Retread-a-palooza

Mullen was a fun announcer but a sleazebag HC. We'll see what he can do with the bag game out of the picture, but he got guys into school after being caught on video beating the shit out of a girl, so he'll find some way to work the edges.

Home run higher?  Dipshit

1) That site has corona. 

2) Good luck to them. Maybe Steve Slaton will show up there shortly and make Dick Rod look awesome again.

Lots of Texas Longhorns coaches in here... hope Coach Choice stays at Texas.

2024 FootballScoop Coach of the Year finalists

Now in its 17th season, the FootballScoop Coach of the Year Program is the only coaching awards program where winners are selected by their fellow coaches.

Zach Barnett

Several of these finalist coaches will likely get new opportunities in 2025...

 

 

My takeaway from this is that our Linebackers Coach, Wide Receivers Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks Coach & Special Teams Coordinator all suck?

Because apparently, everyone else is freaking awesome

I think our current RB, Jahiem White, could thrive under his system in all honesty. Our biggest problem this past season was the defense and Rich ain't exactly a defensive guru.

I honestly don't know if thats good or bad for WVU but definitely a risk. I'm not convinced he'll bring them back to prominence but we'll see. 

I was just talking to a good friend who was a captain there, played in the early 80s, and he said he is not sure what will happen other than he will now again be able to get his field passes for whatever games he wants. So, he’s good with it. 🤣

College football is a much different landscape than it was in the the early 00's when dickrod was dickrodding. I have zero idea of what the WVU NIL program is like, but I'm guessing it's a losing battle in a state with that population size and a consistent presence near the bottom of per capital income rankings. Do they have a T Boone Pickens type booster that can even the playing field?

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

Boo fuckin' hoo

Only 3.5M to coach football. Hillbillies could've done worse with a Jimbo hire.

He's been a marvelous culture fit (in the ACC coaches survey, they asked who everyone's favorite band was - most everyone else said Springsteen/Jason Aldean/etc, and he said the Talking Heads) who moved his family to Winston-Salem and sincerely loved the program. Just a tough job at the smallest P4 school, and probably felt like his energy and power to lift it above the basement was waning.

This still doesn't feel real. If you had told me 3 years ago that Belichick would be coaching in college, I would laugh at you and call you delusional because CFB is lesser to him 
 

Apparently not. It'll be interesting to see if he can succeed in college, and how he will handle recruiting damn near 365 days a year. How he'll react to elite recruits attitudes.

Adam Schefter got the reporting on Sacramento State hilariously wrong, but it resulted in him dunking Doug Gottlieb through the center of the Earth on Twitter so it was definitely worth it.

 

Is it really a “dunk” when every single thing Schefter said was factually incorrect?
