    I shook his hand too hard. I mean I really went in and it was strong and kind of a slap-grab-handshake. … So, that was on me. Personally I can get better at the postgame handshake and we'll attempt to do that. I don't think that there's any reason for an apology.

It's the level road and talking to the people. I called a few people who supported the program and gave them the heads-up, but there were so many others who supported the program. ~ Rodriguez on his departure from West Virginia - Rich Rodriguez Edit

  • Rodriguez to ESPN.com on frustrations behind the scenes when he was at Michigan 23

    There was a lot of stuff (at Michigan) that people don't know went on, that we didn't even know was going on — some B.S., some non-football related stuff. It became more about the drama than it did about football, which is the opposite of what you'd think you'd get at Michigan. Had Bo Schembechler been there, I probably wouldn't have had to deal with some of it. We still thought, with all the B.S. that was going on, all the things that were happening — it looked like some people were trying to sabotage their own program that were working for the university — all that stuff we went through, we still thought we'd be OK by the time we went to Year 4 or 5, that we were going to have a chance to compete for championships. But guess what? We didn't get to Year 4, we didn't get to Year 5. That was the most frustrating part about it. ~ Rodriguez to ESPN.com on frustrations behind the scenes when he was at Michigan - Rich Rodriguez Edit

But we're going to fix them, just give us time. It's not going to happen right now. It's not going to happen right now, I wish it would. ~ Rich Rodriguez on the state of the Michigan program after losing to Purdue and dropping to 5-5 - Rich Rodriguez Edit
