When burning couches in Morgantown isn't enough, you go after the coach’s family and kids. Granted I have always thought that Rodriguez was kind of a shyster, even back in his days at Clemson. Well I think the gamecock club should take some of there dues and hire a mob of WVU fans to come down here to run Uncle Dave out of town, then maybe hire there coach Bob Huggins.
GRANT TOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Relatives of Rich Rodriguez have been harassed and threatened in the three weeks since his resignation as West Virginia football coach.His mother, Arleen Rodriguez, said her teenage grandson received a death threat and found other harassing notes taped to his locker at East Fairmont High School. Arleen said her 12-year-old granddaughter had to be escorted to classes.Mountaineer fans furious over Rodriguez's Dec. 16 decision to accept the coaching job at Michigan also vandalized his home near Morgantown, hanging signs on a fence and tossing a mailbox in the yard."He put seven years into WVU and now everybody thinks he's garbage," his mother said. "Think like a parent. That's all I can say. Think about it. Think about what you're doing."The backlash has been even more venomous on the Facebook social networking site, where dozens of groups with profanity-laced names have formed, devoted to wishing ill for Rodriguez and his family.A similar but short-lived fury boiled up last month against Mountaineer kicker Pat McAfee, who received angry text messages and had his car vandalized after missing two field goals in West Virginia's 13-9 loss to Pitt. The loss knocked WVU out of national championship contention, but the team went on without Rodriguez to beat Oklahoma at the Fiesta Bowl.Several wealthy football boosters claim there was behind-the-scenes tension between Rodriguez and the WVU administration, but the coach has yet to publicly discuss the matter."I don't think he felt wanted at WVU anymore," his mother said.

JR reports spurrier all but hands over the starting job to Garcia... let home he stays healthy...
“Offensively, we haven’t been all that good, either. I’m not picking on anything,” Spurrier said. “We’ve got a kid here now, Stephen Garcia, that can run with the ball. We’re going to have a run-quarterback offense a little bit here and there. I hope Chris Smelley can run a little bit with it. But I’m convinced now that if your quarterback can’t run with it, it’s difficult back there. It’s hard.”
I think we will use the run qb option much like lsu or florida state did this past year. where it is not on everyplay but it is a 10 to 15 times per game. with that said I also think Garcia is the one to beat for the starting job but he has to prove he knows the play book and he also has to overcome smelly's experience.
