Carrera de juego
Oriundo de Grant Town, West Virginia , [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Rodríguez se graduó de North Marion High School en 1981, donde jugó cuatro deportes y fue un jugador de fútbol y baloncesto de todo el estado . Después de la secundaria, Rodríguez asistió a la Universidad de West Virginia . Jugando como back defensivo , registró 54 tacleadas en su carrera durante tres temporadas.
Carrera de entrenador
Comenzando en coaching (West Virginia y Salem)
Durante la temporada de 1985, Rodríguez se desempeñó como asistente estudiantil bajo el entrenador en jefe Don Nehlen y se graduó con un título en Educación Física. En 1986, fue contratado por Salem College (ahora Universidad Internacional de Salem ) donde se desempeñó como coordinador de equipos especiales y entrenador de secundaria. En 1987, se convirtió en el coordinador defensivo de Salem y en 1988 asumió el cargo de entrenador en jefe . A los 25 años, era el entrenador en jefe universitario más joven del país. Tenía 2-8 en su primera temporada como entrenador en jefe, después de lo cual la universidad anunció que abandonaría su programa de fútbol.
En 1989, regresó a la Universidad de West Virginia como asistente voluntario.
Estado de Glenville, Tulane y Clemson
Después del regreso de Rodríguez a WVU como entrenador voluntario con los apoyadores externos para la temporada de fútbol de 1989, se fue nuevamente para asumir el cargo de entrenador en jefe en Glenville State College . Durante su estadía de 1990 a 1996, el equipo ganó tres campeonatos consecutivos de la Conferencia Atlética Intercolegial de Virginia Occidental y compitió en el campeonato nacional NAIA de 1993 . Su primera temporada, 1990, llevó al equipo a un récord de 1-7 -–. En 1991, Glenville mejoró a 4-5-1. 1992 mostró una temporada 6-4; sin embargo, en 1993, Rodríguez llevó a Glenville a un récord de 10-3 y al Campeonato WVIAC y al subcampeón de la NAIA . Los siguientes dos años, 1994 y 1995, Glenville terminó como Co-Campeones de WVIAC. En la última temporada de Rodríguez en Glenville, 1996, los llevó a un Co-campeonato una vez más. Mientras estaba en Glenville, Rodríguez compiló un récord de 43-28-2 y fue nombrado Entrenador del año de WVIAC en 1993 y 1994, Entrenador nacional del año de NAIA en 1993 y Entrenador del año de West Virginia State College en 1993 Asociación de escritores deportivos de Virginia. Los cuatro campeonatos de Glenville State bajo la dirección de Rodríguez fueron los primeros desde 1959, mientras que sus jugadores establecieron cinco récords nacionales de carrera para la División II. También entrenó a tres jugadores que obtuvieron los honores de Jugador del Año de WVIAC.
Rodríguez dejó Glenville State al final de la temporada de 1996 para servir como entrenador asistente, coordinador ofensivo y entrenador de mariscales de campo de la Universidad de Tulane de 1997 a 1998, bajo la dirección del entrenador en jefe Tommy Bowden . Rodríguez conocía al padre de Bowden, Bobby Bowden , porque había trabajado en sus campamentos durante los veranos. En el primer año de Rodríguez como coordinador ofensivo, su innovadora ofensiva tuvo éxito cuando Tulane tuvo marca de 7-4 y tuvo su mejor temporada desde 1980. [7] Rodríguez fue parte del éxito de Tulane, incluida su temporada 12-0 en la última temporada de Rodríguez en Tulane, principalmente para su ofensiva extendida con el mariscal de campo Shaun King . Cuando Bowden fue contratado como entrenador en jefe en la Universidad de Clemson , mantuvo a Rodríguez en su personal. Rodríguez se desempeñó como coordinador ofensivo y entrenador en jefe asociado hasta el final de la temporada 2000, viajando a un Peach Bowl y Gator Bowl . Rodríguez fue considerado el favorito para el puesto de entrenador de Tulane luego de la partida de Bowden y se le hizo creer que iba a ser el próximo entrenador de Tulane. Sin embargo, Chris Scelfo fue contratado en su lugar. [8]
En 1999, Rodríguez se entrevistó para el puesto de entrenador en jefe en Texas Tech, pero perdió ante Mike Leach . [9] [10]
Virginia del Oeste
El 26 de noviembre de 2000, el departamento de atletismo de WVU anunció que Rodríguez volvería de nuevo a West Virginia, esta vez como entrenador en jefe para reemplazar al retirado Don Nehlen . La primera temporada de Rodríguez en West Virginia, 2001, fue una decepcionante temporada 3-8. Sin embargo, el cambio de rumbo de Rodríguez del equipo de 2002 es el mayor cambio en la historia de Big East con un récord de 9–4, [ cita requerida ] final en el segundo lugar de Big East, victorias consecutivas como visitantes contra la clasificada Virginia Tech y Pitt y un puesto en el Continental Tire Bowl , donde perdieron ante el subcampeón de ACC, Virginia . Los Mountaineers terminaron segundos en la nación por tierra con 283 yardas por juego y cuartos en margen de rotación. En 2003, los Mountaineers comenzaron la temporada 1-4, y después de perder ante el # 2 Miami 22-20, los Mountaineers registraron un récord de 6-1 Big East y empataron en el campeonato Big East con Miami, ganando un lugar en el Gator Bowl . Esa temporada, los Mountaineers reemplazaron a 22 seniors, once de los cuales fueron titulares. En 2004, los Mountaineers registraron un récord de 8–4 con un talentoso equipo de seniors y juniors, pero llegaron al sexto lugar durante la temporada regular.
Después de la temporada 2002, Sporting News le otorgó a Rodríguez el premio al Entrenador del Año de Big East y la Asociación de Escritores de Deportes de West Virginia le otorgó el premio al Entrenador del Año de la universidad estatal para todos los deportes. También recibió el premio Frank Loria 2003 del capítulo de West Virginia de la National Football Foundation , y también ganó el premio al Entrenador del Año de Big East esa temporada. En 2005, se le ofreció unirse a la Junta Directiva de AFCA , y esa misma temporada recibió nuevamente los honores de Entrenador del Año de Big East. En 2005, Rodríguez y los Mountaineers ganaron el título de Big East con los novatos Steve Slaton y Patrick White , reclamando así el lugar automático de la conferencia en el Bowl Championship Series (BCS), donde derrotaron a los Georgia Bulldogs en el Nokia Sugar Bowl y en una final. Associated Press ocupa el quinto lugar, empatando el más alto en la historia de la escuela (otro en 1988).
Repitiendo su éxito en 2005, West Virginia registró otra temporada de 11 victorias, que fue la primera temporada consecutiva de 10 victorias en la historia de la escuela. Los Mountaineers derrotaron a Georgia Tech , 38-35, en el Gator Bowl y terminaron décimo en las encuestas finales. Rodríguez también tuvo dos All-Americans de consenso, el corredor Steve Slaton y el centro Dan Mozes (quien también ganó el Trofeo Rimington como el mejor centro de la nación).
El 7 de diciembre de 2006, Rodríguez recibió una oferta de la Universidad de Alabama para ser el próximo entrenador en jefe de Alabama Crimson Tide . A pesar de los informes de que había accedido en principio a entrenar en Alabama, [11] que Rodríguez describió como totalmente incorrecto, [12] [13] el 8 de diciembre de 2006, Rodríguez anunció que permanecería como entrenador en jefe en West Virginia. [14]
The Mountaineers started the 2007 season ranked #3 in the AP Poll and #6 in the Coaches' Poll. They were #5 in the nation, before losing to #18 South Florida for the second consecutive time. South Florida eventually moved to #2, before dropping out of the Top 25 after losses (though USF would end the regular season ranked at #21). West Virginia dropped to #12 and #13 in the AP and Coaches' poll, respectively, before rebounding with wins against Syracuse, Mississippi State, #25 Rutgers, Louisville, and #21 Cincinnati. The Mountaineers eventually defeated #20 Connecticut to clinch the Big East Championship and move to #2 in the BCS standings and #1 in the Coaches' poll, both the highest position ever for a Mountaineer football team. WVU's regular season ended at home with a loss in the Backyard Brawl against Pittsburgh, 13-9. After the departure of Rodriguez, the Mountaineers went on to defeat University of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl under interim head coach Bill Stewart.
Departure from West Virginia
On December 16, 2007, Rodriguez informed players at West Virginia that he was leaving to succeed Lloyd Carr as the University of Michigan head football coach.[15] Rodriguez's earlier loss to the unranked Pittsburgh Panthers eliminated WVU from national championship contention.[16] Rodriguez's original resignation letter listed January 3, 2008 as his resignation date, but he subsequently made it clear that he would not be coaching WVU in its January 2 appearance in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl versus Oklahoma. On December 18, 2007, Rodriguez informed the university that his resignation would instead be effective at midnight that night[17] and was replaced by his former assistant coach Bill Stewart, who was selected as head coach after the Mountaineers won the Fiesta Bowl.[18]
The announcement of his departure came just four months after Rodriguez last renegotiated his contract with West Virginia and was made despite his stated long-term commitment to the Mountaineers. The contract included a $4 million buyout if he left WVU within one year of the August 2007 signing date. It has since been speculated that Rodriguez's departure was triggered by conflicts with the new president of WVU, Michael Garrison.[19][20] Some insight into the discontent between Rodriguez and WVU is evidenced in a compendium of emails that were released to the Associated Press on January 23, 2008.[21] An Associated Press story indicated that Rodriguez's agent Mike Brown was threatening to take his client elsewhere early in the 2007 season.[22]
On December 27, 2007, West Virginia University filed a motion for declaratory judgment in Monongalia County Circuit Court, asking the court to find that Rodriguez's contract with the University was valid, that WVU had not breached that contract, and that Rodriguez had breached it. Subsequently, on January 18, 2008, WVU added a count of breach of contract after Rodriguez allegedly failed to pay the first installment of the $4 million liquidated damages clause (often referred to as a "buyout clause" by the media) when due.[23][24][21][25]
On July 9, 2008 Rodriguez and WVU agreed to settle the lawsuit. The terms of the settlement stated that the University of Michigan would pay $2.5 million of the settlement. Rodriguez was required to pay WVU the remaining $1.5 million in three installments of $500,000 each, spread over three years starting in January 2010.[26]
An opinion poll in September 2013 by Public Policy Polling found that 47% of West Virginia voters still had an unfavorable opinion of him, with only 11% seeing him favorably.[27]
Michigan
Rodriguez was introduced by Michigan as its new coach at a news conference held on December 17, 2007 at the Junge Family Champions Center on the University of Michigan campus. After arriving at Michigan, Rodriguez installed a new staff. He brought several members of his West Virginia staff with him, including Tony Gibson and offensive coordinator Calvin Magee. Fred Jackson, the running backs coach, was the only coaching holdover from Lloyd Carr's staff. Rodriguez also changed the strength and conditioning facilities, completed a top ten incoming recruiting class in 2008 (which was recruited mainly by Carr and his staff), and installed his own recruiting to serve his spread offense.[15] Equipment manager Jon Falk also stayed with the Michigan football program; he had been with Michigan since the days of Bo Schembechler.
Rodriguez began his Michigan coaching career on August 30, 2008 with a 25–23 loss to Utah. His 2008 team finished with a record of 3–9, the worst season in school history.[28] Michigan's losing record meant that the team did not play in a post-season bowl game for the first time in 33 years, the longest such streak in college football up to that point. One of the few high points of the season came on September 27 when Michigan made the second-largest comeback in program history to defeat #9 Wisconsin 27–25 after trailing 19–0 late in the third quarter. That contest was also the 500th game played in Michigan Stadium.
Players leaving and criticism
Several Michigan players transferred and subsequently criticized Rodriguez. Justin Boren transferred from the program to rival Ohio State citing offensive behavior and a "lack of family values" from the coaching staff.[29][30][31][32] Boren became first team all Big Ten at Ohio State University in the 2009 season.[33] Others have supported the assertion about a lack of family values, including Detroit Free Press writer Michael Rosenberg, who stated "Rodriguez's staff uses some of the foulest, most degrading language imaginable. I know coaches curse, and I'm no prude, but this goes way beyond a few dirty words. This is a big part of why offensive lineman Justin Boren left the team. He felt his dignity was at stake."[34] Former Michigan player Kurt Wermers claimed to not get along with coaches after transferring following the 2008 season to Ball State University, but he was, in fact, academically ineligible at the time of his transfer, calling into question the credibility of his claim.[35]
NCAA rule violations
Prior to the 2009 season several anonymous players told journalists (including Rosenberg) at the Detroit Free Press that Rodriguez and his coaching staff had habitually violated NCAA rules. The alleged offenses included attending unofficial scrimmages and requiring players to work out more hours than NCAA rules permit for the off-season. Rodriguez denied the allegations.[36] On October 27, 2009, the NCAA sent a Notice of Inquiry to the University of Michigan stating the NCAA found reasonably reliable information indicating NCAA rule violations.[37] Following the Notice, the investigation into potential major violations continued. On November 16, 2009, the University of Michigan Auditors looking into the NCAA violations discovered that University of Michigan Athletic Department staff failed to file monthly logs that track how much players work out and practice.[38][39]
Then on February 22, 2010, the NCAA formally accused Michigan of five "major rules violations" after finding that the team and its coaching staff failed to comply with practice time rules under coach Rich Rodriguez, and used several graduate assistants in coaching position in contravention of NCAA regulations on the limits of the number of coaches.[40] This marked the first time that major violations have been alleged against the Michigan football program. All of the violations dated from January 2008 forward, which coincided with Rodriguez's arrival at Michigan. The University of Michigan has acknowledged that it committed four major violations in its football program.[41] This resulted in U-M self-imposing sanctions which including cutting practice time and either disciplining or terminating staff, as well as two years probation. The final NCAA report downgraded the list of violations originally investigated, agreed with Michigan's self-imposed sanctions, but added an extra year of probation.[42]
Eventual departure
Despite the setbacks of his inaugural season, Rodriguez compiled a recruiting class for the 2009 season which was ranked eighth nationally by Rivals.com. Tom Dienhart, writing for Sports Illustrated, named Rodriguez the second best football coach in the Big Ten Conference behind only Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and ahead of more tenured coaches such as Penn State's Joe Paterno and Ohio State's Jim Tressel.[43]
Under Rodriguez, the Wolverines opened the 2009 season with a 31–7 win against Western Michigan followed by wins over rival Notre Dame and Eastern Michigan. Following these three victories, two over weak mid-major opponents, Michigan opened its Big Ten schedule with a 36–33 win against Indiana. However, Michigan finished the season with a 5–7 (1–7 in the Big Ten) record after road losses to Michigan State, and the Iowa Hawkeyes and a 25-point home loss to Penn State followed by a 25-point loss to the University of Illinois and a 38–36 loss at home to Purdue. Rodriguez ended the 2009 season with a 21–10 loss to rival Ohio State. This loss eliminated the Wolverines from bowl competition for the second year in a row.
The 2010 season got off to a similar start to the 2009 campaign, with the Wolverines winning their first five games of the season. Michigan started the season off by notching a win over Connecticut, who eventually won a share of the Big East title and went on to represent the conference in a BCS bowl. By week three, the team earned a spot in the AP Top 25 at #20 and USA Today Poll at #22. Their highest AP ranking, #18, came before recording their first loss of the season against 17-ranked in-state foe and eventual Big Ten co-champion Michigan State (part of a three-way tie). The team finished Big Ten play with a 3–5 record, including a 37–7 loss against arch-rival Ohio State. This caused further criticism of Rodriguez, for failing to restore competitiveness to one of college football's greatest rivalries. Still, Michigan had earned a 7–5 record and, for the first time under Rodriguez, were bowl eligible.
The season included such highlights as a spectacular 67–65 comeback win over Illinois in triple overtime on Nov 6 and a special talent in sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson who in 12 games passed for 2,316 yards and rushed for 1,643 yards while accounting for 30 rushing and passing touchdowns. Rodriguez led Michigan to its first New Year's Day bowl since the 2007 season when Michigan accepted a bid to play in the Gator Bowl. However, Michigan's 38-point loss to Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl was the worst bowl loss in school history.[44]
Due to the team's disappointing season after such a promising start, and another loss to Ohio State, Rodriguez finished the regular season campaign amidst speculation that he would not return for the 2011 season. Rumors about Rodriguez's ousting heated up after the season, when Stanford Cardinal head coach and former Michigan quarterback, Jim Harbaugh, did not attend an anniversary dinner recognizing the 1985 Michigan team.[45] Harbaugh had been rumored to replace Rodriguez in seasons past.
At Michigan, Rodriguez suffered a 20-point home loss to a Big Ten opponent in all three seasons he coached (most recently against Wisconsin, a 48–28 loss).[46] In his first two years, Rodriguez had no wins in October against Football Bowl Subdivision teams and did not record a win against such an opponent until the 2010 season, recording a road victory over Indiana.[45] At Michigan, Rodriguez had a 2–7 record against the Wolverines' three regular season rivals: Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan State,[45] recording victories against Notre Dame in the 2009 and 2010 campaigns.
Rodriguez was rumored to be let go as Michigan coach on January 4, 2011. School officials initially denied this, but the following day, athletic director Dave Brandon announced that Rodriguez had been dismissed.[47][48] Rodriguez has the lowest winning percentage (.405) of any coach in Michigan football's history. He also went 0–3 against Ohio State (outscored 100-24) and 0–3 against Michigan State. He oversaw the end of the longest active bowl streak in the NCAA. Recruiting also took a significant downturn during the Rodriguez era which would have an impact for the years following his tenure at Michigan.
Rodriguez worked as an analyst for CBS Sports for most of the 2011 season before being hired to coach at Arizona. He had previously participated in CBS's 2011 Signing Day Coverage. When asked if he regretted moving to Michigan, he said: "I think it's easy to go back now and say, 'Gee, [I] made a mistake.' And you can say that now because of hindsight. But at the time, some of the things I was looking to do and the opportunity that was there, you kind of make the move....but you know hindsight is always easier to look back and say, 'it was a mistake.' Because we did have a good thing going at West Virginia, and we really enjoyed it. As you look back at it, [it] wasn't the best move. Easy to say now." When asked if he would ever return to coaching, Rodriguez said, "I'm open to another opportunity, but we'll see. Here, that window looks like it's closed, but if something comes open after this season, and it seems like it may be a good opportunity for me and someone is interested, I'm sure I'll look into it."[49]
In June 2011, Rodriguez put the family home in York Township, Michigan up for sale for an asking price of $1.9 million.[50][51]
The tumultuous three years with Michigan was chronicled in great detail in Three and Out, written by John U. Bacon. Bacon was given full insider access from the start of the 2008 season all the way through the search for Rodriguez's successor. The book also covers Rich Rodriguez's career before coming to Michigan, including the buyout from West Virginia.
Arizona
Following Rodriguez's tenure at CBS, he was hired as the 30th head coach of the Arizona Wildcats football program on November 21, 2011. His hiring was first announced by University of Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne on Twitter[52] while a press conference officially announcing him as the head coach was held a day later at McKale Center in Tucson.[53] Rodriguez's hiring ended a 41-day search for a head coach which started after Mike Stoops was dismissed after eight seasons as Wildcat head coach.
In Rodriguez's first season at Arizona, the Wildcats finished the season 8–5 with a win over Nevada in the New Mexico Bowl. The season, which included Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey breaking the school single-season records for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, was Rodriguez' first winning debut season and first bowl appearance in a debut season. It also tied Jim Young for the most wins in an Arizona coach's debut season.
The Wildcats posted an 8–5 record in Rodriguez' second season as head coach. The season saw the emergence of star running back Carey and was capped with a victory over Boston College in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl.
In his third year, Rodriguez led the Wildcats to their first 5–0 start and top 10 ranking since 1998 after beating No. 2 Oregon 31–24. He then lost his first game to Southern California and subsequently lost to UCLA. After compiling an 0–2 mark against in-state arch-rival Arizona State his first two years, Rodriguez's Wildcats defeated the Sun Devils, 42–35 in 2014 to win the Pac-12 South Division, the first divisional championship in program history.
The Wildcats advanced to the Pac-12 Football Championship Game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where they were defeated by their conference rivals, the Oregon Ducks, 51–13 (despite winning the regular season match-up).[54] The Wildcats then played in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, the school's third major-bowl appearance, where they faced the Boise State Broncos. Arizona lost the game to Boise State, 38–30. Under Coach Rodriguez, the Wildcats finished the 2014 season with a record of 10–4 (7–2 Pac-12), achieving only the second 10-win regular season in program history; the Wildcats also finished the season ranked #17 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and #19 in the AP Poll.
Rich Rodriguez lost the last game he coached at Arizona to a Jeff Brohm coached Purdue University team 38-35, on December 27, 2017 in the Foster Farms Bowl.
Firing
Rodriguez's former administrative assistant filed a multimillion-dollar claim accusing him of sexually harassing her and creating a hostile work environment for years.[55] Rodriguez was fired on January 2, 2018 after a three-month internal investigation by the Arizona Wildcats.[56][55] He admitted to having an extramarital affair, but denied all allegations of other sexual misconduct.[56] The lawsuit filed by his former administrative assistant was dismissed in September 2019. [57]
Ole Miss
On December 31, 2018, it was announced that Rodriguez accepted the offensive coordinator position at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), joining newly hired defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre (recently fired head coach at Colorado) on the staff of head coach Matt Luke. He received a three-year contract. After Matt Luke was fired in December 2019, new head coach Lane Kiffin did not offer a contract to Rodriguez. [58]
Louisiana-Monroe
On January 12, 2021, it was announced that Rodriguez accepted the Offensive Coordinator at University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Opción de propagación
Rodriguez is considered a pioneer of a no huddle, run-oriented version of the spread offense, although a pass-first version was already being implemented by others.[59][60][61] He first developed this offensive approach at Glenville State and refined it during his stops at Tulane with Shaun King, at Clemson with Woodrow Dantzler, and at West Virginia most notably with dual-threat quarterback Pat White. This strategy features frequent use of the shotgun formation. Rodriguez is also credited for popularizing the zone read play run out of the shotgun formation. Per his recollection, in practice, he noted the quarterback seeing a defender honing in on the running back on a planned handoff, and took the ball himself. When Rodriguez asked why the quarterback changed the play, he responded that he read the defender and choose to run a different play than scripted.
Familia
Rodriguez and his wife, Rita, have two children, Raquel and Rhett.[62] His grandfather is originally from Spain.[63]
