Edit: He has been fired. See posts below.

He’s out. They should release all the commits that signed in December, crappy deal for those kids.

That should make it easier for us to flip Jamarye Joiner, the quarterback commit to Arizona that we offered recently.

We are also after another 4 star qb

One looks more like a QB for Frost's offense than the other IMO...

Strange timing

 

[TwinsRRUs]

Time to poach a couple unsigned commits from Arizona's class...

 

[huskerfan1414]

Hostile workplace?

...University of Arizona and our athletics department to go in a new direction,” Athletic director Dave Heeke said in a statement.

Scandals just follow this guy. Trouble at West Virginia, a lot the players hated him at Michigan, and now this. Me thinks Rich Rod has some issues.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

Maybe Khalil Tate would want to come to Nebraska...

He is going to be special.

How many did they sign? Do they have any options or are they stuck?

 

[Bugeater]

Rich Rod was all the rage at WV, took the Michigan job and it's all been downhill ever since. Well, except he's worth a boatload of $ now. N

[Redblood23]

Very interesting timing.. As long as they don't try and take any of our coaches.

Signed 16, I imagine they are stuck.

If you were to ask me I would say Arizona entered into the contracts in bad faith

Already special and would thrive in Frost system IF oline gets fixed. A Tommie Frazier type. Powerful runner, average passer.

The problem with him as a coach is that he stumbled on to something, eventually exploited college football with it and once it was the norm and others improved it's use he was nothing more than an ordinary coach again. Doesn't hurt to have Pat White, Steve Slaton or Woody Dantzler though..

Whoever takes over that job as head coach or offensive coordinator is going to be very excited...

 

[cubsker]

those two would do well there. i thought sumlin was an asu possibility.

 

[cubsker]

other name somebody mentioned was kiffin. I'd love to see it.

What a scum bag.

Guy went from having it all at WVU to probably never landing a HC job again.

That said, I love how his "accuser" got migraines over spreading her legs and probably getting bent over his desk. Wonder how much U of A will gift her.

[Husker.Wed.]

Perhaps they should look for an older, seasoned coach whose morals are beyond reproach, demeanor is kindly and gracious, and who is looking for one last big adventure.

 

[8675309husker]

Hahahahahaha guy above me!!

Bo Pelini is ready.

Bo Pelini is ready.

That's so wrong dude, what did Zona do to you?

Did you even read the article you posted?

 

[huskerfan1414]

I guess we need more details about what is warranting a 7.5 million dollar lawsuit.
Yeah what he did was wrong but wtf? Cal you at late hours to change his travel plans calls for 7.5 mil.??

 

[inWV]

No true insider info here, but based on what I've heard here in WV, I am not surprised. RichRod likes the ladies.

 

[Pitt State]

It will be interesting to see who wants the job. Slim pickings on coaches.

 

[Yolobomb]

What is the world coming to when you cant even bang your secretary anymore?

Yes he was all the rage at WV. I seem to recall Alabama trying to get him before landing Saban, but RichRod decided to stay at WV one more year before going to Michigan. Too bad for the rest of CFB that Alabama dodged a bullet on that one.

That's what local media here thought, too. That was before Ray Anderson spoke and threw a giant curveball.

Crazy Herm already took the job just up the road - or did you mean some other kindly oldster?

 

[GretnaShawn]

I think they are going to try and compete with Arizona State and go after a mediocre retired NFL coach that is in broadcasting. Welcome Steve Mariucci!
