West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez couldn't help but soak in the playing of “Country Roads,” following the conclusion of spring practice.
A clearly emotional Rodriguez, surrounded by players, fully embraced the feeling of being back home and what the song meant to not only him but so many people within the Mountain State.
That’s because Rodriguez, a Grant Town native, that grew up in West Virginia and then played for the Mountaineers under legendary coach Don Nehlen before coaching the program himself first as an assistant and two different stints as the head coach knows it all too well.
