Rodriguez leaving for Michigan (1:47 pm)
Dave Hickman, Staff writer
The Rich Rodriguez era at West Virginia ended early Sunday afternoon, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
In an early afternoon meeting with his football team, Rodriguez announced he was leaving to become the head coach at Michigan.
Rodriguez walked into a scheduled 1:30 p.m. meeting with his team and emerged 10 minutes later without comment and walked briskly back to his office. Shortly thereafter the players began to file out of the meeting room, somber-faced and generally without comment.
Rodriguez reportedly met with Michigan officials this past Friday in Toledo, Ohio.

Terrell Pryor was one of the first to be informed of Rod's decision. His quote was "Add Michigan to my list." Rod's stop at WVU was certainly not due to any loyalty and was just a stepping stone for his quest to be football god.
If you think you are gonna miss Rod, remember the last 4 years. Three of them were November/December reg. season disappointments. 2004: Favored WVU loses to BC in the 2nd to last weekend of the season to seemingly lose a shot at winning the Big East. However, BC is upset the very next week and all we must do is beat Pitt in the last game to win the Big East and we come up short again. Last year all that was standing between us and the Big East title was South Florida. But the heavy underdog outcoached Rod for the first time prior to this year and ended our Big East title hopes.
Does anyone at Michigan realize that Ohio State is on the schedule at the end of the year every season?
