What a homecoming it will be for West Virginia football legend Pat White. It was announced yesterday that he will return to his Alma Mater as an Assistant Quarterbacks Coach and Assistant to the Head Coach. There’s a whole reunion going on in Morgantown (WV) right now: 1st Coach Rich Rodriguez was re-hired as West Virginia’s Head Football Coach this past December, and now his former QB Pat While will be joining him on the sidelines. It should be an electric scene at Milan Puskar Stadium on August 30th when the Mountaineers take the field against Robert Morris.
Pat White was a 2X Big East player of the year, had a 35-8 record as a starter, won 4 bowl games, broke numerous records, and is recognized as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in college football history.
Following his illustrious career as a player, he began his coaching journey on the college level in 2018 at Alcorn State (QB Coach), he then made stops at USF (RB Coach - 2020), Alabama State (QB Coach -2021), and Campbel (QB Coach - 2022), before becoming an assistant at the NFL level with the LA Chargers. Now he’s back to where it all started in Morgantown, West Virginia.
WVU Head Coach Rich Rodriguez put out a statement about Pat White’s return in the Mountaineers official release: “It's really special to welcome Pat White back to Morgantown as a member of our football coaching staff. He has been involved in some of the biggest wins in program history, and he will be a great presence in our quarterback room. Pat and I have been through so much together, and I am really proud of the quality of coach and mentor to young players that he has become.”
