Rich Rodriguez - 2001-07

Rich Rodriguez’s exciting brand of offense that capitalized on the immense talents of Pat White, Steve Slaton and Owen Schmitt led the Mountaineers to three straight Top 10 rankings in the mid-2000s and acclaim as one of the top grid strategists in the country. Rodriguez was the first coach in school history to win a major bowl game (2006 Sugar) and his 2007 squad came up one win shy of reaching the 2008 national championship game. Rodriguez’s 60 wins in just seven seasons are third only to Don Nehlen and Dana Holgorsen in school history.
