Matt Luke is expected to name former West Virginia, Michigan, and Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez as offensive coordinator, according to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman and many other reports. Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported that the deal is a multi-year deal and that the Rebels held off Utah and Kyle Whittingham for his services.
Source adds that Rodriguez will get a little under $3 million for the entirely of the deal. Ole Miss held off a late push from Utah, which was also interested in Rodriguez. https://t.co/pD9j5M4TJM
