E48 / RichRod: Retread or Redeemer?


Listen Later

The prodigal play-caller is back.


After a 17 years away, Rich Rodriguez returns to WVU Football — not to reminisce, but to rewrite. With a 9–4 season at Jacksonville State and a headset full of vengeance, he's bringing the Hard Edge back to the Mountain State.


We break down second-stint coaching trends, legacy comparisons, and what RichRod's revenge tour means for the Big 12. From sideline swagger to spread-option resurrection — this episode is laced with data, storytelling, and all the smoke Mountaineer Nation deserves.
