Rodriguez has some assistantships interspersed with his head coaching experience. He was OC in '97 and '98 at Tulane under Tommy Bowden. When Bowden left for Clemson, Coach Rod went with him as OC, but only, I think, after he was passed over for the Tulane head coaching job. Chris Scelfo, who was also Bowden assistant at Tulane, got the job, probably because he's a Louisiana boy. Tulane's loss was WVA's gain.
