West Virginia reacts to Rodriguez leaving
Published 12/17/2007 at FOXSports.com News for COLLEGE FOOTBALL
West Virginia was sitting pretty less than three weeks ago, with only Pittsburgh standing between the then-second-ranked Mountaineers and a berth in the national championship game.
West Virginia lost the regular-season finale and a chance for the trip to New Orleans. On Sunday, the Mountaineers lost their coach.
Michigan announced it had hired Rodriguez, just as the Wolverines had lured basketball coach John Beilein away last April.

Rich Rodriguez made the leap from West Virginia to Michigan Sunday and will be formally introduced as the Wolverines coach this morning. And just like that, Michigan's smashmouth mentality, instituted by Bo Schembechler and perpetuated by Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr, is indelibly, undeniably altered.Rodriguez: Liar, Douchebag, Good Coach, etc.
