Do you think Rich Rodriguez has what it takes to win at an SEC School?

Obviously it would need to be one of the powerhouse sec schools but do you think he can do very well at a Georgia, Florida, or an LSU?

Yes, but UF is the only football progressive school that would allow him to do his thing.

It's a good question.

Personally, I don't think so. I don't think he could handle the pressure.

As long as he has his merry band, I'd say yes. His success has been as much about Magee & Casteel as anything. I'd like to see the 3-3-5 with an SEC-caliber D-Line. Plus the East isn't exactly thunderdome right now.

He would do well at UF imo.

I think he would be like Sumlin. All offense with little defense. The reason the defense can't be great with their styles is that they are on the field too much and get tired. You think having a bad offense is frustrating, try having a porous defense. LSU fans can look back to 2008 as an example. Let's not even bring up the Tepper and Hallman days.

I don't know about other places, but I think he would find a lot of success at Florida.

Rich Rod damn near had WVU in the title game and then (albeit with stewart at the helm) his team demolished Oklahoma in the bowl game that year. That was with Pat White at QB.

He could certainly be successful in the SEC. The only question, which has already been mentioned, is what he would do on defense. At UM Casteel decided to stay at WVU and Rich Rod tried having DC that never coached the 335 before use it, without success. If he brought Casteel with him from AZ, IMO RR would definitely be successful.

Alabama thought so.

I think he'd do fine with a good DC. I've seen Arizona 3 times this year and they look pretty complete. Might even get in the CFP with a win and a bit of luck (Wisconsin/Mizzou).

If by win you mean compete for a conference/national title, then no.

Since he accepted and then rejected an offer from Bama, it's fair to ask if RR himself thinks he "has what it takes" to coach in the SEC.

Rich Rod isn't an elite school type of coach. He'd do well at Miss St, Ole Miss or South Carolina.
