A prediction in regard to the ACC Football, that coach at West Virginia is going to be Bobby Bowden's replacement at FSU when Bowden retires. He worked for Tommy Bowden at Sanford and at Tulane, and Bobby knows him very well ( Bobby Bowden was the head coach at WV before taking the job at FSU.)

Rick Rodriques is one talented football coach with excellent recruiting skills. We have all believed that Mark Richt would be the heir apparent, with Chuck Amato as as possible second choice. With Richt and Rodriques going head to head at the Sugar Bowl this year, the decision as to whom would be pursued is obvious. Plus, contractual agreements with Rodriques at WV are not as sturdy as Richt's arrangements at UGA - easier negotiations, less buy out needed, better coach.

Not that this is going to happen, but it could - Bobby Bowden beats Joe Paterno in the Bowl Game tonight, and then he steps aside and turns the wheel over to Rodriques. Beating Penn State is no simple task and FSU may get their tomohawks handed to 'em, plus neither Bobby or Joe seem to be willing to give up the race for most games won - they both may end up dropping dead on the sideline before they quit coaching.

Don't ya' love it when "any team" takes UGA to the wire and wins. Pay back for all those years when Vince did it to us and everyother team they played!!! That was a great football game and WV has some awesome athletes on that team. Sorry Dawgies, it's your turn to feel the pain.
 
interesting prediction, we'll see what happens. WV's coach is great though, gets his team fired up and he's got some fire in him. Looks like the kind of coach who has to do everything he can not to make the tackle himself when its a sideline play.

I think Richt is heading to Miami when its all said and done anyways, and I seriously doubt we'll see Bowden stepping down after a 9-4 season, but who knows, stranger things have happened.
 
When asked about what made him decide to go for that fake punt late in the game, ESPN reported that Rodriguez replied "my long term contract"!

Wow a classic, up there with Jim McMahon response to the question "What was the best thing you got from BYU", "out" he replied.

Rich is a West Virginia grad...lives one hour from where he grew up...and is surrounded by family in WV.

Unless the Big East is folding in football...I do not see him ever leaving.
 
Maybe the Acc will pick them up when Ga. Tech rejoins the sec. Just kidding. (sort of) I hate the acc.
