I fully expect Pryor to go to OSU, as I think that's been his destination all along...
but, Coach Rod called Pryor to let him know he was heading to Michigan and Pryor has now added Michigan to his list. We'll see what happens. |

Does Pryor Know something we Don't?
Terrelle Pryor
By Bob Lichtenfels

Posted Dec 16, 2007
The Michigan coaching job has caused a stir around the country. Media views it as a great job, but no one has seized it. Rich Rodriguez has been the latest name to surface and Scout.com thinks we just may have found out whether or not he will take it.
Imagine the surprise of this writer as my cell phone rings ten minutes ago and it is the top player on the East Coast Terrelle Pryor telling me that he may have just unlocked the biggest coaching story of the year.
"Add Michigan to my list," Pryor said.
Michigan, the Wolverines? Of course I had to ask is Rich Rodriguez going there because its the only thing that would draw Pryor to Ann Arbor right now.
"I just spoke to Coach Rodriguez about ten minutes ago and he told me he is going to Michigan," Pryor explained. "He said they made him an offer an he can't refuse it."
So if Pryor is correct the Wolverines have found their man and the Mountaineers have lost the native son who this time last year flirted with Alabama only to stay at home.
Pryor is coming off of a state championship as he helped lead the Jeannette Jayhawks to a 49-21 win over Dumore in the PIAA Class AA Finals. |

Former West Virginia coach Don Nehlen, under whom Rodriguez played and was mentored as a coach, said this is an ideal move for Rodriguez.
"I think it's a great, great, great opportunity for him," said Nehlen, who coached at Michigan under Bo Schembechler from 1977-1979. "I think it's tremendous. There are very few Michigans. When you coach at West Virginia you walk on water in West Virginia, but when you coach at Michigan, you walk on water, period. There's a difference. Some people around here don't want to believe that." |
:rofl: WVU got owned.

So.... Let's ee how WVU does in the next couple of years.... certain people on this site believe them to be a major football program. I have not been convinced of that yet. |

So does this now mean that RR and Pryor will be playing in North Virginia? :) |

IF this gets Pryor to commit to Michigan, this was a good hire. If it doesn't, it's bearly newsworthy. I couldn't care less either way.
Michigan has never really ran a RR type offense. The learning curve is probably going to be a hard one to get. This is a great hire for tOSU! |
