I am getting reports that CRR has accepted and a conference is scheduled for tommorow. :)

I'd like to be the first to welcome Coach Rodriguez to the end of his career.

I have to give Mal credit, he did go outside the Bama family to pick a HC up. Who knew people that didn't play at Bama could actually coach too??

The ones that DID play there haven't exactly burned up the sidelines, they might as well go "outside".

I do commend him though. Going "outside the family" in Alabama isn't a popular decision. :)

If it's true, I might consider that one of the dumbest moves a coach has made in a while..

Good luck to him, he'll need it.

Is hiring outside the Bryant lineage even legal in Alabama? Didn't they codify such a prohibition after the Mike Price debacle?

Dumb because it's a million more a year or because it is Bama? A coach with half a set of balls could have won 9 games last year, you agree?

I'm not sure Bob Stoops would have won 9 games with that team. Not at all impressed with their personnel.

These rumors are like a broken record. "The ink is dry! With coach *insert name*" :rofl:

In about 4 years, CRR will be looking back on what he had at WVU while he looks for another coaching job.

My prediction:

Year 1 - hailed as program savior, children born in 07 will be named Rich or Rod

Year 2 - some signs of cracking are overwhelmed by calls to "let him get his players in here"

Year 3 - 50/50 on he don't do it like the Bear - Auburn is starting to say "Fear the BigToe" as second hand is filling up.

Year 4 - worst hiring decision every made - Mal Moore and RR must go.

One good thing for CRR if he takes the Bama job, he won't have to play South Florida anymore..

I actually think he will do a good job there. Bama has sucked for a decade, but that is a program with a lot of talent and support available to it. Bama's biggest problem is their fans. They just need to step back and give a guy some breathing room and the opportunity to get it done. They finally are removed enough from the sanctions where that shouldn't be an excuse any more.

Huge mistake for CRR. He will never satisfy fan base or more important, the big movers and shakers of Bama. Not having a Bama or Bear heritage brings the tolerance factor for success to about two years for SEC championship.
