People aren't allowed to have fun I guess

jddebacker.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dur. Don’t come to WV to have fun as a college student. Come to lose to teams that have fun!

Yo Rich, this generation of athletes and social media… you better be glad they are not live-streaming behind your back… yet!!!

A great way to motivate your players is to decrease the amount of fun they're having. Job well done.

Why does WVU like to recycle coaches? First, Bob Huggins and now Rich Rodriguez.

West Virginia High School?

Insecure racist says what?

Anti-TikTok but Pro-Edging is a hellova stance.

needfulwords.bsky.social•7 days ago

So he’s a douche

giancarlov.bsky.social•7 days ago

Imagine blaming TikTok for sucking at your job.

And here I was thinking happy players perform better.

Oh god we’ve landed in footloose

Michigan and Arizona are my teams, so I had to suffer this guy twice.

“The TikTok" 😅

Dancing bans have never played out well. No matter the time or context

anotherrube.bsky.social•7 days ago

Footloose but with RichRod @sickoscommittee.org

akjonesberry.bsky.social•7 days ago

More reasons to play for another team 🙄 let’s recruit black American players so we actually have a chance to win, but then ban them from one of the things they really enjoy doing #Blackculture 👎🏽#CoachOfTheYear

mprohan.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s almost like over two dozen players from last year hit the portal for a reason…

hooks2013.bsky.social•7 days ago

bluemadness.bsky.social•7 days ago

As a Michigan fan, I recommend more practice

jeffhobbs.bsky.social•7 days ago

If players dancing on Tik Tok is the difference between winning and losing games, then you've failed as a head coach

theathletic.bsky.social•7 days ago

So you think you can dance?

Not in West Virginia’s locker room.

What an easy way for the west Virgina AD to find out that your coach is out of touch with players. Prob time to move on.

pipsdontsqueak.bsky.social•7 days ago

If I remember Footloose correctly, pretty soon the safeties coach is going to be burning playbooks he disagrees with.

b-sweat.bsky.social•7 days ago

What in the NIL is he yapping about? They chasing the bag bucko

darthandrew.bsky.social•7 days ago

So him cheating on his wife and getting fired from Arizona for sexual harassment is ok, but kids dancing isn’t? 🤔

Gotta love the Simpsons...🤗

Yet another football coach demonstrating how revering football coaches has warped “leadership” in this country.

mrplowthatsmyname.bsky.social•7 days ago

What a clown. Punish your players for having fun! Your players may obey you, but they won’t respect you. And eventually they’ll dance their way through the portal. Good luck.

When Bill Belichick isn’t the stodgiest coach in college football.
