How many times will it take for WVU to tell you that they don't have the money before you believe it?
Then there’s a major fiscal management problem. You’re telling me WVU isn’t better than 12th out of the 16 teams of the Big12? WVU athletic department is only better than 4 other Big12 programs? I call BS.

The WVU AD has to look at the situation in its entirety.

First and foremost, is there an improvement out there that could take the reigns? Not a guess, speculation, or hopeful thought but a known coach who can step in immediately and improve the situation. That means x's and o's, assistants, recruiting, the whole gamut.

If not, keep him until there is.

Second, there has to be a cost analysis with regards to keeping versus firing him. Say famous coach A states he will come, but at a cost tag of 10 million per year? Sorry, can't afford that even though he's definitely an upgrade. However, keeping Brown costs X amount of season ticket holders and donor money. Suppose WVU keeps him and by the halfway point next year and WVU is 2-4 or 3-3 and the stadium is only half full. What's that going to cost?

Lots to consider.

As much as we want him gone, the AD can't just jump the shark - that could potentially put us in worse position in years to come.

That's interesting because out of the people I have talked to about Brown, many still like him as the head coach. Others don't really have a strong opinion either way and basically assume the administration will make a change if they feel it is needed. Otherwise, they still support and cheer on the team like true fans are supposed to do. I haven't heard anybody calling for him to be fired except on here.

I live in Morgantown and have heard a lot of people calling for his firing for the last 3 years.

This message board is mild compared to what I see on the more popular social media platforms. I live in Morgantown and know a lot of Die Hard fans and they're all done with Neil brown. I don't know a single person outside of you and the other two on here who actually support this guy. I know a 76 year old woman who is DieHard WVU and she even understands that he needs to be fired because he simply not up to West Virginia University standards. You're actually in the minority and the people who want to keep Neil Brown because he's a nice guy are just making the situation worse and are probably even more responsible for this humiliation that he's going to have to go through
