Rodrigo attended Vallejo High School in Vallejo, California, and played college football at San Francisco State University, where he started as a fullback from 1954 to 1957, twice earning Little All-America honors. After graduating from San Francisco State, he remained at the school to coach the junior varsity teams in football, basketball, and baseball, and teach physical education. In 1960, Rodrigo became an assistant football coach at Clayton Valley High School in Concord, California, under head football coach Pat Murphy.[1] Rodrigo returned to San Francisco State in 1961 as backfield coach under newly appointed head football coach Vic Rowen.[2] Rodrigo moved on to Cal State Hayward in 1968 to serve as an assistant football coach under Les Davis.[3] He succeeded Davis as head coach in February 1971 when Davis left for New Mexico Highlands University.[4]
