OT: Rich Rodriguez' Home for sale at $1.9 million
Rodriguez finally got around to listing his York Township home at a small sum of $1.9 million.
It's a home for the well-heeled buyer with a taste for luxury. It features an in-ground pool and hot tub, a home theater and game room and an asking price of $1,895,000. It also boasts a "luxurious master wing with sitting room and private balcony (and) an exquisitely appointed bath that rivals any spa," according to the listing.
Do we have any takers here???
Good Luck selling your home Rich ..... this may take a while.

Total meltdown shall commence shortly in this thread.
but was there a gold toilet??? If there's no gold toilet I don't know how you could call it luxurious.
"luxurious master wing with sitting room and private balcony (and) an exquisitely appointed bath that rivals any spa,"
Doesn't sound very MANBALL to me!!!!
that house is amazing.
Are the cupboards bare?
Is there any defense securities installed to keep people out?
It has 3 cameras in the front, 3 in the middle, and 5 in the back. Unfortunately, burglars in the midwest tend to come right at you up front, so with only 3 cameras on the first line, that leaves plenty of opportunity to go right through the front windows.
Sounds like he had the wrong guy install them, he should have went with the guy who put his cameras in back in Morgantown.
His previous experience was in installing cable, this was his first attempt at a security system.
But damn, that cable guy had a glorious mane. He also took care of his gopher problem. He always had an affinity for attracting furry little animals.
Also beautiful.
(Damn points system...I've been a member since day one but since I never ever post I can't upvote you. Boo that.)
Happy MGOBDAY! I got you a meaningless point.
Beautiful.
but I heard he still put out a good spread. Must of had it catered in...
Nice house, but damn that place needs a lot of landscaping. They should have put $100k into the landscaping before putting it on the market.
It was assessed for $870,000. That's a cool $1 mil more than what it's worth. Good luck selling that!
but there is a big difference between assessed value and market value.
The assessed value in Michigan is intended to be half of the true market value.
The assessment is used for calculating taxes, and is not meant to indicate market value. It typicall is around 50% of MV.
I would consider buying it if I were still in Ann Arbor.
I would also need an income to support a $1.9M home, but that's beside the point.
He's trying to make a massive profit... he bought it for $1.5M in 2008.
He either added a ton of improvements or he is smoking something.
I could see some ridiculous booster who's still pissed about the whole ordeal buying it and burning it to the ground.
he has money to burn!

York Township requires a burn permit for something that size, I think.
if you can afford the house, you can afford the burn permit.
Just goes to show you can't buy class.
I probably shouldn't respond positively to a -1/Flamebait post, but I've done dumber things on this 'blog, so why not?
I pretty much agree with you. It looks like a standard bloated McMansion to me (which I guess makes it a mansion). There's mismatching of elements all over the place. The cabinets alone are evidence that the builder had no imagination.
......in York Township, it's a mansion with well and septic too. One must ask - would you pay nearly $2 million just to be without water and toilets when the power is out?
In homes that size, you typically include a back-up generator for when you lose power. In many areas, large estates do not have city water or sewage. It is rarely an issue.
That walk-in shower with separate tub area is ridiculous. I need to become the football coach at the University of Michigan.
That's only like... 1/2 of a $4 Million buyout...
He still has a house in Morgantown that he cannot seel either, right? Dude is living in Florida and is still owed $3.5 Million for getting fired...LIVING THE DREAM
He just got done installing everything. Odds are, the next guy is going to rip everything out and start over.
That doesn't have to be the case. Maybe the next owner will realize that while it's not really decorated in his style, it's still a very nicely done home. Instead of going through the trouble of gutting it, such an owner might choose to just tweak certain aspects of the motif over time until it becomes a style more in line with his personal tastes.
Wouldn't the next owner feel obligated to do this though?
I could be wrong, but it's probably not possible to pick a worse time to sell a million dollar home anywhere in the US, let alone southeastern Michigan. Mortgage rates are going to increase very soon, which has this funny effect of eliminating entire swathes of prospective buyers and taking comparable (alternative home) prices way down town.
Oh well, Rodriguez will probably land a decent paying job next year for $2 million or more, line up much smaller crib (to the chagrin of his better half) and declare a loss on the home sale in Michigan.
Still, that a McMansionesque house for a small family of 3. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time (early 2008)? I bet they're glad to be out. Probably not many good conversations or positive thoughts/memories inside those walls.
For joe average yeah, but IMO anyone looking for a million $ and up home probably hasn't been too negatively affected by the economy.... his house will sell, some rich person will pick it up.
our helmets AND homes have wings.
The Detroit media will not allow this transition to happen. RR has no chance to sell that house.
5600 freaking sqt ft. Have to admit it is impressive looking.
Nice house, too bad as a head coach at a major university, he probably spent less than 5% of his time there.
He spent the other 3% of that 5% at Dan's Downtown Tavern

Sorry, guys. You can't have it. I just finalized the purchase.
On the bright side, I'll give you a thorough tour for just $1.9 million. I'll even cook you dinner.
smoked BBQ, then I'm in!
if that means what I think it means, I will be laughing all day. I did some landscaping around there and she definitely taught me how to trim the bush. ;)
