Hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Let’s just start winning games and that’s something I think we can do and will do with Rich Rodriguez so glad to have him back.
i’ve been calling for this hirer since Dana left. You can back through all of your videos and see it in the comments. So today was a great day for me i couldn’t be happier. The Big12 is wide open and needs a new top dog to take over i believe we can be that top dog with Rich Rod in Morgantown leading our program
That’s a losers mentality. Winning a National Title is always the goal. You can win that WITHOUT a Big 12 title btw. So can’t say I agree other than that would just be sprinkles on top the ice cream
@@SteveBailey-f6h yeah I follow. But we haven’t been close to being invited to Big 12 champ game- but gonna go from that to national champs over night? Set expectations realistically
I held onto resentment for 17 years. I did not want him back. Like many of us, it was personal and, therefore, emotional. Over the past few days, I got over myself. I forgave RR when he hit the low of UL-Monroe. But I held onto the resentment. Having let that go, I'm much more at peace -- overall -- now. Redemption begins with a Pitt ass-kickin' on 9/13 to erase 9-13. LET'S GO!!
Running to the other end of the field during quarter changes. That was one of the two things I mentioned to my buddy that I was going to love to see again. The other was the "freeze" play when the defense jumped offsides and the linemen didn't move, but the skill players all continued the play. Those were so great.
Let’s also show some love to the country roads trust if you can afford it every little bit helps and if we can get top 20 money we can have a top tier team.
I wonder if Rich Rod still has the face cage from the helmut of Owen Schmit that was bent from impact in practice that was on his desk as an example of the work he wanted?
Hey Couz! It does matter, Rich is from West Virginia and Brown was not. All the fans who do not see this, doesn't understand what it means to be a Mountaineer. We needed Rich to come back now financially because of the supporters that are coming back also. You mentioned the money that the football team needs. I believe in Rich because I knew when he started oout at Glenville. You can also ask the kids who played for him, Rich put Glenville on the map with five conference championships. I still have my license plate from that time. Only one thing bothers me, McGhee cannot be here to be our OC. Or Tony, who i knew from Glenville State. Let's Go Mountaineers! Thank you Lord for bringing Rich home!
I don't think it will be a huge, long wait. Neal Brown was not a great coach, but I do think he built a good base. I think RichRod should win 7 or 8 next year and they will not look dumb in one game like they did this year several times.
WVU has some talent. Not coached up like they should have been. If they buy into RR program that talent will be showed. That his a big “IF”. These guys have no idea what comes in January. If they buy into it they will WIN with the Talent on the TEAM.
I will admit, I am pretty intrigued by Rich Rod so far. Excited to see what players he can bring in. Minus the Natty talk, I want to at least see us be contender for B12 title.
WVU very, very capable of winning B12 and FAST. All depend if these guys buy into RR program or does he need his guys. Hopefully a combo of both. If this team buys into RR program the B12 Championship will happen faster than if they do not.
Going from a coach that was afraid to play Bama to a coach that openly states he believes in the potential for winning a national championship. Whether or not that actually happens or not I don't know, but I love the passion he's already bringing to the program.
The excitement created by RR and Patty MAC about WVUN in the last few days is AMAZING. PITT is non the radar already and that isn’t great. Great time to be a Mountaineer.
@ well I wanted brown fired and couz alwsys said put your money where your mouth is at least I think that’s who said it Lol. So I did lol and your welcome sir
U got a very good point!!! About making a movie about this. Marshall got a movie starring Matthew McConaughey. I understand many people lost there live! 😢But have a movie with something positive! 🙏🏽💞🥳
Why is it there's a faction of fans feeling deep seated betrayal yet the guys that played for him are loyal? They are the ones that invested an incredible amount of time, blood and sweat. That heckler ...how would he react if you put him in the room with Owen Schmidt or Slaton etc? Would he call them traitors as well for backing Rodriguez?
That is the not knowing the real story that some fans is true. Most everyone player who played for RR supports him. That is important but few understand it. Like Patty Mac said of lounging????
I agree with a lot of the points Couz, I do. I don’t believe rich is a bad coach. The facts are the facts though, he was the man at the time or UM would have never agreed to terms. He went there and went 15-32, or something? We need to make the excuse for Neal then that we got top 5 expectations with bottom 5 budget. Nobody made him go to Arizona either. Which I agree with you that, it’s even a harder place to win at than WVU. If Neal wasn’t a good fit here then we need to grant him that excuse. It’s not objective to grant excuses to just ppl we like, with respect.
I forgive I don’t forget. Everyone deserves a second chance. That was my argument with Bob Huggins so I won’t be a hypocrite I will just say don’t screw it up this time Rich Rod and I accept your apology and felt it was sincere. Feels like WVU is putting a different type of gas in the tank for the first time in quite a while.
It appears it's harder now than ever to win an NC at all levels. The Big 12 has far more parity than the old Big East or the old Big 12. A huge cluster of programs such as Utah,Colorado,TCU, Texas Tech,Iowa State, Kansas State Arizona State,WVU etc. All of these programs are top 25- 30 range and add on the fact must play for conference championship to lock in a seat for CFP. Then after locking in a CFP seed must yet go through the playoffs gauntlet +2 or 3 games to win it all. Look what happened to UGA last week losing their starting QB..look what happened when Pat White was injured coming into the Pitt game. The 12 or 15 programs from the SEC & Big 10 that are 2 and three deep at all positions stand a far better chance of weathering the storm . RR is the man though to give WVU the best chance of at least receiving a CFP bid if not more. Aim high!
Pat got me pumped again. I dont agree with attacking the half thats hesitant on Rich. I believe everyone gets a second chance. But theres an issue with second chances. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Only time will tell.
I don't love the hire. The way he left was shitty. But I love WVU and my home state far more than I dislike rich. If he can get us back to the 06-07 level, then he has my support 100%. Spot the damn ball and let's get it!
All that nostalgia sours if we go 6-6 next year. Just sayin'. I'm still not sure this was the best move, but I'm willing to be convinced. I have zero hard feelings for RR and the PC today made me feel like he's one of us again. I am glad our teams are going to be tough again. I'm glad we're going to emphasize speed and strength again.
I’m Sorry… Neil Brown did not do this. I moved to Cincinnati yrs ago I went to this yrs WV Cincinnati game I watched C. Brown not getting involved with that.
@@alandorcas7852 I also moved to Cincinnati from West Virginia. My wife and I made the move 13 years ago. We moved from St. Albans to Amelia. We are happy with the move. LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS!
I have always seen a parallel between LeBron leaving Cleveland for “South Beach” and Rich Rod leaving for greener pastures. So hopefully his return to WVU will parallel in bringing a championship like LeBron did in Cleveland. Cleveland hated then forgave LeBron and I for one have forgiven him long ago. The AD at the time told Rich Rod no to putting money into the facilities and program and if He didn’t like it hit the road so he did. He did let his ego shoot himself in the foot but I think that I have done that myself.
With the amount of NIL money that's going to be coming in, I can see WVU competing for a national championship in 2026, if not next year. Look at Indiana, or Colorado.
Hope you are right. Indiana played ONE game and got crushed by Ohio State. Did not play MI ,PSU, OR. USC Big Easy is not called that for nothing. They will be out first round of playoffs. However Cignatti did a great job with them. Their is film on them and maybe play some better teams in B10.
Just curious, if Rich doesn’t win how many years are you going to give him before you would want him fired? How many years should he have to compete for a Big 12 championship.
All will know which way the program is going clearly by year 3. If going South let him go and move forward. IMO by year 3 WVU will be in the hunt for the B12 Championship.
Rodriguez will it take for the approach to football when you don't have a good offensive line he plays the spread offense but if he had a good strong defense when doc Holliday was there they may be able to develop some talent but to be able to win a national championship you have to have a strong defense that is Rodriguez's weakness but if you can find a good defensive coach then they may have some winning games they might be able to go into the playoff system and they might be able to win a championship in that division but to go as far as a national championship that's where Rodriguez well choke
Nat champ.. LOL.. good gawly yeah remember that gsme when Pitt loaded the box when Pat White had an injury that game an had best running fullback in football an he barely used him that game. I can assure anyone if Rich rod keeps that Joke 3 man D line zone where all the DB to far off reciever an no where near enough blitz packages rich rod wont even see a big 12 title game an if he dont know how to call plays or have a plan against a loaded box like in the 13 to 9 game . What is gonna change...
14:24 come on now couz you could say the same thing about brown and RR went 43-35 at Arizona. That’s slightly better than Browns 37-35. It’s 6 games better. So I hate when you do that…. By that it’s contradict yourself because you agree with something. Let’s keep the same standards for all. Unless your takes are slanted for the university
WVU was not a dumpster fire when Neal took over. They were coming off an 8-win season. Dana had left the roster somewhat bare, but the program as a whole wasn’t in terrible shape. Now, dumpster fire was probably too strong of a word to describe Arizona when RR took over, but they were coming off a 4-win season. Either way, it wasn’t an easy place to win and he’s one of the best coaches they ever had.
I spent a whole show being positive about the new coach. And I stayed on the Neal Brown bandwagon longer than most. You obviously didn’t pay attention then.

Hey Couz… did u watch RR had the enthusiasm he congratulate his players on offense & defense on the video’s he showed compassion!
Absolutely

Agree on both
Thanks!

Soooooo I’ll be giving more! 😆

I hope so.
Spot the ball Couz!
It’s a Great Story! Especially IF Rich finishes it now!
