Rich Rodriguez's office walls are bare. Behind his desk, University of Michigan football helmets rest atop wooden shelves just above some pictures of his wife and their two kids, along with playbooks from his years at West Virginia University. Sun pours through the glass-filled wall facing the south, where earth-moving equipment is paving the way for a 100,000-plus-square-foot football facility.
