Aaron Roderick changes his mind again - Update

PrintUtah WR coach Aaron Roderick has decided to stay with the Ute's after a promotion to offensive coordinator. Roderick was in the boat with Washington until the Ute's made the counter offer which upped his responsibility and salary.
Oregon's Robin Pflugrad was one of the candidates who interviewed or spoke with Sark about the position till it was apparently filled by Roderick. James Lofton was another name we kicked around the board.
Update
Apparently he has decided to go to UW and not stay with Utah. The co-coordinator position I guess wasn't that enticing a prospect for him. The hiring is now official.
As far as this weekend's recruiting goes I will have an article up later today. I like to wait till everything is sifted through when it comes to recruiting. I think UW did pretty well which is typical of the first week of visits.

Realdawg is reporting a commitment to the Huskies. This is a kid who had been verbally commited to, I believe Boise State, I think his team mate Keith Price may have changed his mind. Good for us though! GO DAWGS!!
The gift that just keeps giving...
…Desmond Trufant to Washington. GO DAWGS!! Realdawg reports again…
Marcus being his brohter...
…it’s really a nobrainer, I mean with big brother right down the street it makes total sense.
Little brothers like to piss off the big brother
If my brother had gone to WSU, I’d go to UW just to be different, or to get under his skin. Having his brother close and having a little family rivalry could all be part of his motivation for going to UW.

I love it!
This is amazing news! Sark and Co. are really getting it done!
Jumped the gun a bit
He says he isn’t announcing anything till he can talk to his family.

Don't bet against crazi
Utah is now reporting that Roderick will be going to the UW and the other co-OC will be the lone OC at Utah. Apparently he wanted to stay at Utah, but later found out that someone named Crazi had already committed him to UW. End of story.
So what's the deal with Roderick?
I’m having problems desiphering your posts- is he coming or stayinng?
Not sure if I want Roderick around anymore. We need guys that want to be apart of this program. Being wishy-washy is not the sort of reciever coach I want. Either you’re with us or you’re not.
Still think a guy named James Lofton would be a great hire as receivers coach. In my opinion Lofton was one of the top 25 wide recievers in the history of the NFL. Kids would listen to his coaching lectures. All he has to say to a young kid- “You want to make it to the show? Then listen up”.
If Roderick is the guy then he’d better get onboard because we aren’t waiting for him to make a decision.

is the most recent I’ve heard about the matter.

He is UW's! Its official.
Though I dont know at this point if thats a good thing or not…kind of wishy washy, but then so was Holt so I wont hold it againist him.
good to hear some player news this weekend
Johnson, Trufant and Shamburger are all upgrades for the class. One name I hadn’t heard in a while is Emeka Iweka. Given the dearth of quality linemen on both sides of the ball, I’m wondering if this guy still can play and whether or not he still is on the UW radar. Any of you close to the process have any news on him?

So is Rudy.
Iweka
He wont be eligible till next Winter.

Tell me about it!
Rivals doesnt have him in their system…real sleeper! I guess he was commited to Nevada or something…i trust Sark and Co. I am sure they know what they are doing.
Roderick, on and off
I don’t have a problem with his flip flops if that’s the guy Sark wants. Leaving that exciting Utah offense would be difficult, especially when they offer to put you in charge of the passing game. Incidently, when Utah announced he would be co-OC, the only post that followed that said that Roderick should be the only OC. Its good to get people that are wanted at more than one program.
Concerning the Oregon WR coach, its not like we were stealing him from OR and that would hurt them. The coach in waiting is going to fire him anyway. Speaking of Kelly, is Billoti going to step down after LOI day? This is weird. I’m sure teams going after OR commits have had a field day dissing that situation.
