[QUOTE="MD Mountaineer, post: 132898229, member: 1424686"] I'd say RR had more chances than anyone in the working world would get and surprisingly more than anyone in the public eye would get. Don't you remember? He announced he was leaving four months after he renegotiated his contract and "his stated long-term commitment to the Mountaineers." He held already the WVU administration by the balls the year before during the Alabama fiasco and WVU gave him everything he asked for. And you talk about "skin in the game," the fans of WVU, who are not rich by any means, paid higher ticket prices in 2007 to support the team, build new facilities, give him each of his demands, and share in the pride of it all. He lied to the 2 million hardworking people who give a lot to this program. But I've read it wasn't all about the money, Rod's problems were with the administration. It was that Rod could not stand to be told no. I'd say Michigan was very patient, after going 3–9 in 2009, the worst season in school history and breaking a 33 year streak of post-season bowl games appearances. Then the 2009 recruiting violations, the first time the Michigan football program was charged with major violations. He was fired after the 2010 season. He was 0–3 against Ohio State and 0–3 against Michigan State. But Arizona said, 'ol RichRod deserves another chance. That is, until one of his female assistants filed a multimillion-dollar claim accusing him of sexually harassing her and creating a hostile work environment. It's very hard to objectively root for this individual at any level. [/QUOTE]
