Rich Rodriguez believes he has assembled a strong coaching staff to begin his second tenure at West Virginia, blending a perfect mix of experienced coaches who have been around the game for a long time, and some new blood who bring new ideas and opinions to the table.

One of those young assistants, Henry Weinreich, was recently featured on the "30 Under 30" list by Our Coaching Network. He spent one year with Rodriguez at Jacksonville State before following defensive coordinator Zac Alley to Oklahoma. He has coached all three levels of the defense throughout his young career, but will be in charge of the nickel corners and SAM linebackers in Morgantown.

During his one year in Norman, he worked with consensus All-American Danny Stutsman, who the New Orleans Saints selected in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Some of the players he'll be working closely with at West Virginia this upcoming season include Fred Perry, Jordan Scruggs, and Zae Jennings.
