The Sporting News is reporting a stunning meeting, at least to Michigan fans bracing for the Brady Hoke era, in Toledo:

There's a new twist in Michigan's ongoing search for a head coach: University officials are meeting with West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez, according to Sporting News Radio correspondent Michael Bradley.
Rodriguez and his agent are in Toledo today to negotiate with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and university president Mary Sue Coleman.

Oh, good grief. Third year in a row with this guy. Hey WVU, just call his bluff already. He won't walk.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez declined comment Friday on a report that he was meeting with Michigan officials about the Wolverines' football coaching vacancy.

Rodriguez said little upon arriving at the Morgantown airport on a flight from Toledo, Ohio.
"Going to practice. I'm going to practice," he said Friday evening before getting into his car.
Friday's meeting was first reported by Sporting News Radio, which said Rodriguez and his agent were in Toledo to talk with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and university president Mary Sue Coleman.

Michigan is looking for a replacement for Lloyd Carr, who announced his retirement last month after 13 seasons. The Wolverines had lured basketball coach John Beilein away from West Virginia last April after firing Tommy Amaker in mid-March.

West Virginia athletic director Ed Pastilong said he was unaware Rodriguez, who has a hefty buyout clause in his contract, was in Toledo.
"He has not shared that with me,"

I almost hope this is true. As a WVU fan, I love what Coach Rod does on the field, but he drives me nuts with these offseason antics.

Were they trying to hide something by meeting in Toledo? Why not just meet in Ann Arbor?

Well, it's a case of meeting halfway, splitting the distance travelled. That's my guess anyway.
