Go F&%$ Yourself, Rich Rodriguez

I just decided not to waste my time.

Here’s the deal: you may think you’re being insightful, etc., but you’re just saying the same exact thing we’ve been hearing from Michigan fans for months and years. Something like, “Hey inbreds, we’re Michigan, too bad.” We get it, you’re Michigan. We also don’t care. Right now, for us, this has absolutely nothing to do with Michigan. It has to do with us wanting to be 100% done with Rich Rodriguez and not being able to do anything close to that. He keeps haunting us from beyond.

So, to deal with the problem, I wrote a humorous post about it. You, on the other hand, made a series of jerk-off comments that harshed my momentary buzz. Not cool man, not cool.

All I know is under Rich Fraud, you guys lost to Northwestern and Toledo (Yes, Toledo) at home. And Appalachian State before that. If any of those teams won in Morgantown I’d go kill myself.

LoL. Yeah, buddy. Keep supporting Rodriguez. You guys are awesome. Maybe this year you can beat a MAC team at home.

This guy is an Iowa fan. It’s okay buddy. You deserve to be mad at the world.

Can we include Rifle as a major men’s sport? Because that would really even things up.

you’ve ever heard of Don Nehlen have you? 149 WVU wins? three losing seasons in 20 years (which, incidentally, is 1 less than RR has had…at Michigan). Say what you will about “greatest glory”, but there is something to be said for consistently producing a good, solid team…

about games you guys won before my grandparents were born?

Nobody. “What have you done for me lately?”

That’ the BEST you guys could come up with? Seriously?

Charley mentions specifically that we don’t want to talk/think about him, but current circumstances force us to address the situation.

you realize that for 6 years he told everyone who would listen that WVU was his dream job and he never wanted to leave, only leverag the alabama job into a two million dollar salary, which in west virginia is equivalent to about 10 million anywhere else. and while espn was reporting that he had already accepted the alabama job, called into a local radio show the night before the last game and berated the hosts who were reporting the espn story. although, during his ranted he never actually denied that he was taking the job. he said, “i plan to be at west virginia as long as they’ll have me.” he was just mad that has wasn’t controlling the news.

so wvu ponies up 2 mil a year and a new weightroom, makes him only responsible to the president – marginalizing the AD, etc., and he says “when you see the terms of the deal, you’ll see that wvu is committed to me for a long time and i’m comitted to them and i plan to be here a long time.”

he then spends the entire next season having his agent said the Pres. emails referring to him as “product rodriguez”, making additional demands to those which were entirely granted to him less than a year earlier. he threatens to leave for texas a&m or florida state, both jobs that were occupied at the time. demands a subscription website, which the ncaa has deemed illegal.

he then chokes in the biggest game of his life and seeks the michigan job, moving a morning practice to the evening so he can fly to toledo and negotiate a deal. he then yells at reporters who ask about where he was.

he goes to the president’s house and demands a list of the most trite and assinine things you can imagine and tells him that west virginia isn’t so f-ing special. he doesn’t immediately leave when deined because he doesn’t really want to go, but instead sleeps on it. and takes the michigan job.

he turns in a resignation letter posted dated till after the fiesta bowl in hopes wvu will fire him and he wont have to pay his buyout, and sneaks out a back door of the complex to avoid reporters.

when he returns a few days later he shreads most of the documents.

he then all but says he won’t pay his buyout and makes up a lie that he was told that he wouldn’t have to pay it. he then spends 7 months spueing lies about west virginia and wvu such as an uncooberated claim that his family recieved death threats, a claim that was denied in a sworn affadavit that calvin magee was told he couldn’t get the wvu job because he was black. the claim that wvu has told him they were going to build the new locker room, even though they were currently building it. all these stories originating from his friend at the pittsburgh post-gazette.

he attended garrison’s deposition in an effort to intimidate. he repeats over and over again the wvu is using a smear campaign and that when people hear his side, the truth will come out. i guess the truth is hiding somewhere with OJ’s real killer.

wvu is granted a motion to compel documents detailing the contents of the meeting he had with coleman and martin in toledo, and then night before the docs are due, rich agrees to pay the 4 million dollars, every cent he’s been fighting to vigorously. michigan didn’t want it to be revealed that had agreed to pay part of his buyout if wvu tried to enforce it or be subject to an interference with contract claim.

now, two years later, his actions have made wvu the subject of an NCAA investigation.

so yea, we’re jilted ex-lovers in that our lover lied to us for years and then took off with another and has been lieing and throwing mud at us ever since and now making us subject to possible sanctions. beilein never said wvu was his dream job or that he’d never leave. he never planted stories in newspapers or espn smearing wvu’s image. he drag wvu through litigation for his buyout money. he faced reporters when he left. he never yelled at reporters for flirting with NC State. he never made us subject to ncaa investigations.

look, i’m one of the first people to admit that i think he was a great coach while he was here, and i didn’t want him to leave. i think we are worse off now than we were before he left. but so is michigan. and so is rich rodriguez. rich rod owes wvu 1.5 million, has a million dollar house for sale in morgantown which no one will touch, is the guarnteer on a couple 4 million dollar unpaid loans in real estate, and has coached michigan to back to back AWFUL seasons. with his buyout at michigan, he would be better off financially if he was fired. but now he’s facing ncaa penalties despite his crocodile tears, and now could be potentially fired for cause and not be paid a cent. he would then be 7 million in debt and no longer a hot coaching commdity.

there are no winners in this. you can act like we’re crazy for hating him, but most people do hate those that they cared for who then stab them in the back and spread “rumors and innuendo” for 2 years.

think about all the coaches in the rich rod vein: nick saban, bobby petrino, etc. they all are liars, yes. only rich rod left his alma mater. and more importantly, only rich rod dragged the old school through a law suit and publicly denounced it every chance he got.

1. We are mad because of Fraud’s LACK of loyalty, NOT because of our loyalty.

2. You ignore the fact that it has been reported NOWHERE that this investigation is ONLY about a “pattern.” The only place that has traction is on Michigan message boards.

3. The fact that you think the only feeling we should experience about Fraud is thanks. Just shows that you look down on WVU’s program and fans. This is what it appears you’re saying, “Fraud came down to poor little WV and bestoyed a couple good years on you and your poor sad people.”

4. WVU is being investigated because of what Fraud’s actions. That is it, end of story.
