South Carolina will meet with Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez about its opening, Bruce Feldman is reporting.

Rodriguez, 52 years old, previously coached at West Virginia and Michigan. He won a Pac-12 South title with the Wildcats in 2014, and his name was mentioned by some in conjunction with the Florida job that eventually went to Jim McElwain.

The coach won four Big East titles in his last five seasons with the Mountaineers, amassing 32 wins and back-to-back-to-back Coaches Poll top 10 finishes from 2005-07.

Rodriguez is 32-20 at Arizona. He compiled records of 3-9, 5-7 and 7-6 in three seasons at Michigan. The Wolverines went 11-2 the following year under Brady Hoke, who then plummeted for the next three seasons until the school eventually replaced him with Jim Harbaugh.

His time in Ann Arbor led to criticism, as he reportedly was very tough on players, some of whom left. Michigan also got two years of probation from the NCAA for violating rules such as requiring players to exceed the mandated maximum offseason workout hours.

Many within the program were not fans of his hurry-up, no-huddle offense that has otherwise proven to be a big success in Rodriguez’ career.

According to the USA Today database, Rodriguez made about $3.2 million at Arizona this year, or about $1 million per year less than Steve Spurrier at South Carolina. So it’s possible that the Gamecocks could win a bidding war with the Wildcats.
