Rich Rodriguez likely to be next coach at Michigan

Sources have reported that West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez has interviewed for the head coaching position at Michigan today. Rodriguez (44) met with Michigan Athletic Director Bill Martin and University President Mary Sue Coleman in Toledo, OH, seemingly to discuss the opening as Wolverines' head coach. While this may be a ploy by Rodriguez to garner a higher salary with the Mountaineers, indications are that Rodriguez will be accepting the job.

When confronted by the media following his interview, Rodriguez refused to answer to the media, stating that he was headed back to West Virginia to "get ready for practice." As opposed to Les Miles' complete denial of his interest in the position, Rodriguez seems to want to avoid the question. This seems to be an indication that he will accept the job.
