Well, we're still waiting. Haven't heard anything yet.
Talks still going on with other coaches. The rumor is that Rodriguez will NOT coach the Gator Bowl, that the press conference will be tomorrow at 1pm, and he will fly via private jet this evening to Tuscaloosa.

I can understand your frustration bgbama. This has gone on too long with a lot of BS speculation along the way. Now, they say RR won't coach the Gator Bowl but not sure if it's because he's coming to UA or if he took Miami's offer. # posted by Anonymous : 7:02 PM
I read and God I can't recall where but I swear it was a news article that Miami asked permission to speak with him and he sent word back to put an offer on the table. # posted by Anonymous : 7:50 PM

TUSCALOOSA — University of Alabama officials and West Virginia’s Rich Rodriguez have reached an agreement in principle for Rodriguez to become the Crimson Tide’s next head football coach, two sources close to the search told The Birmingham News tonight.
After Rodriguez’s representatives negotiated with Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore for most of today, Rodriguez has told Alabama officials he is ready to take the job offer he received this morning.
Sources close to the search said Rodriguez will make over $2 million per year with incentives and will have one of the highest-paid coaching staffs in the Southeastern Conference.
After two weeks of searching for a replacement for coach Mike Shula, who was fired Nov. 26, the only aspect of the process left is for Rodriguez to tell his team he is leaving his home state and alma mater.
Alabama officials are confident Rodriguez will sign his deal Friday morning, sources said, because the two sides have agreed on all economic and non economic issues.
Rodriguez followed his scheduled plans for today, even attending a news conference to publicize the Gator Bowl, which features the Mountaineers (10-2) vs. Georgia Tech (9-4) on Jan. 1 in Jacksonville. A source has told The News that Gator Bowl officials have been warned not to expect Rodriguez to coach in the game.
During today’s Gator Bowl news conference, he limited questions to the bowl game and to West Virginia, but would not guarantee he would coach the Mountaineers in the bowl game.
