I’m going to be honest, I’ve wondered about this decision until I watched this video. No one understands West Virginia football better than a Mountaineer himself. We haven’t been good since he left sooooo…SPOT THE BALL AND HOLD THAT DAMN ROPE!!!!
Need to remember this was about 20 years ago everything totally different now especially with crazy transfer portal where from year to year no one has a clue who comes an goes.
Having him back will be good for our recruiting and bringing back money and the attention Pat and Pac-Man will now bring to WVU. Smart move, no more of the nice guy Neal Brown types
I think the silent majority is fine with it. Just the few that do not approve of it are being very vocal. I am super pumped to have a proven winner back!
But there were other candidates out there much more qualified but money talks and there are some major influencers that made sure Rich Rude got the job. Apparently he’s had the job since Neal was fired. And if so, why was it just announced. Because they were calculating how much money they are going to lose by bringing him back.
I get it. The scab is still there for some. It may not work. But at least we won't say, "I wonder what would've happened if we would have hired Richrod back. We are here. Let's go!
No one ever wants West Virginia. That’s why we are a different breed. We are a bunch of nobody’s that will punch you in the mouth every play regardless of if we are less talented. You are going to be sore as fuck after playing us. We might not win but we play like we live.
Interview doesn’t mean I will take the job if he was their first choice he would have been announced before signing day he wanted the job the others who were interviewed probably turned them down once they saw the dearth of NIL remember what Brown said to Hoppy it was the best defensive backfield we could afford
@@edwardknight8577it’s a culture move, cause WVU is a culture program. Don’t need no big wig snake oil salesman coming in with no commitment to this state!
In the new world order of NIL where NCAA is the NFL and recruiting is nowhere close to a level playing field (not that it ever truly was, but it's DEFINITELY not now), can he be successful again? I hope so but you have to have a ton of money to recruit 5 star talent now
The fight is back, the fight to win, the fight to execute , the fight to defeat the other guy. the fight to get what is yours!!! The Fight!!!! and he said " You ain't backing down from any body!!"
This is a disappointing hire for a litany of legitimate reasons (not just old grudges). It cuts deep. His record and reputation do not hold under scrutiny. But I am just one man offering his opinion. I could be wrong, I hope I am wrong and this is a redemption story because that’s what would be best for our program and the young men playing here. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Let’s Go Mountaineers.
you and others are fuking idiots who tf u want kirby smart nick saban lol....look at all the coaches who stayed at their previous we lack the resources to really get a high level coach we dont have the money retard and in rich rod we trust its been 17 years move tf on !!!

Neal Brown would make an excellent head coach for Jax State.

I know a lot of the fan base hates this move but lets be honest it hasn't been that great since he's been gone.

No more getting smacked in the mouth at home and not hitting back. We've been lacking that for years
SPOT THE BALL!!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!
Welcome back coach !!👍
Letttttsssss goooooo ima go burn my couch 😂😂😂
Welcome back coach and welcome back hard-edge!
Hurry up and spot the ball already let’s goooooooooo!
Want to be mad, but am actually excited.
Go get 'em, Rich Rod.
Welcome home brother lets go
West Virginia football
As long as he's put the scandals behind him, I'm ready to give him a second chance.
A leopard never changes its spots.
Spot the ball
I get it. The scab is still there for some. It may not work. But at least we won't say, "I wonder what would've happened if we would have hired Richrod back. We are here. Let's go!
Let's Fn Goooo! Let's Go Mountaineers!!
Welcome back coach!
This hire makes me ponder the thought no one else wanted the job

I don't think so at all. Several people interviewed, apparently. The boosters just want to win again, something Rich actually did while he was here.

@@NoName-du1qf you are absolutely crazy if you think no one else wanted a head coaching job at WVU.
Let’s Goooo!
Still not sure how to feel, but this hype video is def helping.
Okay I’ll tolerate the return. This video is sick

Hold the rope
Play like your hair is on fire
Welcome home Coach
I will be happy an forgive if he changes that scared lay back joke not enough QB pressure DB to far off the receiver zone defense.
Rod, we are so happy to have you back. You owe us a natty, now go get us one!
Haven’t been this excited for Mountaineer football in a long time. Can’t wait. Spot that damn ball!
Let's put the past behind us. Spot the ball. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO 💛💙
Watched this 20 times already
To all the people who have a problem with this hire.... You'll all shut up if he starts racking up wins. Let's go. Glad the clown brown era is over.
Wins not the end all to me. Our character and reputation is much more important.
The fight is back, the fight to win, the fight to execute , the fight to defeat the other guy. the fight to get what is yours!!! The Fight!!!! and he said " You ain't backing down from any body!!"
About time, let's go!!!
It like getting back together with your cheating Ex. Bet it ends in disaster...F Rich Rod and Gordon Gee
GFY

At the very least basketball is doing well so if this hire ends up going bad i can just wait until November or so.
agreed 👍🏼.
Way to look on the bright side.
Fingers crossed we can enjoy football too eventually, not wishing any ill-will towards anyone.
Boo hoo u winy azz crybaby ..Learn to read and research on why he truly left !!
Let's Fn goooo!😅
Who is coaching the bowl game
Chad scott OC and rb coach
I am afraid this is going to be a dumpster fire.
This could be the greatest thing ever; or the worst 😂
I agree with you
This is a bad choice
@@joeradano1776 I agree with you
@@joeradano1776 go root for Marshall then. 🤡
you and others are fuking idiots who tf u want kirby smart nick saban lol....look at all the coaches who stayed at their previous we lack the resources to really get a high level coach we dont have the money retard and in rich rod we trust its been 17 years move tf on !!!
Shut your mouth!
An ex is an ex for a reason. This is a terrible decision. Chasing the money while giving us a low class coach is sickening. We are better than this.
Grasping for straws at this point our program is a wash 😅
U and so many other uneducated fair weather clowns no one else really wanted the job dummy because of the lack of resources
Then go cheer for Marshall in the small irrelevant schools nobody cares about belt.
@JakeT304 yeah cheer for a coach that betrayed everyone in our state and our mountaineers get real
@@zachpauley3871 someone who isnt educated on what truly happen....
@@zachpauley3871 How about you get lost? Ya know, since the program is a wash and all?
