Rumor: WVU’s new head coach will be John “Doc” Holliday according to the very reliable sources over at BGN.
I’m not sure this is the best choice but I’ll give him the benefit doubt and as always I’ll support my team. Apparently we got him 1/2 off what we were paying coach Rod. It seems the [...]

JWilson sent me this today. Although I personally don’t think this situation is all Rods fault, this shit is funny.

I have been so obsessed with the coaching situation at WVU that I’ve been slow to post the first in a series of Q and A’s with Matt over at The Sooner Schooner. We are interrogating the enemy so to speak to get a better idea of who we are facing in the Fiesta Bowl. [...]

The saga continues. It now seems that Rich Rod’s demands weren’t as big or “crazy” as have been reported. Check out this article from the Post Gazette in Pittsburgh.
The donors seem pissed, and I don’t blame them (if this is true).

Twas the week before Christmas,
In the Land of the Eer’s.
WVU fans were angry,
And some were in tears.

To each WVU fan.
Rich Rod was the coach,
Of their football team.
He had helped them to reach,
For the championship dream.
They believed in his wisdom,
And trusted him too.
He was [...]

My rock-star buddy alerted me to this article over at West By God Virginia.com.
Nick Saban’s Agent contacts WVU
I don’t know what to think about this. Initially, it sounds good for recruiting… but how long would Saban stay at WVU? What about the first time it’s 10 below zero… or someone breathes in the wrong direction… [...]
