Rodriguez, whose No. 11 Mountaineers are preparing for their second BCS game in three seasons, will take over Michigan's program from Lloyd Carr, Michigan athletic department spokesman Bruce Madej said today.
Carr announced his retirement Nov. 19 after 13 seasons.
Michigan plans to introduce Rodriguez at a news conference Monday morning, Madej said. Rodriguez, who has a 60-26 record at West Virginia, led the Mountaineers (10-2) to their fourth Big East title in five seasons.
Carr plans to coach the Wolverines in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. 1 against No. 9 Florida.
