watching - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 09:53:26 AM
      - True. His OL coach is Rick Trickett, who started coaching OL @ WVU before Don Nehlen was hired - By brick September 20, 2026 at 10:16:07 AM
  - He’s done a good job EVERYWHERE but Michigan. Fascinating how badly he bombed here.* - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 09:21:29 AM
    - One decent year at AZ and overall mid there* - By mtb September 20, 2026 at 12:53:15 PM
    - This illustrates that a guy who may be great for one situation can be a disaster in another one - By Paul September 20, 2026 at 09:34:26 AM

        Exactly. RR can have spurts of success under the right circumstances, but he is not capable of sustained success at a top tier program. And beyond that he seems to be a genuinely bad dude.* - By Eric September 20, 2026 at 09:47:42 AM
    - Hoke did eat his Sugar Bowl cake the following year.* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 09:22:32 AM
      - It helped that Hoke brought in someone that actually knew how to coach defense.* - By Eric September 20, 2026 at 09:37:35 AM
        
        Agree, but the D was young in 2010. Also Hoke inherited an now experienced Denard plus Gallon, Roundtree, Touissaint, Lewan, Schofield, Molk, Koger, Countess - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 09:50:06 AM
- Next week is going to be very tough hosting Ok State and Mestemaker* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 09:15:42 AM
  - For sure. It’ll be an old school (2010-era) Big 12 game - thinking like 45-41 WVU.* - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 09:18:11 AM
