The VCU Coaching Staff

Slightly unrelated, but Will Wade was actually in the building for Mike Rhoades' announcement presser. It was incredibly weird, but right before it started I looked up at the Tommy West Club and there he was, looking down on the arena. It was almost like an evil force watching from above.
Why do I picture Emperor Palatine looking out over the court? "Good, good. Let the hate flow over you " :D
 
And how is that? He had an interview, got an offer on Sunday, he talked to Ed who counter offered, discussions ensued over 2 1/2 days until Wednesday morning, Ed couldn't meet what MR wanted so he took the PSU job. It all occurred in less than a week.
WW ran out in the middle of the night
Shaka.....interviewed at TX, got an offer, discussed it for a couple of days with Ed, Ed couldn't meet what Shaka wanted so he took the TX job. It all occurred in less than a week.
Grant was out the door and about ready to step on a plane after only one year here.....from then on, it was only a matter of which season he would leave.
Capel left after his first opportunity, got an offer, accepted it and was gone.

So how was MR a dickhead?
Because he acted like a whiny b!tch and tried to turn all of our players against us.

I don't' know about the "turning players against us part" but the rest of your statement appears to be true. I am eager to see the interaction I have with him in Orlando and compared to other coaches that I interacted with after they left

The turning the players thing partially comes from the players using some of the same language in their tweets (calling people snakes) that Rhoades was using in private phone calls with people.

he never whined. It was public silence from both Ed and MR at VCU until he accepted the job. As it should be. Nor did he turn our players against us. The portal, no sit rule and NIL gave them an opportunity to play elsewhere......as has happened at many, many schools with coaching changes. Just like when we lost players when Shaka left, when WW left.
