Rodriguez came to the WVU football team in 2001 and flirted with leaving several times before he eventually bolted to Michigan in 2007, after losing to Pitt in the Backyard Brawl. The year, prior he turned down an Alabama offer that now looks like one of the worst decisions anyone could ever make.
But that seems to be the career path for Rodriguez, who is now out of a job. Rodriguez was fired from his post as head coach at Arizona, where he coached for six seasons. The Wildcats were mediocre in his tenure but the reason for his firing doesn’t seem to be related to the on-field results.
