Rod Smith, supposedly will be going to WVA as well.        :'(     :'(

sad that coaches betray teams so easily these days.

At least we know one coach is staying.

That's a big loss for us.  Frey was a great coach for us, as the Sheriff and any other players can attest.  My question is why is he leaving, wonder what he will be paid?

[RMF5630]

Is it a better offer?  If USF didn't step up, you can't blame him.  If I remember correctly, wasn't he one of the lower paid O-line coaches in the Big East.  I wish him well.

great...just perfect timing, too.  rod smith was decent last year, too, so that wouldn't be good either.  i hope this isn't a sign that our progression will level off.

I'm hearing it was a VERY big pay increase.  We should have a full interview up shortly.

I'm also hearing rumors about Rod Smith, but nothing substantial.

Wish both the best.  Hope they enjoy the whoopin we put on them next year

Rod Smith is gone, just heard the news to WVU

[Mama_Bull]

The fact that WVU is coming after our coaching staff means that they think we are doing something right.  I don't like it, but there is nothing we can do about it.  

We will be okay, Leavitt will find the replacements who will mesh with our team and needs.

What worries me is if we were not able to counteroffer to keep them, what sort of talent will be be able to bring in at what we were paying them? Or did we just choose to let them walk?
