Roll Tide. But, frankly, I don't think that we (that is Alabama) will return to our God-given place at the top of the college football heap until we dump Mal Moore.

It better be for a lot of money, as I think Rodriguez would have to be crazy to leave Morgantown. There is the SEC versus Big East consideration though.....

WHEW!!!

I thought Navy would lose Paul Johnson. Turns out the Navy job pays more than Alabama anyway.

I thought Rodriguez said he was staying? He said it the night they played Rutgers..

[Varda]

I don't think Rodriguez will take it. I think he'd be nuts if he did.

[hubbubhubbub]

LOL. Bama will be paying more money to WVa to buy out the contract then they will be paying Rodriquez to coach!!
Sounds like rodriquez will be a gap filler at Bama.

Meanwhile, Shalala and Co in Miami maybe could get Howard Schnellenberger to come back to Coral Gables. :)

Speculation over the past week has centered on Rodriguez and Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban.

Only because the Alabama football program and local media are trying to prop each other up. Saban was never approached, though his agent was. The agent turned Alabama down. End of story... except it wasn't, thanks to the media. Ugh.

As an alumnus of Pitt, I hope he takes the job.

I'm gonna try this again. If I have pinged you twice, I'm sorry. I copied the wrong ping list from MikefromOhio's About page. lol

For some unknown reason I don't like that guy, I've seen WV play 3 or 4 times this year and something about him just bugs me!

.The University of Alabama has extended an offer to West Virginia University’s Rich Rodriguez to become the new head football coach of the Crimson Tide, sources confirmed to The Tuscaloosa News on Thursday.

The media using the catch words/phrases "sources", "it has been reported that" or "reportedly" means they are reporting rumors and not fact because the parties involved (in this case Rodriguez and Alabama) have not confirmed anything with the media.
