There were rumblings Rich Rodriguez wanted to move closer to home. He was reported to be in the mix for the South Carolina Gamecocks job. Judging from his last tweet, it appears he’s staying put with the Arizona Wildcats. That leaves…Will Muschamp.
Huge retention for Arizona AD Greg Byrne. Per Byrne, Rodriguez had been offered the job.
Great news! @CoachRodAZ did not commit to the offer from S. Carolina. He's an Arizona Wildcat. #BearDown

No word yet whether Rodriguez’ loyalty will earn him increased compensation.
