Rich Rodriguez
He is the Head Football Coach at the University of Arizona; He was named Big East Coach of the Year in 2003 & 2005
Rodriguez began his head coaching career at Salem University in 1988, followed by a successful stint at Glenville State College from 1990 to 1996. However, it was at West Virginia University where he truly made his mark, leading the Mountaineers to multiple Big East Conference titles and national prominence. His tenure at West Virginia from 2001 to 2007 was highlighted by a 60-26 record, including several top-10 finishes and bowl victories. His success at West Virginia earned him a high-profile move to the University of Michigan in 2008, where he sought to bring his offensive philosophy to one of college football's most storied programs.
Rodriguez's time at Michigan, however, was met with mixed results. Despite implementing his spread-option offense, the Wolverines struggled to find consistent success, and Rodriguez's tenure ended after three seasons with a 15-22 record. He later found redemption at the University of Arizona, where he served as head coach from 2012 to 2017. During his time in Tucson, Rodriguez led the Wildcats to a Pac-12 South Division title in 2014 and a Fiesta Bowl appearance, further solidifying his reputation as a coach capable of turning around programs.
In 2022, Rodriguez took on the role of head coach at Jacksonville State University, continuing his long and storied career in college football. With a career head coaching record of 181-125-2, Rodriguez remains a respected figure in the sport, known for his offensive innovation and ability to develop competitive teams. His influence on the game, particularly in the evolution of offensive schemes, has left a lasting impact on college football.
