Rich Rodriguez, was the former WVU head coach and Caponi coached under Rodriguez at Arizona for the past four seasons.
His connection to the Wildcats was not directly tied to Rodriguez, however, his connection is more Mountaineer-related these days. Current WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson coached at Arizona with Rodriguez back in 2008, his first year out west.
Then, Gibson coached at Pitt in 2011.
