CollegeFootballTalk.com is reporting that Rich Rodriguez will leave West Virginia to become the head football coach at Michigan. Rodriguez will reportedly be paid $2.4 million/year, up about $400,000 from what he was getting with the Mountaineers.
Rodriguez, we recall, was supposed to leave WVU for Alabama a year ago, but changed his mind at the last second. If he pulls this again, it would not only make him look like nearly as big an idiot as Bobby Petrino and Nick Saban, it would also mean more egg on the face for Michigan who have been told no thanks by nearly every available and semi-available Division 1-A coach since Lloyd Carr vacated the premises.
Rodriguez's acceptance of the Michigan job would spell the end, obviously, for those pervasive Les Miles rumors. And good riddance to them too. Cause if I have to see Miles give one more indignant press conference about how LSU is his home and he's not leaving, I'm going to urp all over my keyboard.
Early speculation as to who will take over for Rodriguez at West Virginia centers around Terry Bowden, who can do anything he wants as long as he doesn't return to television. Guy was even more lame and insufferable than Lou Holtz.
