Finally, the juicy details that everyone was waiting for start to emerge. The sexual harassment assumptions started right away, and now the allegations are rolling in.One, from RichRod’s former assistant Melissa Wilhelmsen, who was allegedly in charge of covering up his affair for him.Just horrible form. I don’t know what kind of secret agent CIA Da Vinci Code ass spy ring this guy thought he was running with “Triangle of Secrecy” and “Hideaway Books” and shit, but it looks like it was allegedly all just code for “scumbag.” The woman was part of the triangle, and repeatedly expected to cover for Rodriguez while he had an extramarital affair.Players on the team sent the woman pictures of their genitals and when she asked Rodriguez to intervene, he ignored her. Rodriguez previously served as the head football coach at Salem University (1988), Glenville State College (1990–1996), West Virginia University (2001–2007), the University of Michigan (2008–2010), and the University of Arizona (2012–2017). That is about as bold as you can get. The woman caught Rodriguez “ogling” her and said, “No, you can’t do that … that’s not cool,” but she claims his behavior only got worse.
Those two almost certainly saw each other, and the fact that Wilhelmsen had to stand between them at one point is completely insane.There are a litany of other allegations against Rodriguez that include clear sexual harassment of Wilhelmsen and fostering an atmosphere where sexual harassment of women was completely acceptable. At some point Melissa had to stand between the two hoping to avoid a confrontation. In fact this is all I could think of while reading that claim:His wife and his mistress were both on the sidelines during a game. If even half of Wilhelmsenâs claims are true, Rodriguez should never be allowed near another major college football program. While there are a ton of crazy details within the filing, one stood out to us as particularly insane: Rodriguez had both his wife and his mistress on the sidelines near each other at a game in 2015.On November 6, 2015, Rodriguez asked Melissa to get a sideline pass for his âfriendâ for the USC game in Tucson, which turned out to be his girlfriend. During the game, Melissa realized that Rodriguezâs wife was also on the sideline. Rodriguez laughed it off without acknowledging her stress or sense of betrayal to his wife.Iâll say this about Rich Rodriguez, the guy has some serious stones on him. Being nicknamed “The Predator”….actually bad. University of Arizona's (UA) head football coach Rich Rodriguez was fired Tuesday after his former assistant accused him of sexual harassment. Other coaches made inappropriate comments about the woman’s clothing and her daughter, who also worked for the football team, saying her daughter … Even after being fired out of nowhere, the two parties are not going to just go their separate ways. Rich Rodriguez was fired by Arizona Tuesday night after allegations of sexual harassment against him became public. Slimy…but at least it’s not sexual harassment or assault right?“The Hideaway Book” and the “Triangle of Secrecy” were set up to help hide Rodriguez’s misdeeds. I donât know if youâve seen a college football game before, but there arenât just dozens of women hanging out on the sidelines. #originalHardEdge — Rich Rodriguez (@CoachRodAZ) December 20, 2016 The Richrod scandal is not getting any better.
