Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. I'm Stuart Mandel, not joined as always by Bruce Feldman.

This is a bit of a different episode. You will hear from Bruce here

in a minute, but he is at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, and we realized we would not be able to

sync up our schedule. So we basically got a three-part episode this week. We'll start with

Bruce's interview with former and now current West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez.

They talk about his return to Morgantown, some revisiting memory lane,

and he's got a lot of guys from that 2007 era coming back with him.

They also talk about the rise of Pat McAfee, who Rich Rod coached way back at West Virginia.

Then I'm joined by Seth Davis, my longtime former colleague, National College Basketball expert.

He and I disagree quite strongly about whether the NCAA

tournament should expand. He is very pro

expansion. I'm very not. And we had been bantering on Twitter about it and we decided we should

just talk about it on the podcast. And then I will come back after that and answer some of your

emails. But first, Rich Rodriguez. All right, Stu, and now without further ado, we're please

be joined by our guests who Stu, as we noted in the last episode, gave high marks to on the

new hire at West Virginia. He is Rich Rodriguez. Thanks for joining us on the Audible today, Coach.

Hey, how are we doing? We're doing good. So, you know, people are

familiar with your story. I mean, you were winning Biggie's championships and you left your

alma mater, West Virginia, after 2007. And now you're back after leading Jacksonville State to a Conference USA Championship.

What's it been like to be back home at the school that you left?

I mean, it's almost 20 years ago now.

Yeah, 17 years.
