Alabama Coaching Situation

[02Ram54]

Pat Forde, ESPN.com college football and basketball columnist, reported on Friday’s “The Dan Patrick Show” on ESPN Radio that he expects West Virginia University football coach Rich Rodriguez will receive an offer from the University of Alabama this weekend to become the Crimson Tide’s next head coach. That offer will apparently be made sometime after WVU’s regular season finale against Rutgers Saturday night.

 

Rodriguez’s current contract at WVU also includes a hefty buy-out clause. If either the University or Rodriguez would terminate the contract prior to Aug. 31, 2007, the buy-out would be $2 million. That buy-out decreases to $1.5 million after Aug. 31, 2007.

 

Despite that buyout, several sources within the West Virginia athletic department have indicated that Rodriguez has said he is ready to accept the Alabama job, if offered, and that he’s already talking to members of his staff about accompanying him to Tuscaloosa.

I am hearing Rodriguez is gone...this stinks.

[RockPride]

I just got a phone call from a WVU fan saying that Rodriguez called a local sports show that they guy that leaked the story is hosting, he just ripped him an said it is absolutely false...

 

..rumor is they are offering 10 years, $30 million, most guranteed....

How could Rich leave the Neers with Slayton and White coming back for two more years? If he does the next coach at WVA...Wow. Now if Rich could bring Slayton and White with him to Bama. I don't think he will leave and Mal Moore said last nite (Friday) there hasn't been any offers as of yet and that included Darth Visor. I think after the Matchups for the bowls are made it will get crazy. And my right arm is killing me and my wife will not speak about the Bama situation. "you people are Nuts". is all she will say.

They offered Spurrier the moon.

Maybe RR is the next target...

Chuck Norris once scored 16 TD's in one game. He sat out the second, third, and fourth quarters. But seriously, would anything strike more fear in the hearts of opposing coaches than the iminent threat of a round house kick at the 50 yard line if the opponent won?

A perfectly executed Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick is the preferred form of execution in 9 states....its a fact...you can look it up!

SpeakinBrother, there was no "offer" to darth visor...Lots of internet junk, but no offer from the people who makes the offers. The WVA coach might be headed our way there was a meeting on Tuesday and this was the first meeting for any coach. Coach Bobby P, Got no "offer".

Two hour meeting with Coach Rich and his wife with our AD Mal Moore in New York. "Meeting went well" said Coach RR. No offer as of yet.

90 minutes if you want to get picky...

[Alabama Larry]

90 minutes was what we were told. Bama Fans hope he is still there. I was hoping for maybe Mal crossing the river and speak with Coach Greg Schiano.

[Alabama Larry]

Make a decision with RR in the next 72 hours. Its now Wednesday morning. Its their first attempt at any kind of an Offer or talk with a coach. I still like for them to meet with others including Stevie, Schiano, and Navy's Paul Johnson.

A couple of things.

 

First, it is hard for me to understand Alabama firing Mike Shula without having another coach already in the fold. Maybe that coach is in the fold, but isn't talking. This might be because of the timing with his team being in a big bowl game. I have a hard time believing the deal hasn't already been cut, just not made public knowledge yet.

 

Secondly, mark Steve Spurrier off the list. The lifetime membership to Augusta National is what will keep him at South Carolina. He is not going anywhere! Guaranteed!!!!!!

See other post on CRR, and my wife is still with me thru all of this...What a trooper.

[KY Thorobred]

I don't see Petrino, Saban, Spurrier or Stoops being very interested at all.
