Pervnado's Latest Victim - U of AZ Head Coach Rich Rodriguez
2018-01-03
Did I say head coach? Sorry, I meant former head coach!
[BleacherReport] Arizona fired head football coach Rich Rodriguez on Tuesday after the Wildcats finished a 7-6 season.

According to Dan Wolken of USA Today, the school made the official announcement regarding Rodriguez's firing Tuesday evening. Brett McMurphy reported "Arizona has fired Rich Rodriguez in part after sexual harassment allegations against him that the school says could not be substantiated."

Wolken previously reported Tuesday the school was "weighing whether to fire" him and noted "the school also has been dealing with a troubling allegation behind the scenes that led school officials last fall to hire an outside law firm to investigate Rodriguez for potential workplace misconduct."
While he's not a Rick Pitino level dirtbag, the last three places he's left (West Virginia - broke a contract; Michigan - verbally abused his players, and now Arizona) have all been less than on exemplary terms. He's done as a big-time football coach, which means he'll be coaching at my alma mater ( Univ. of New Hampshire) next year...

#2  Sounds like his biggest crime was that disappointing 7-6 season.
