I would hope so. There probably is still a lot of misinformation out there. And for some folks, it doesn't matter what I say or why we made the move. They'll always be mad. It's unfortunate, but that's the way some of them want to be.
I've been back a couple of times and the West Virginia fans have been great. It's still my home. I enjoyed our seven years there very much, and I think they realize we gave it everything we had all the way until the day we left. And our entire staff did that. I think over time people realize it was a really good run.
Rich Rodriguez, reflecting on his perception in West Virginia.
There's good and bad in that statement. The good is him talking about the success that he had at West Virginia. Eventually, that will start to be better appreciated by the majority of the fan base.
The bad is the last sentence of the first paragraph. If you want to be accepted back in to West Virginia, both sides are going to have to swallow pride. Blaming WVU fans for still being mad is not the way to do that.

Of course it’s the “Fans’” fault Dickie. I mean, why would it be your fault? Nothing is ever your fault Dickie, nothing. What a joke.
I believe...
…that we should let go of our hatred of RichRod. He made his comfy bed, got kicked out of it, and is now sleeping in the sportscaster dog house. The truth is he took our football program from an after thought to a program that other schools actually have to be worried about playing. When West Virginia is on your teams schedule no longer does that hurt your schools’ schedule strength, it’s seen as a boon. If Holgs is successful this season then it will have all worked out for the best. I don’t know how much longer RichRod’s success in Morgantown would have lasted, though it would be nice to find a successful coach with ties to the university that is less likely to bolt for a more cushy job. We need the Bob Huggins of football.
