Got him on sale at the Dollar Store 😂😂😂 Rich Rodriguez returning to West Virginia at a (relative) discount Zach Barnett Rich Rodriguez will be one of Big 12's lowest-paid head coach in 2025. As the modern day philosopher Fat Joe says, "Yesterday's price is not today's price." I'm not sure if Mr. Joe authored that phrase with college football coaching in mind, but either way it applies, as underperforming coaches are fired and new ones are bought in on higher salaries than their predecessors, who themselves commanded higher salaries than the guys they were brought in to replace. See North Carolina, where Bill Belichick will earn twice what Mack Brown was paid. So, yesterday's price is not today's price, unless it is. New West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez signed a 5-year contract that averages $3.75 million annually and starts at $3.5 million, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Friday. That sounds like a lot of money -- and, indeed it is -- until it's placed in context. Rodriguez will coach the Mountaineers at a discount compared to the $4 million that WVU paid Neal Brown in 2024. It's still a massive raise from the $1 million and change Rodriguez made at Jacksonville State this season. He was the highest-paid Conference USA head coach by $56,000 according to the USA Today salary database, but the $3.5 million figure will make him the second-lowest paid Big 12 head coach
