from the charleston daily mail howard would love this story
Radio station says DJ is supended for playing Michigan fight song over and over
by Justin D. Anderson
Daily Mail Capitol Reporter
A Charleston radio personality was suspended from his job for refusing to tone down his on-air excitement over former WVU head football coach Rich Rodriguez's decision to take the head job at the University of Michigan.
Coach Kidd, a Michigan native, co-hosts the morning talk show on Electric 102.7 FM. For the past couple days, he's dominated the show's content with his feelings on how Rodriguez's job change will be a boon to the Wolverines football program -- much to the dismay of listeners.
After playing the Wolverines' fight song for a fourth time this morning, Coach Kidd was yanked off the air.
"Basically, it boils down to insubordination," said Wade Hill, the station's program manager. "He was just taking it a little too far."
Hill said the decision to suspend Coach Kidd came from upper-level management about 7:40 a.m. today. Hill said he's been trying to work something out with the station's administrators to see if he can get Coach Kidd back on the air.
Listeners have been complaining that Coach Kidd's extravagant support of Rodriguez's controversial decision is disrespectful to the state.
A great many WVU fans were outraged after word got out on Sunday that Rodriguez had accepted the Michigan job.
The ire increased as it became apparent that Rodriguez wouldn't even coach the team in the Tostito's Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2 after a disastrous and devastating loss to Pitt knocked WVU out of the national championship.
A lot of fans felt betrayed, since last year saw WVU fans clenching their teeth waiting to see if Rodriguez was going to take a job at the University of Alabama. In the end, Rodriguez pledged his devotion to WVU, his alma mater.
Considering the fragile emotions in the state this week, Hill said Coach Kidd was warned three times to change the subject away from his glee over Rodriguez's move.
But this morning, he refused to stop playing the Wolverines' fight song.
"He just kept playing it over and over again," Hill said.
Hill said he had mixed feelings about the suspension, which is indefinite. Hill said Coach Kidd was going against the flow of the show, but he could have been just being a showman and trying to drum up some controversy.
In the end, managers saw Coach Kidd's behavior as turning his back on his listeners and West Virginia, Hill said.
Coach Kidd could not be reached for comment today. |

| Heard Nick Saban might be interested in the WVU job. |

| KingOfAllWhites |
that is the strong rumor.
Heard Saban is not happy at Alabama.
However, it will not happen. I am guessing it is either Doc Holliday or Terry Bowden |

Dont know if its true, but heard it from a guy on rivals.com who claims he has connections. Other people do back him up as reliable. |
