Alright Joe...

Let's see...who would be the first person you would talk to about what happened at WVU? Ed Pastilong? Mike Garrison? The million football analysts as ESPN, CBS, Fox and the likes? Nah, the first person to talk to is obviously Governor Joe Manchin.

Manchin took time for him "busy" schedule running the state to blast college football and Rich Rodriguez saying Rodriguez is a "victim of a college coaching system driven by high-priced agents that has turned those dreams into just another back-room business deal." Manchin went on to commend Ed Pastilong and Mike Garrison for their work and that he trusts them "and the WVU Board of Governors completely with the coaching search that now lies ahead.

As far as I'm concerned, Manchin should keep his opinions to himself. He's the governor of a state, not the overseer of college football for West Virginia. He forced himself in the West Virginia/Marshall conversations and forced West Virginia to play in a "Friends of Coal" Bowl. He's interjected himself in several situations that have nothing to do with the State of West Virginia just to keep himself in the public eye. If he's so concerned about the state of college football and the West Virginia coaching search, maybe he should appoint himself to the position since it appears RCB isn't going anywhere soon...
