LOL, who puts their house as their avatar? I like you kid, you're a little cooky, stick around.

watched Clerks 2 last night and LMAO
yeah, the problem is these old school guys like Mal and Paul Jr. are playing in a whole new ball game~ and that's why they brought in Chuck Neinas, who
should be fired immediately BTW
they need a good PR firm, and to sue ESPN & the Miami Herald for reporting false and damaging information
I hope Pratville whips Hoover
if it's Probst, I'm walking downtown and leaping off one of the bridges

Rich Rodriguez never intended on leaving WVU. Alabama is an attractive job for someone that is trying to make a name for themselves and granted there is quite a storied past. But if the people there think they can just throw out the ole Roll Tide and people are going to jump, they are sadly mistaken. There is no reason at all for any of the people mentioned as potential candidates to take this job. All they need to do is look at the attrition rate over the last 7 years to understand that there is absolutely no loyalty when it comes to being the head football coach there. Maybe if you pull off 11/1 or so in you first year, but that's about it. There was mention that RR broke a gentlemen's agreement earlier in this thread. I find that almost laughable. I wonder how many agreements were broken by the boosters and administrators when they sat down over the last 7 years and decided that the coach at the time wasn't the second coming afterall.

:P

We should make ESPN happy and hire a black coach. Ken Norton Jr. would be an excellent hire. Sure he lacks experience but he's done an excellent job as linebackers coach at USC. I imagine he could be a heck of a recruiter considering the Super Bowl rings he could flaunt.

ozzie newsome is "supposed" to be feeling out the nfl for coaches. everyone figures ozzie as the next AD at Bama when Coach Moore finally retires. i would think that after this Coach Moore will be ready to get out.
between ozzie and the Bama nfl alums seems like someone else would ahve popped up by now. Mike Sherman has thrown his hat in the ring publicly, not sure how i feel about that one.

Bama's not that hard to recruit for. Bama owns the state whether the barners like it or not. all they need is the couple kids from GA, TX, FLA, La. to finish out the rooster. Bama will sell it's self. the kids are instant "rock stars" the first visit to campus the they are asked for the autograph. the facilites are FIRST class. they are nfl facilites not as good as Bama's.

what i see as the problem is coaches don't want to have to coach in the SEC. face the facts week in and week out is a street brawl. if you can win 10 games every couple years or make arun at the NC every couples years you can be KING at Bama. it can bedone and fairly quick..... Bama is close to being Back, with the right coach to lead the way.

i think a lot of coaches show interest in a supposed better situation just to get a bigger offer at home. hell, who wants to pack and move? not me. spurrier had a rumor started that he might be interested in florida, not sure he was the one who started it of course.... but he quickly quashed it and ended up 500k richer a year, and guaranteed salary thru '12.
wvu has been higher up in the last few years than 'bama, he wouldn't necessarily be improving his situation--while the stakes would be much higher than where he is now, much like spurrier said about the 'canes.

omg, WE got Spurrier that raise NOT UF, how the hell would he get that job back when their coach has them in the title game?
WV plays in the Big East! all 9 SEC bowl teams could have finished 10-2
with WV's schedule

oops. put florida, it was miami that was rumored to be interested. didn't see anything about bama wanting him.

as for where alabama and wv play, has nothing to do with which would be 'better'. wvu has been in contention the last few years. bama wants to be, and has quite a storied history. BUT right now they are viewed as being very high risk, and possibly not high return. there is no patience down there for a coach to come in, recruit and build a program. especially considering sanctions they've had, which hurt recruitment. the merry go round of coaches here the last few years has hurt recruitment as well. i think shula did pretty well considering everything he took on. and now they have a huge question mark again.
as for bama owing recruits in alabama, i think auburn might disagree.

FSU will be grooming Jimbo Fisher before it's all said and done, IMO... Saint Bobby only has a couple of seasons left, if that.

jimbo fisher was offered the OC job at fsu already. he's playing the waiting game to see how things fall out. he wanted to go home to wv IF CRR took the Bama job.

Spurrier went to Bama to look into the job, and when he came back, SC gave him a raise and a contract extension through 2012. Before they hired Meyer a couple of years ago, Spurrier looked into coming back to Florida. He is a very proud man and didn't like the fact that he was told he would have to interview for the job just like everyone else. He knew that he would have a difficult time living up to Florida's expectations since he had already taken them to the top, so he went to a team where he could try and do the same thing that he had done for Florida.

I don't care for Jimbo Fisher... he's got a tie in with the Bowdens though, so perhaps he'll end up with FSU for sure. If so, they can have him! :p

i'll ask you guys this question.
would rather coach in the big east and win 8-9-10 games a year and an automatic BCS bowl bid OR have to coach a SEC street fight each week? IF you can win 10-11 games you play for the NC.

Coach Rod had the chance to play for a BCS game
but lost on his HOME TURF to South Florida
let me repeat South Florida!
that's really putting WV in contetion, isn't there Zigo?

i know spurrier and saban were on 'bama's wish list, but both seemed to shoot down any thoughts about going there, or anywhere, pretty quickly.

God! there's hope for us,yet!:D

Coach is benched 48 hours.. Can come back Monday calm and refreshed and talk to others here like they're human beings...
