Rodriguez going to Michigan (merged)

[droski]

There's a new twist in Michigan's ongoing search for a head coach: University officials are meeting with West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez, according to Sporting News Radio correspondent Michael Bradley.

Rodriguez and his agent are in Toledo, Ohio today to negotiate with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and university president Mary Sue Coleman.

Michigan has been looking for a head coach since Lloyd Carr announced his retirement Nov. 19 after 13 seasons leading the program. It was assumed LSU coach Les Miles was Michigan's top target, but he has said he's not a candidate and will stay in Louisiana. Greg Schiano was contacted about the job last week but decided to stay at Rutgers.

He was doin great at WV why leave

Winning the Little 11 would be easier than winning the Big East.

Had to throw that in!

Pitt was too much to handle. He wants out of that league.

That offense would certainly be a shake up for what the current average big 10 team is running.

 

[rwemyss]

He's a WV alum. He refused to leave for 'bama, I don't see him leaving for MEEEEECHIGAN.

Then why even talk with them? Don't know what game he is playing. Probably just $$$.

A few buddies just said their offense is similar to Purdue and that Ohio State could handle the spread.

I about pissed myself laughing.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

They was comparing WV's offense to Purdue's??? What they hell are they smoking? I like Purdue but get real. What's with the WV/Michigan pipeline? First they get thier hoops coach and now Rodriguez?

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Big 10 fans are delusional, they think Penn State is still a power or a quality win.

I'm with rwemyss on this, unless he's getting alot of slack for blowing a chance to go to the NCG.

 

[BigPapaVol]

He might just be ultra tight with his boy Beilein and wanna follow.

ya never know what goes on behind closed doors.

I was reading an article this morning about how much Rodriguez doesn't get along with the WV AD....so that is a little explanation...but this deal doesn't appear to be done...does it?

 

[Volsguy12]

on ESPNEWS right now

 

[005]

TO Michigan..
:question:
ESPN - Reports: Rodriguez leaving West Virginia to coach Michigan - College Football

 

[tvolsfan]

Hopefully Michigan can beat OSU every now and then, now.

 

[005]

Even though this might rule out WVU for Pryor, meaning he'll be at tOSU

 

[tvolsfan]

But now he gets McGuffie.

 

[kptvol]

The Big East will completely fall off the map next year.

 

[utmba93]

The headline sounds a lot more certain than does the article. Is ESPN sure or just worried about being wrong about the same job twice within the same year?

 

[KillaRed54]

i heard pryor has added michigan to his list now

 

[Volsguy12]

who else is over hearing about Pryor?

 

[utmba93]

i heard pryor has added michigan to his list now

but not Duke?

Does he plan on working with the position coach or just the HC? Would a new HC have enough time to be a good QB coach during his first year?

Maybe this guy is over-hyped and he's already lost his perspective.

Eric Berry... better athlete, better mind, better for the program. I'm glad we've already got him on board. Let Pryor do whatever he wants.

If he thinks one man makes a program, so be it. This is the problem with putting too much stock in one higher schooler. Besides we've already got a couple of good QB's (I hope).
