They had bad coaches after Holtz. And lo and behold they went out and got an NFL assistant, kinda like Im suggesting here.

the Big East is bush league
Bama IS a plum job
they were ready to make RR one of the highest paid coaches in college football~can other programs put a coach in the top 5 paid w/o having
coached a game there? few
plus the have better facilities than most NFL teams
and a 92,000 seat stadium
with the right coach, we'd have recriuts lining up at the door
and all the SEC teams you mentioned only passed us up
when the NCAA handed us the stiffest probabtion ever aside from
the death penalty, and we STILL remained competitive with all those teams
the bottom line is you get comfortable where you are
and Rita, the wife, didn't want to move from the hills

Dude, if the Big east is bush league, you are insulting your own program.
I think they felt comfy there, and if another job calls in the east, he will take it someday.
Just like the Rutgers coach. hes got it made now, he told Miami not interested.
Quite frankly I think they both want the Penn St job as Joe Pa nears retiremnet. And Florida St will be open soon enough as well.
I think those jobs are more appealing and you can put me down hard for a big bet on a RR/Schiano exacta box on the Florida St Penn St jobs when they open up.

the Big East is Bush league, as far as facilities
now RR has convinced the AD to upgrade those
if he stayed, so he agreed
now when he does leave WV he'll look like a champ
instead of a villian
he was booed at the WV basketball game last night
and that's his alma mater, and home state for both he and his wife
I see this more of a reflection on RR and his agenda
than anything negative about the Bama job itself

RR convinced the AD to upgrade HIS facilities!
It's called leverage and he used it well.

he did, but in the process broke a "gentleman's agreement" (aka his word)
I'm not that upset really, but the people they've been after
Spurrier, Saben, Rodriguez are all about themselves
you start to lay down with dogs, expect to get fleas

Facilities, I have to laugh at this comment, the beat writer for University of Cincinnati Football who covered Georgia and spent time at Alabama, commented that the UC facilities were as good or better than Georgia and Alabama, we're talking about a middle of the road Big East School, this job is not what you think...
