No matter how it turns out, 2025 marks the dawning of a new era for the Mountaineers. After enduring six years of mostly mediocrity under Neal Brown, WVU brought Rodriguez back for a second tenure as he looks to right his past wrongs and lead a once-proud program back to glory.

But before kickoff in the fall, Rodriguez will try to get to his team into shape during the upcoming spring session and then enjoy his first spring game at WVU in almost two decades. Recently, Rodriguez revealed the annual Gold-Blue Game will be held on April 5.

Rodriguez, a West Virginia native, currently holds a 190-128-2 overall coaching record. He experienced most of his success while leading the Mountaineers from 2001-2007. At WVU, Rodriguez won four Big East titles and was named conference Coach of the Year twice. He added a third Coach of the Year honor in the Pac-12 in 2014 with Arizona.

No matter how many games he won and trophies he lifted, Rodriguez’s first WVU tenure was tainted by the way he left – bolting for Michigan following the infamous 13-9 loss to Pitt, a defeat that cost the Mountaineers a trip the BCS National Championship Game.

After his departure from WVU, Rodriguez spent three lackluster years at Michigan and six seasons with Arizona, highlighted by winning 10 games and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl in 2014. Most recently, he led Jacksonville State through a successful transition from FCS to FBS and won the 2024 Conference USA title before leaving to return to West Virginia.
