Could care less. I think we got the right guy now though. Just crazy excited for next Saturday!!! WVU!!!
I enjoyed the Dana years. I enjoyed the Rich years. I enjoyed the Don years. I will enjoy the Neal years. It's just the way I'm wired. If they are Mountaineers then I'm supporting them. Bring on the Dukes. Hopefully, they're not a Hazzard.

Basically mean I’m just excited for this season. Sorry I didn’t say “couldn’t “ !!I am assuming you meant you couldn't care less. But that doesn't seem possible if you think the current coach is the guy. That means you didn't think Dana was the guy. If you did, you'd have to feel bad to a degree that he left. If not, you have to be glad to a degree he was replaced by a coach that has the chance to be "the guy"
Dana putting pieces together? Hell, he didn't even have a game board. The best team he had
(Orange Bowl) included Bill Stewart recruits - that's why it was good. i suggest that under
Dana we saw no improvement of the program, the team was not focused, undisciplined, and
during the season did not improvement and ran out of steam at the end of nearly all the games.
Other than all that he was fine.
Don't know what you mean--no improvement? WVU had begun competing in the toughest conference in the country and was a contender for the conference. Ranked much of the time at that.
WVU competed for the conference last year, and won 10 games just two years before that.
His win average was up there with the best coaches ever at WVU, but in the toughest league in the country and against the toughest schedules WVU ever faced in history of the program. WVU had multiple NFL caliber players under Holgorsen--some of the best talent ever at the school. WVU went from 8th in the conference the first 2 years WVU entered the BIG 12 to 4th place by the last 2 seasons, and finished as high as 3rd in 2016.
You seem to be mistaking winning the conference--a tough task for anyone especially with teams like title contending Oklahoma at the top--with improvement.
Now? WVU seems poised to dropping down to nowhere with a complete overhaul and rebuild and multiple departures.
So Neal Brown has already failed in your eyes?
Dana is right where he belonged all along.
WVU has moved on to the type of Coach we have wanted all along.
It’s a win-win.
The type of coach wanted all along?
WVU fans want a winning coach. Holgorsen was that.
Brown hasn't won a single game. Don't prematurely annoint him.

Thanks for the lesson!!
Dana is the definition of an average head coach. Easily replaceable. It was time for him to move on. Wvu will be better off in the long run
I think even Neal Brown is trying to lower fan expectations for this season.
People are trying to downrate Holgorsen so that Brown's likely results won't seem bad?
Makes no sense. WVU was in the top four in the conference and moving into consideration for the league championship under Holgorsen. Now it looks like ground zero.
There is no success at all yet under Brown. Hope one day he is good, but I don't want WVU starting over. That's where WVU is--all national expectations are WVU will not be good. Not ranked. Not in contention for anything--maybe not even a bowl game.
Not sure how people can celebrate that.

Lmao . I couldn’t care less!! How bout that?Wanted to see where you are at
You said you could less so I was thinking you did care.
Should care about WV. Why wouldn't you
Dana built a winner. I don't see how you can say he didn't.
Wasn't enough for some fans but Dana Holgersen won a lot of games at West Virginia.
It can get a lot worse than Dana for West Virginia. I don't think some people are understanding this point.
Every school in the Big XII even Oklahoma and Texas have had some bad seasons.
Dana was closer to the ceiling for WV than he was the floor.
Where Neal Brown fits is yet to be determined.
Was that because of Dana or the expectations.
Maybe the perceived expectations.
Dana thought that he had to win so he used transfers to find talent. If Dana would tell the story it would be a lot different than what some of you are saying
Do you believe that expectations would have been higher this year if Dana would have stayed?
I don't think anyone would have given us very good odds with what we had lost and the youth and inexperience returning. All of this certainly made it easier for Dana to leave for Houston while his name still had some value. After this year, and the lowered expectations by everyone - coaching staff, fans, the writers - his star would have been on the wane and the value he could receive at his next stop would have been less.
So, it would have been "ground zero" this year with or without Dana at the helm.
I agree that Brown hasn't won a game here yet. Still, people like his approach to the game, the fans, etc. better than they liked Dana's, generally speaking. Will that formula equal out to more success? Time will tell. I feel that's what has gotten fans "expectations" up more so than what the win total will be this year which likely wasn't going to be great regardless.
That is the dumbest thing you have ever said. Oh my gosh... Dana thought he had to win... that has never happened to a head football coach before.
Do you even think about what you are saying?
I have explained it to you before, and clearly you can’t grasp it, so I am not wasting my time doing it again with someone that doesn’t want to grasp reality.
Dude... just get out of here with that poor-mouthing of WVU. Nobody here is saying WVU is a blue blood, elite, but winning 8 games with the offensive talent WVU had last year is not the ceiling for WVU.
Texas’ 10-win season didn’t bring a win over WVU, and we played you in Texas with every B.S. call you refs could muster.
Dana will do wonderful at Houston, but he was not the ceiling for WVU.
Part of the reason Dana left was because he knew things would be tough this season. Even if he stayed, we are looking at probably the same 5-7 wins we should end up with under Brown, at best.
Dana didn’t want the pressure of having expectations, so he left. I don’t see how anyone can fault him for going somewhere he thought was a better situation for him.
