What do you admire most about CRR?

[Tide&True]

For me...hands down...it has to be his passion for the game. I can't speak for the rest of you but I want someone on our sidelines who shows some emotion. If there was a picture beside "Head Coach" it would be Rich Rodriguez. I realize that the "X's" and "O's" are important but give me a man who feels wins and loses in his soul....that's the kind of head coach I can ralley around.

 

[bamanut_aj]

nothing, yet, but I do think he runs a great offense. Hopefully he'll have enough sense to leave his defensive staff at home.

 

[JoeWilly12]

that he is actually interested in the job for one.

 

[jdpas29]

i like the fact that he yells at his players and gets all up in their faces during the game... my kinda coach.

 

[Bama Lee]

I don't think that we will have to see any 'deer in the headlights' looks on our TV screens anymore. CRR is very involved in the game.

Does anyone know if he calls his own plays? Does he rely on the OC? Their special teams looked pretty good. I am curious how many of his assistants will come.... also whether he will retain CJK. Of course, it all depends on him accepting the job!

 

[CHATTBRIT]

I like that he adapts his offense based on the players he has. Tulane it was a wide open offense, WVU more run option because of the athletes he had. He would be coming to a program with a full cupboard -- way more than CMS had.

49-24, 3 conference championships, and 4 straight New Year's Day bowl games in 6 years at WVU.

So do I.

 

[Bamafan78]

I want someone who leaves it all on the field. Win or lose, you know he done his best and had the team ready. I know RR would do that.

at WVU

That is also counting the 3-8 year he had his first season there.

Most coaches dont have a great season their first year at a school. I predict his first year at Bama would be at least 6 wins.

 

[paul02085]

He has got to be one of the very top offensive minds in college football. That is huge (especially to a team that thinks 5 fg's is an offensive outbreak).

The other thing is he looks like a guy cannot stand to lose much. I think he will bust his a.. to put a championship quality team on the field and anybody who doesnt like it can take a hike.

I love that attitude.

 

[Braveheart]

IMO, the fact he's got some fire in the belly is a HUGE plus. If a player really messes up (e.g. a stupid personal foul), RR would give that player an earfull. I like that.

 

[BlueGrassBammer]

Intensity... not Orgeron caveman intensity but a real passion for the game.

 

[P. C. Pachyderm]

Does anyone know if he calls his own plays? Does he rely on the OC?

RR calls all of the plays on offense.

 

[XXL TideFan]

I would really admire a couple of NC's in the 10 years or so.

 

[Crimson Cat]

Of what I've seen so far of him it would be his passion and a winning attitude, for the game. I don't know, there just seems something about him that separates him from most of the others in my mind. I just think the guy is a heckofa good coach.

 

[CornBiscuit]

RR calls all of the plays on offense.

Now bring on the complaints...

I like the fact that I think I would be terrified to upset him.

 

[bbqman]

His offenses tend to come away with points each time they enter the "red zone"!
