On Friday, ESPN College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit unveiled his highly-anticipated preseason Herbie Award winners. During the show, Herbstreit named West Virginia‘s Rich Rodriguez the best head coach hire this offseason.

“We know what Rich Rod is going to do,” Herbstreit said. “He’s going to be a lot of fun. And, boy, they got a huge game in Week 3. They need to beat Ohio early, but Week 3, the Backyard Brawl against Pitt at home — I can only imagine what that scene will be like

“I’m just so just fired up. It would have been easy to pick Bill Belichick, obviously, but I think just throwing some attention to what they did in West Virginia is very, very deserving.”
