Rich Rodriguez on Patience in Rebuilding WVU Football Program

The college football world was recently shaken up by Penn State's decision to fire head coach James Franklin after a 3-3 start.

The Nittany Lions had been ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press preseason poll following a semifinal finish in the College Football Playoffs last year.

Despite winning 10 games in his past three seasons, Franklin was let go, with Penn State paying a reported $50 million buyout.

According to Rich Rodriguez, there's a lack of patience in college football now, with administrations not waiting until the end of the season to let go of a coach.

Multiple head coaches, including Rodriguez, have spoken out about the news, putting the rest of the FBS on notice.
