How Former West Virginia Head Coach Rich Rodriguez Changed History

I was at West Virginia University during Rich Rodriguez’s tenure as head coach. I got to school right after the 3-8 freshman season for “RichRod”. I graduated in 2004 and then proceeded to watch my alma mater go from an 8- or 9-win team to a powerhouse behind the legs of Pat White and Steve Slaton. Throughout it all I kept thinking to myself, “West Virginia is lucky to have found a coach who is at home. Any other coach would be looking to move on quickly”. Turns out I was more wrong than I was right.
