My Take On RR To Michigan

If you've ever read this blog at all, you know I think Rich Rodriguez is a terrible coach. Does he have a nice offensive scheme? Sure. His only problem is making it work against good teams, or without Pat White.

Rich's success can be correlated 100% with the emergence of Patrick White as the WVU starting QB. Without White, we were perennially an 8-4 to 9-3 sort of squad. With Patrick, we are much, much better. Why is this one might wonder. Well, I'll tell you why. That's what I'm here for, dammit.

Rich Rodriguez is a fucking egomaniac who cannot prepare his team or call a game. It is physically impossible for him to come up with imaginative plays or make adjustments. In short, he's an idiot. We run 7 plays, and 5 of them are bubble screens. The other two are the "wildly inaccurate bomb" and "run fast somewhere they ain't". His only clutch playcall is known as "Patrick, please do something!", and Pat comes up with that one by himself.

Let's face it. WVU is the same team that was going 8-4 or 9-3, but we have a QB who can get out of almost anything. Virtually every single big play we have is a broken play. Thank you Patrick, you are fucking sweet. Fuck you Rich, you fucking suck.

Everyone also wants to discuss his 3 10-win seasons in a row. These coincide with not only Pat's presence, but also the added 12th game. In reality, we are still almost always a 2 loss team, with our 10th win coming from some garbage OOC game. 9-win seasons are nice, but not nearly as impressive as the old 10-win variety. So let's not get our panties in a bunch over the 10 win thing. He gets 10 wins by default. We play no one, I'm not even going to bother defending that statement (you know it and I know it), have an extra game, and have much better players than most everyone we play. We also don't play Miami, BC, or VT anymore (yes, it does make a difference).

And let's not credit RR too much with the recruiting either. First of all, it's not that great. We get a couple great players, but not many. Secondly, he doesn't do much of it. Props to Magee, et al. for that. Rich is not responsible for players coming to WVU. He's too much of a stupid dick to be a good recruiter.

We also never talk about all the chokes. 2004 BC and Pitt, 2005 (VT? Nah, they were better than us) but almost the Sugar Bowl, 2006 UL and USF, 2007 USF and the Atrocity of Which I Shall Never Speak. Rich has ALWAYS lost games he shouldn't. Why? Poor preparation, no adjustments, and blaming the players for the losses. SURPRISE!! He's an egomaniac.

With the talent this team has, a monkey could win 10 games a year. Only poor preparation and playcalling can keep us from losing only 1 game. And guess what...Rich is a poor at preparation, attrocious at playcalling, and incapable of adjusting. He also blames players for EVERY SINGLE LOSS!! He's an egomaniac.

Fear not Mountaineer fans, we've been better than we are now, and we'll be better again. RR has been holding us back. Did he rebuild the program a bit? Sure, I'll credit him for that. But let's not forget that we were only down at the tail end of Nehlen's career. All RR did is get us back to where we already were. We have a lousy schedule and nothing to show for it. Why? Because Rich is terrible at preparing a team, can't call decent fucking plays, won't make adjustments,and blames players for losses. He's an egomaniac.

Next year the OOC improves, and hopefully, so will our coaching. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Let's get back on the right track, and thank Michigan for taking this stubborn, idiotic asshat off our hands. They helped us upgrade in basketball, and are giving us the chance to upgrade in football. Let's not blow this. NO TERRY BOWDEN!!

So remember kids, don't fret. Rejoice!! We are now Rodriguez-free! We may struggle some with the transition (see Louisville), but we might not (see Cincinnati). I, for one, am more than willing to take the gamble.

Let's go Mountaineers!!
