As most of you have heard by now Michigan President and Sailboat Bill met with Rich Rodriguez, WVU head coach in Toledo yesterday to discuss becoming the next head coach at Michigan. RR did not give any further information and only told reports he was meeting with his financial analyst and was heading to practice.
My thoughts:
- Insiders are saying there is a good possibility that RR jumps to Michigan
- There is a "huge" buyout of $4 Million if he leaves WVU
- He turned down Alabama last year (offer was $2m a year for 6 years)
- This would be the second head coach we hired from WVU in less then a year
- I believe this would be a good hire for Michigan. Rich is 44 and has a ton of upside and could be in A2 for along time
- Was not impressed on how he coached during the Pitt game. He coach and the team played tight
- RR has a 10:30 press conference today that has been scheduled for weeks
- I expect him to stay at WVU
If this is Michigan's man, they better have him locked up or lock him up this weekend. Time and media will kill this deal. 2 Days until the recruiting quiet period.
