WVU Coach Rich Rodriguez is getting rid of EVERYONE!

[@codyparsons6800]

im really happy to see Rich is getting rid of Neal’s staff . i don’t know why anyone would want to keep any of them.

[@lawtalk5665]

They’re all terrible! See ya!

[@Muffdiver1017]

Rich was saying he is looking for more men on the coaching staff that had more teenage boys to 👀 at while he showers 🚿 🧼 said that was truly his main disappointment in his last staff

[@kellyc9597]

It's awesome to see this podcast doing so well! Congrats and miss you. Keep up the good work because this is obviously your calling.

[@tiptopsmoke1086]

same exact thing happened the first time, only Bill Stewart was left on his first hire at WVU

[@kellahobbs9232]

It was said the other day, RichRod is going to keep Blaine Stewart. This is No Surprise

[@StanleyMetzJr]

No surprise here with how this staff & NB performed. Looking forward to seeing what RR does with his staff

[@Vextex.]

I can confirm that Parker Whiteman is in fact coming w/ Rod from Jax State...He's from Keyser, WV...Grew up with him and he's on the way...Been loyal to Rod for years....Whiteman learned under Barwis and followed Rod to Michigan, Zona, and Jax State...Not sure if Joseph is gone or not, but strength team will not only be Joesph for sure

[@LockedOnWestVirginia]

Thanks.

[@ryanlemley7736]

i'm gonna guess that Joseph is going to be retained. i truly believe he's one of the most respected in the biz these days.

[@jameslong4929]

Pretty well expected them to go. New coach, new staff, new team. We needed a clean slate. Its gonna be just fine.

[@andrewsmith8659]

Don't you realize that they were 6-6 team last year coach Todd can replace 90% of these guys no need for panic at all bro!!

[@Doug-e8y]

I would have been more worried if RR would have kept several coaches. He doesn't know them. To take a chance on them fitting his mindset and his system would be silly when he obviously has people in mind for his vision.

[@allamerican7351]

Your nuts if you thought Rich was keeping any of those guys

[@jaymcclanahan353]

Rich put in 60 new players at State last year and I would say he won the conference, so it can be done!!

[@ernest345]

Rich Rod stated, he's bringing in he's own guy's, and they have all been with him from the inception.

[@chriscalcamp4730]

Yeah it would be super awkward if he retained any of the coaching staff. The only reason he’s keeping Blaine is because they already know each other. If not for that he’d be gone too this isn’t shocking at all.

[@chrisjudy1604]

Not surprised at any of this. Defense was 🗑 and offense couldn't find the word "urgency" in a dictionary. They line up to slow, do way too much pre snap fooling around, and were completely the opposite of RR's philosophy.

[@JoKeer80]

The OL was one of the best units in CFB and needs to be preserved as much as possible as a base to build on. It takes years to build the depth and continuity WVU has.

[@johnray3927]

Look Rich doesnt know these people. Why would he keep them? Its all about trust.

[@lawtalk5665]

That & they’re proven losers.

[@David-p4k9q]

We sacrifice 6 years with Neal Brown. Im giving Rich Rod time to turn it around. It’s not gonna take 6 years. Take that to the bank.

[@Stud_muffin]

Hey, Washington Commanders cleaned house, we are 9-5 (last year 4-13). I could see keeping some O coaches, but he wants his own people he can trust.

[@TerryWatkins-rb5mo]

Watched Jeramia Johnson on TV years ago as a mountain man. Didn’t realize he could coach football also.

[@billhaynes400]

🤣🤣. I thought the same thing. The Louisiana Tech DC doesn't look anything like Robert Redford, though!

[@hbarfarkle]

It would be very unusual for a player who enters the portal to return to a team that has a HC change.

[@billhaynes400]

True enough. I live in Huntington and Marshall, who won the Sun Belt Championship two weeks ago, isn't going to their bowl game because half the team entered the portal the day after Coach Huff left.

[@billhaynes400]

I don't know if anyone remembers Rich's first season in Morgantown. It was pretty bad. 3-8, I think. Then things got much better very quickly.

[@masonmyers1198]

Takes a year or two to get his system players in the program. Rich Rod's option type offense needs certain play-styles too. In 1 or 2 years no doubt they will be an offensive threat. I think no matter what our defense will improve too, for sure it will be better than the end of the season.

[@TerryWatkins-rb5mo]

RR was named the coach-not you and not me. We need to stop second-guessing him and his decisions!

[@TomN44]

Wasn't expecting? It's common a new head football coach, like new Presidents, to bring in his own coaches.

[@JonDoty-b4h]

Kinda surprised he didn’t keep Chad Scott. RBs have been solid the whole time under him.

[@Mattdixxx]

Getting the word also that WVU is looking at Penn state backup qb to come run our offense because he can run and I like it ! Throw a Cpl of dollars that boys way ! With a promise he will start from day one and let’s get a back bone to lead our boys next year .

[@MatthewCSeuferwindowsheaven]

Clean House! Lets Goooo

[@BillCoger]

INDIVIDUALS NEED TO SLOW DOWN. 1ST YEAR 3-4 WINS....( I AM JUST BEING REALISTIC).HOPEFULLY 6-8 WINS.. JUST GIVE HIM TIME ...YEAR 2 -3 WATCH OUT... 8-11 WINS...

[@masonmyers1198]

Depends, transfer portal is a blessing and a curse. The first time he had 3 wins because you could only recruit. Our WR core is mostly staying intact, and we are keeping Jaheim White. White is the exact running back his spread uses. If Rich picks up an accurate scrambler, and a blocking te or good slot wr they could be 7-6 or better.

[@masonmyers1198]

Neals schemes handicapped the defense too, if we get a few system db and lb they could be much better. The defense this year was lacking one area always. I am very confident that we will not have a worse defense than this year, although not as much with offense. My prediction is 5 to 8 wins if it goes right.

[@jeffrichards1537]

Past few years under Neal brown has been horrible. I'd clean house too. He just needs to bring in people he trusts.

[@zaphodbeatlebrox4906]

I suspect Stewart has a job as long as he wants it.

[@rh450]

I think our next DC is waiting till after the bowl game to be announced 12/28 would be the day I guess

[@probemartian]

Neal Brown can now take his old staff with him

[@joshchipps6929]

So I'm looking at the ad as I write this based on the title only. GOOD!!!

[@donjohnson6186]

Not that he wont but if Johnny Williams would have stuck with Rich Rod i think the hard work would have brought the best out in the young man and he would have had a beter NFL chance. Very good players that work hard become great players!

[@billsheets1]

The same people panicked over Devries

[@Mattdixxx]

Did anyone think they were keeping anyone on defense ? Thats the worst group of defensive coaches I’ve ever seen

[@michaelpauley125]

Wv really wasn't looking for Loyalty & Integrity.

[@bobbywyatt3]

Dude they sucked they had 4 losing seasons in the past 6. Get over bro they suck. They didn't become the top 15 winning program of all time they are by having losing season after losing season never competing against top 25 teams.

[@lawtalk5665]

Exactly!!! Bye, slouch down in your seat guys! Good luck. We don’t need your traitor ass. I’m talking to you, CJ Donaldson. Ya Pugsley baby.

[@Mattdixxx]

The biggest losses without a doubt is the 2 linebackers that left . They are both going to be jn the nfl. The one guy that went to Missouri will be an all American and a figure top 5 linebacker pick in the nfl

[@JVillan-isCool]

We need to clean house

[@hbarfarkle]

No worries. It will all be okay.

[@JBWV]

How were you not expecting this? I feel like this is what everyone has been expecting. I don't think it has anything to do with the Memphis game.

[@Mattdixxx]

I was proud of the way our team played vs ranked Memphis tbh . We had drops, we missed extra points , green wouldn’t run it again to really open up the offense . And he did run it some and did real well but once again didn’t run it when he should a few times and even slid once that almost cost us a drive . We didn’t have our best offensive player nor our defensive players . Half of our team half assed it . I was proud of those boys . Also I don’t think Chad Scott was much of anything . I was not impressed . I was more impressed with Jacksonville state rb coach that coached a rb who had the 2nd most yards in college football . And rich rod will def replace these guys . If WVU has the money they will be replaced. It’s not going to be over night but it’s coming . WVU will have strong running backs like always and and a slimmer hard fighting offensive line , along with a read option mobile qb and recievers that can block and catch. So get ready . Let’s go !!!

[@sadjmoe1269]

Why would Rich Rod bring back parts of the DISEASE that has been wvu the last 6 years?

[@WilliamCBolen]

How did you not expect that?

[@ericweaver8155]

Most these guys are following Neal. If you ever went to a Brown football camp you probably had questions about coaches having control. A couple years ago I was at a camp and I was watching the running backs and Scott was in charge of running backs, and he couldn't get those kids in a straight line and stay in a straight line. They just kept jumping around all over the place. While the linebacker, coach had his guys in a line and so on and so forth.

[@davidwilliams4498]

Should have kept the offense line coach. . Rich Rod slacking right out of gate. No coaches hired yet. He wants a small school Louisiana tech defense coordinator . Can he attract team speed. power 4 players.. By time rich gets his staff together all the really good portal players will be gone. Entire start offense line has grad or transfered. Wow. Don't have a clue how good we will be next season. As of now not looking like we will even be a winning season team.

[@toshmiller5571]

Thanks

[@brentbillings2298]

Wow... what willing to wait a few years.... you guys kill me

[@billsheets1]

D backs just ran with the receivers and never looked back or raised a hand to bat a ball down

[@wosyank8620]

sounds like this guy wants RR to keep NB!

[@billsheets1]

dude Paul was one of the first to want Brown gone

[@jbrumfield6090]

I expected it. We sucked

[@toddpatrick8254]

Johnny who? 😂

[@billzaferatos2256]

Why wouldn't you expect this?

[@brentbillings2298]

Kicker mainly in college.... wow

[@jim33758]

Why is MIKE JOSEPH COMING BACK! THAT GUY IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST. He tells the players they are so strong when they are horrible and weak!

[@kevinmace]

Please get rid of Mike Joseph!! I heard he is gone.

[@Vextex.]

I can confirm Parker Whiteman is on the way...hes my friend....been loyal to Rod for years and texted me the other night saying he's coming back home...full circle for him...Don't know if Joseph is gone or not, but I can say that Strength is going back to Barwis methods

[@zacharyvalloric9076]

I agree Mike Joseph should have lost his job along time ago !!!

[@Muffdiver1017]

I’m sure they will I heard they caught him down at suburban lanes behind the dumpster smoking meth

[@epiidemiktv1761]

Mike Joseph is not getting fired

[@jim33758]

Mike Joseph is the worst. How does he keep getting to stay

[@BigtimeMyrtleBeach]

Your only as good as the people you have around you. They were 6and6. Paying players is wrong.

[@brentbillings2298]

This happens all the time. Lol no big news

[@dennisgovachini7988]

It's all Misleading hype....noone keeps the staff of their predecessor. No scandal...that's sports. You don't keep anyone unless you want them.

[@stevenmorgan3849]

Sucks cj left and Hudson an the lineman its shitty hope white stayes

[@nemofish9685]

Can't wait to say i told you so when Dick rod isn't the savior everyone thinks he is! He isn't a good coach and his behavior shows. He won here in the early 2000's because we played in a joke of a conference the big east of the 2000's was basically a mid major conference, whit a BCS bid contract still in place. He has been accused of sexual assault, sleeping with cheerleaders ect. We all know Pat Mac and is Fanduel money is the only reason he is here!

[@brentbillings2298]

I think you are building him up a little to much

[@michaelmartin5869]

We need to stop with this Co bs. IMO it's going to cost WV some good coaches.

[@toddpatrick8254]

We don't have any good coaches. Just Beal Brown's foot soldiers.

[@billhaynes400]

Paul! Turn your hat around! You look like you just came off an all-nighter in Sunnyside! There is nothing wowy about a new/old coach scrapping the whole staff. Rodriguez has his own folks in mind, and that's okay. And he saw a lot in that bowl game that wasn't very good. Time to fish or cut bait!

[@user-co4qf6hw6m]

OMG BRO STOP!!,WV WILL BE FINE GOD!!!.
