We'll leave it at that except to say that no one could beat him in parlaying a 1969 loss by the Brownsville Golden Eagles against the Seguin Matadors into a cottage industry. Alchemist Joe. Every time we pass by Sams Stadium we look up in awe at his $1.4 million scoreboard. Pura gravy.
Will he be buried under the artificial turf at the 50-yard line?
For a gushy story on his life, go to Jerry McHale's (his protege) blog for the full two-volume epic on his life.
We extend our condolences to his extended family for their loss.)

A legend in his own mind.
He had trouble sleeping, the cause being lingering nightmarish images of Seguin High running back Cleveland Vann beast-moding his shorter, slower players at Sams Stadium that fateful day.
May he rest in a smidgen of peace. All he did with BISD was not necessarily good for students or faculty.
Adios, ese!
What was his point of all he stolen by corruption in all those years in BISD! He wouldn't take it with him after death! All that money will be spent by someone else. I wouldn't want to be him when facing God!
Another mass shooting in Fredrick, Maryland. Two victims and a shooter down. Hahahahaha! Now are you all waking up to the fake government psyop mass shootings! Or your brain cells can't comprehend reality! It's already about 6 shooting within 3 weeks and it started with Veggie Biden being the temporary president! More fake shootings are on the way! Enjoy your safe government/Gates vaccines pinche vacas Idiotas!
Have some respect for the man who guided so many athletes for so many years.
May Coach Joe rest in peace as he joins his wife, Emma in the "Golden Eagle
Road" in heaven.
Come On Juan,
Please be respectful to Coach Joe Rodriquez. It is wrong for you to disparage him at this moment and time. No one is perfect but, please be respectful to the Rodriquez family. You have children and when God calls you home you don’t want those left behind to be burdened with the pain of people disparaging your life and name. You need to be better than that.
Building lanes and sidewalks for children to walk to school, or senior citizens to walk across blvds like Central, Internation, 802, Alton Gloor, Boca Chica, Southmost and others and for wheel chair bound disabled citizens is OUT OF THE QUESTION, they worry more about the elitist the rich and famous.
I see more and more wheel chair users using the lanes designed for vehicle traffic senior citizen maneuvering between cars at high speed but to them its not important...
THEY ALL NEED TO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE.
Juan, if you don't have anything good to say about a person, don't say anything. Regardless of what he might have done or did not do, have some respect for those that are no longer here in this world.
Good RIDDANCE
WHAT A P.O.S. He was might have been in it for the kids early pasrt of his career but over time he became a snake and what was in for HIM. I for one will NOT MISS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's now in the air-conditioned domed stadium of Heaven.
Only, God is calling the plays now:
"Joe, you go long...and I'll fake to you..."
Coach Joe Rod was a legend and nobody will be able to fill his shoes. He was a loyal friend and well respected. May he rest in heavenly peace. My condolences to the entire Rodriguez family.,
Old Joe was a quick learner. He just looked around and copied what others were doing. Why single him out?
You're judging people again.
Judge yourself.
Will the real joe Rodriguez please stand up
He had two personalities... the coach and the ugly politician
You are right on Juan...you cannot coverup the truth. May he Rest In Peace
He was a mean person in real life period!
Montoya you are the biggest scum for writing trash on a respected individual that is already deceased. I hope you sleep well at night!
JMON
How do you have the audacity to trash Coach Joe Rodriguez and then turn around and give your condolences. Believe what you want. Everyone will have their own opinion. I don’t agree with yours and you may not believe what I’m about to post, but you should really get all the facts including the good, before you bash someone that is no longer with us.
Coach Joe did a lot for BISD student-athletes, BISD and the Rio Grand Valley Athletics. In case you’re not aware - The Rio Grande Valley now host Regional Playoff sites for several sports. For several years he fought with UIL to get Regional Playoffs down here, which saves our district and others a lot of money. For many years - he sponsored a golf tournament to raise money to give out scholarships to student-athletes which total over 998,000.00 dollars. He always supported all athletes until the end. He attended Football, Volleyball, Basketball games and was present at track meets as well. Sam’s Stadium is what it is today because he fought for the upgrades and improvements. I could go on and on about the good he did for not only our district and many individuals but I choose to stop here. Like I said get all your facts including the good before you bash someone that is no longer with us. RIP Coach Joe and my sincere condolences to his family and friends ❤️ Coach Joe Rodriguez will always be respected by me and will surely be missed by many....Coach Joe always in our hearts and never forgotten.
Coach joe, May you rest in Peace. Condolences to the family.
Someone told me on FB that people that want respect they must earn it.
I saw this gentleman once at a Retired Teachers Association meeting when he was running for BISD board. The other candidate running against him was a regular retired classroom teacher. The people in the room ignored him giving all the attention to Mr. Rodriguez. I thought that was VERY RUDE considering they were supposed to be equal. Both were just candidates. When Mr. Rodriguez won the seat, then we had the million dollar score board scandal, I remember the person running against him and know he would probably be a better board member, but he was not "famous" and / or "respected", I don't feel I am being disrespectful to his memory by remembering THE TRUTH. Just because someone dies, it does not make him/her a great person or a bad person. His memory is remembered by his friends and those that were just observers, his memory will be that for which he leaves behind in what the FACTS of his actions represented to the general public. No matter how much we amaze in life $$$$, at the end of the road, we all end the SAME with death. May his soul find peace in the eternal time of death.
I knew this man very well he was a very talented crook... along with coach Chavez . They should honor his legacy by naming a toilet at Sam Stadium in honor
In defense of Juan...it takes balls to write the truth
Juan will never have trouble sleeping... 3 or 4 beers will do wonders
Well, at least his heirs are set for life!
He was a greedy bastard and whats the point of being so rich? He couldn't take the corruption money with him! Hahahaha!I Wouldn't want to him when he faces God!
To the people that can not handle the fact that Joe Rodriguez use Brownsville ISD as an ATM!!
You can not handle the truth!!!!
Answering to 4/6 12:29, 12:50, 2:10, 3:44, and 4/8 10:11 back at you for veins a Joe Rod ass kisser.
Why did the entire Rodriguez family leave Edinburg? Because they were considered trash n Joe was the leader of the pack
Joe was a certified cruel human being... he hurt me and my family.. Those scholarships he gave out did not come out of his pocket. It was Bisd giving the scholarships. He used his name as the main donor. He took monies from those tournaments to line his pockets. Nobody ever checked tournament profits - but he
The college you attended paid for the scholarship... let’s get it straight, joe himself did not give out all that scholarship money. That’s BS
The one making these stupid comments needs to “keep the faith! Abrazos fuerte! “
Este guey Rodriguez was as greedy/corrupted as pinche Vegetable Biden! Hahahahahahahaha! At the end, in death, their dirty money will not go with them! Hahahahaha!
first of all @1:11, if you cared for Joe so much why did you write Anonymously? Let us know who you are. And @ 4:20 you summed it up very well. He was who he was because we put him in power(Voters) and he abused the system. Nothing else to say!
What made you special is you actually stole from children. Typical Browntown crook. Glad you are dead.
No stupid comments just the truth
Why did the entire Rodriguez family leave Edinburg??? They were considered a plague
Everyone knew he was a crook with the million dollar scoreboard, the astroturf soccer fields, and Porter ringate with pendejas espi zendejas. Just to to name a few of his crooked deals with vendors. Is it any wonder he lost the last school board election? Good riddance!!
Why did the entire Rodriguez family leave Edinburg? It’s not because they did something good!!
Why did the entire Rodriguez family leave Edinburg? Good question?
1:29AM - When money was spent on the various jobs approved by the board as part of the TRE election, all activities were widely approved by the voters. All the board voted to approve the projects that were to be financed by money that the state owe BISD. Carl Montoya did not even know it was there and it amazes me that Dr. A had not found it before Dr. Zendejas did when she took over. Change of orders were requested and approved by the whole board so why is Coach Joe and Dr. Z being blamed for bringing these improvements to the district. The ringgate at Porter was started by a man who ran out of town and soon as he was found out and the principal participated in it and was only moved to another campus. Where was the board then? Dr. Zendejas took the blame because she the lady in charge and so it fell on her, but the issue was settled.
I ask the above blogger if he/she ever attended any of the meeting when this was taking place and actually witness the actions that he/she claims to be an expert on. I wonder if this same person is watching the current administration and school board with their shenanigans?
La lengua se mueve nomas cuando sabe lo que dice!
1:29 anyway u put it joe was a crook
