Well, I at least think it's fishy that he's taken three jobs. Two of them were pretty bad when he took over. He took both of those bad teams to BCS bowls and top 10 finishes (if they beat Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl). At WV, he finished in the top 10 his last three years, went to BCS bowls twice, and won a total of 32 games in those three years.
He took over Michigan when they were decent and in his second year, their only conference win was a three point home win against Indiana.
I don't think Rich Rod is a miraculous coach, but I do think that when a coach succeeds at two other BCS schools and fails at yours, it is the school that's the problem more than the coach.[/QUOTE]
If I remember correctly after he had already signed the contract and became the HC there was a dispute between he and Michigan about who would pay WVU to buy out his contract. Given this huge breakdown in communication between employer-employee it is no wonder that he did not succeed at Michigan but has been successful everywhere else.
