WVU Hires Rich Rodriguez as Next Football Head Coach

Director of Athletics, Wren Baker, announced Thursday morning that Rich Rodriguez will become the 36th head coach for West Virginia. Rodriguez, a native West Virginian, is most well-known for his time at WVU from 2001-2007. In that six year tenure at West Virginia, Rodriguez found some of the most success anyone has ever had as the head coach here at WVU. Most notably, an 11-1 2007 season that ended in heartbreak. Falling in the last game of the season prevented the team from reaching the BCS Championship Game. Rodriguez has an overall record of 190-129-2 throughout his 27 years as a head coach. After a highly controversial split from the university, Rodriguez has returned home to finish what he started.

Rodriguez is coming off of a 9-4 season at Jacksonville State where he guided the team to a Conference USA championship and earned coach of the year honors in that conference. Rodriguez is also a former PAC12, and a two time Big East coach of the year. “My family and I are filled with gratitude to lead the Mountaineer football program again and look forward to working with the many supporters, fans, and friends to build the best football program in America! Take Me Home!” said Rodriguez in an opening statement.

Moose on the Loose in Philadelphia! Adrianne Lenker

Welcome to the second edition of Moose on the Loose, U92’s concert recap series! This time, the Moose has already broken the rules of this panel and traveled farther than the greater Morgantown area, instead making his way back to my home in the greater Philadelphia area (go Birds!) to see the beloved folk singer-songwriter Adrianne Lenker.

Lenker is the lead vocalist of the indie folk rock band, Big Thief, which, in large part due to her songwriting, has gained widespread critical acclaim. Additionally, Adrianne Lenker has a solo career that strips back Big Thief’s usual sound for some of the decade’s most memorable acoustic ballads. Her 2020 pandemic double album ‘songs and instrumentals’ has become a fan-favorite, which she has followed up with this year’s ‘Bright Future’ – an album with more folk and country influences recently in U92 rotation.
