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.
To: hubbubhubbub
Hubby wanted the Navy guy. Coach Rodriguez might not take the offer. We'll see.

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

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.

It's a pretty good bet he's staying, especially since WVU announced Wednesday that they're pouring a few million bucks into the football program.

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

LOL. Bama will be paying more money to WVa to buy out the contract then they will be paying Rodriquez to coach!! YOu are looking at his current salary. Bama is offering Coach Rod around $2.2 Mil a year (basically doubling his salary), and with incentives, TV/radio, etc he will be well over $3 Mil when it is all said and done.

WVU definately has an edge in that it is his hometown and alma mater -- but what WVU is talking about is peanuts compared to what Alabama has done and is doing. THey are talking $3-5 million in upgrades. Alabama just completed a $250 Million upgrade to the stadium and all facilities, including state of the art Sports Medicine and fitness facilities. And they have started planning ANOTHER 10,000 seats to the stadium to take it over 100,000.

Alabama's spending in the hopes that people won't notice their program sucks.

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!
