On our board, rumors are rampent that he is "getting the band back together." DC Jeff Casteel, OC Calvin McGee, and Tony Gibson both at Pitt.

I like the hire. I've always been a fan of Rich Rod. He didnt do as well as thought at Michigan but this is a fresh start and I think it will do a good job.

He may do at Zona what he did at WVU. He started with nothing and came within a loss to a 4-8 Pitt team of playing for a national title.

That's a great hire.
