WVU Rich Rodriguez Introduction 12/13/24

[@donnachapman2057]

I’m from Gran Town.. live in SC now - 3 sons graduated from WVU and many others. I appreciate both sides- remember well the heartbreak- noticed he said he “should never have left… mistake”…. Still would have appreciated a “I’m sorry” - it was more than a job changed! 17:07

i thank wren for making this all happen bring some passion back to this awesome program and pat he knows we love him we will win with this coach

[@Historyden]

As a Michigan fan I am happy for Rich Rod .. I think even he realizes now he was not a good fit for Michigan. But he did produce some really exciting teams with Denard Robinson .. loved watching him play.

[@MrJohn33751]

A West Virginia fan was hecking Rich Rodriguez at his press conference. There were no Pitt fans at his press conference.

[@rodneyworkman-si2cs]

I especially cannot wait to see Nicco take that first snap next year. The regret seems genuine, glad we have a dedicated coach now. I can now push my massive nephew to go play at WVU, 5'11 265 in 8th grade. Hey Rich, where can I send video of him playing. Lets go Mountaineers!

[@amandanilles8038]

He's going to make this team so much better, and so much better prepared for the big 12.

[@sapper1019]

Welcome back, Coach !!!!

[@annafoster5567]

I love that Owen was there. Looking forward to their next season!

[@Historyden]

As a UM fan happy for Rich Rod. He might not have been successful at UM because his style didn't fit but he had some really exiting players like Denard Robinson. I think he will turn it around there ..

[@annafoster5567]

He had me crying in that last minute.

Hard Edge!! We have our coach Back welcome Home!! Time to kick ass & take names Big 12 you have been warned!!

[@Taco1983]

This guy brings power with him

[@tutnod2449]

The only Power 4 program that wanted him was WVU.

[@jayfranklin5736]

What happened around the 10 minutes mark? It's not clear what the noise was about.

[@ChristopherBoyer]

Guy was shouting for him to go back to Michigan. They escorted him out.

I love it!

[@bobfox2733]

Wren Baker is an awesome AD

[@Historyden]

As a UM fan I always liked WV a lot - we need them back on the scene.

[@tutnod2449]

Based on hiring a guy that any old schmuck off the street could have hired?

We are so back

[@Historyden]

As a UM fan glad to see Rich Rod back where he belongs. He gave us Denard Robinson one of my all-time favorite UM players ..

[@Slushpapa]

If he doesnt run the annexation of puerto rico during this next stent, there are gonna be some upset mountaineers.

[@codytotten9545]

I have mixed emotions, not how he left and all that. I’ve gotten over it. More so if it’s a mistake in the sense of his success since he left WVU hasn’t been all there. I fear if this Is a failed experiment we will be at step one again and taking the program even farther into a rebuild.

[@Historyden]

As a UM fan I always liked WV and hope he does well there and he has always been a very good recruiter. He will upgrade the talent there for sure ..and of course he gave us Denard Robinson

[@nazmoking3171]

Lock up the cheerleaders 😉

[@BrendenBaker30]

Did I hear some boos from the fans?

[@Historyden]

They were booing a heckler that was eventually escorted out

[@davidpyles8270]

Give him 3 years and you’ll wish NB was back

[@kevinhancartii2853]

No shot. I’d rather have a hard nosed mountaineer leading this team to winless seasons then some soft soy boy

[@HevinDeadlee]

I can assure you, no we will not.

[@davidpyles8270]

[@Historyden]

I think he will upgrade the talent - he can recruit

[@davidpyles8270]

@@Historyden it’s not called recruiting anymore. It’s called buying

[@wvpatriot1301]

13-9 go back to Michigan

[@donaldjohnson-dn4uj]

I’d be hella more receptive if he could just say “sorry”. He just calls it a mistake and to many of us it was and is more than that.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@donaldjohnson-dn4ujhe doesn’t owe anyone an apology. Nobody else ever apologizes for changing jobs.

[@wvpatriot1301]

@@Commentleaver-c6x he literally lost on purpose beat his wife chased cheerleaders and an affair with a secretary.

[@Historyden]

He gave us Denard Robinson though - one of my all time favorite players

[@donaldjohnson-dn4uj]

@@Commentleaver-c6x it’s not the fact that he changed jobs bud, it’s the way he did it. Apparently this entire topic is waaaaay over your head and I’d wager you don’t even remember how it went down.

Most were there to be on the McAfee show!

[@patrickmccarthy8344]

no?

[@gabedaniels367]

Pat just has a good way of combining his program with our athletics. Did the same thing with the Penn st. Game.
