http://www.yardbarker.com/content/team/193 Recent articles about the West Virginia Mountaineers en-us Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez, in efforts to appear like a good guy that didn't leave West Virginia for more money, has finally gone too far. Rodriguez recently came out and said he was "coerced" (in other words, threatened or forced) to sign a multi-million dollar contract with Michigan. He didn't explain the specifics of what "coerced" means, but I'm guessing it's somewhere along the lines of "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Give it up Rich-Rod.

Police said the charges stemmed from an altercation outside Club Z in Morgantown on Feb. 16 but did not provide details. "Discipline with the situation has already been handled within the program," WVU football coach Bill Stewart said through a spokesman. He said he would have no further comment.

Yes, the whole state. You can not blame them. Their hearts were broken. All the reasons for his departure are unknown, but it looks like money was the #1 reason. This next video depicts the situation perfectly.

The funny thing is West Virginia fans might think this kid is a comparable option to the guy they hired, Bill Stewart.

For those of you who do not know Calvin Magee is the assistant head football coach for the University of Michigan. Prior to accepting the position at Michigan, Magee coached for seven years at West Virginia. At West Virginia Magee was the running backs coach, then offensive coordinator, and last year was the assistant head coach.....

I'll be happy just splitting those games because later on down the road, the brain trust at SU decided it would be a good idea to visit Notre Dame. I know they sucked last year, but so did we. Should be quite the ratings spike for NBC. Here is the complete run-down: August 30 at Northwestern September 6 AKRON September 13 PENN STATE September 20 NORTHEASTERN September 27 PITTSBURGH October 4 Open October 11 at West Virginia October 18 at South Florida October 25 Open November 1 LOUISVILLE November 8 at Rutgers November 15 CONNECTICUT November 22 at Notre Dame 2:30 p.m. NBC November 29 at Cincinnati With 12 games, I suppose we have a chance at becoming bowl eligible, but other than Akron and Northeastern, I'm not sure where we'll find those wins. At least opening day is on my birthday. Let's go Orange!

I am more angry he left WVU because he could not be a first round to third round pick. He made a dumb move with turning in his papers. Who gave him advice to go pro Coach Rodriguez. Oh.. here we go again. Slaton won't even be a first day pick and can not go back to WVU now. Even if he did Devine will most likely split time in the backfield. Even with less carries he would get more yards than the past season.

This year's class is much, much deeper, with most of the top prospects juniors. So, start day-dreaming about a few of these top-notch tailbacks dropping below the first couple of rounds, because it's going to happen.
