I don't meet people from the internet in person basically ever. I'm glad for you that you have met 20 people on here that's pretty cool. If it were something I desired perhaps I would look up to you for that but I don't so it just is what it is.

Back on topic, tell me why we should keep Neil Brown as a coach at this point and why fans should not jump off the bandwagon and demand better? Give me some compelling reasons. Instead of just charging in and calling names and pointing fingers like you did 3 years ago and still do, why don't you actually make an argument.

More to the point, what's Nelly's plan for fixing things...or is he just going to take the Huggins approach and take years to fix it?

Not that it is anyone's business but I promote charitable contributions for those that can afford it. Not everyone can and that is fine. My dick isn't so small I have to compare to others and won't. I also am not calling for any coach being fired and having to buy him out but if I did, I would pony up a contribution and wouldn't make others feel small by insults.

My contributions personally are to the MAC, Pride of WV, a couple different with Alzheimer's and a couple different for cancer. Those are important to me. Have a couple more as a couple with my wife.

Bless those that find a calling and if you can't afford financially, give in your time with volunteer opportunities and don't think you are better than others. You aren't but rather you are doing something for your own personal beliefs.

I'm not asking you about what charities you contribute to. My hats off to you for contributing to any of them, if what you're saying is true at all. I'm asking how many Mountaineer games do you come out and support the team for? How many tickets do you buy each year and how long has it been since you have watched a home game in morgantown? Because my guess is it's probably none, and its been a looooong time maybe since you were in school here. You will criticize the fans who actually do put their money towards the team and show up to games to cheer them on and support WVU football, and call them bad fans because they want the team to be better so they want a better coach, and you say that stuff as a fan who doesn't even show up at all. I know people who are season ticket holders. A whole bunch of them. They want Neil Brown gone I guess they're bad fans too right. You can point your finger but there are four pointing back at you. That's an old childish saying, but it certainly applies to you

Other than your prediction of the final won/loss, I fully agree with this sentiment. I would put it at 80% that he will not be back for 2025. And I will also add, be prepared for a losing record for any coach they bring in for 2025. The unreasonable individuals will react improperly. Guaranteed.

How many home games do you attend each year? When was the last time you bought tickets and went out to support WVU? I'm starting to see a common theme. The people who never go to games, who never show up in Morgantown and have nothing invested into WVU sports are the ones who are against firing Brown. The people who put their money where their mouth is are ready to move on. And that is why Neil Brown will be gone at the end of season if not sooner.

A fire Brown website has come about. Fans are uniting against the past 6 years of terrible football coaching. He ain't winning anyone back even if he wins out. It's over for Neal in Morgantown.

Neil Brown is the football coach. Big difference. And I have no doubt in my mind that Huggins would have been there. Devries barely knows how to get around town yet

Nick Saban, Wren Baker and Joe Manchin all at Mylan Park together in Morgantown celebrating the success of the Mylan Park Sports Complex. Where is the WVU head coach for such a big, relevant event? Licking his wounds and packing his bags for a permanent move.... that's where.

I agree with this wholeheartedly and felt that Dana's lack of work ethic and focus on the little things is what held back his WVU teams. The question is for those that think it a moral reflection of the fan if a fan thinks of a coach's moral character as secondary to his ability to get wins. Support for a coach based upon his ability to do the job is no more a moral reflection of you than if your preferred plumber is a drunkard and gambler on his own time.

Where and when did Holgorsen avg 10 wins a season? When and where did Holgorsen win 4 conference championships? Holgorsen did avg 7.6 wins in 8 years at WVU. Far better than Brown. But Holgorsen only claim to fame is a tie for first in Big East and a tie for first in AAC along with a masterful game over Clemson in the Orange Bowl with previous coaches players. Finished ranked 3 times at WVU in 8 years.

Brown has great family picnics and pool party's and like the song says "just want to have fun." Only finished ranked 1 time at 25th in coaches poll in 2023. He averages 6.2 wins a year. (this avg only includes first 5 season as this season is yet to complete).

I would rather have a coach like Nehlen or Rodriguez.

I never said Holgorsen averaged 10 wins. It was a hypothetical for anyone who keeps bringing up a coach's non illegal off the field "university representation" when discussing Brown failing miserably at his job. The purpose is to determine if there is a level of success on the field that would make them overlook a coach "representing the university" as poorly as Holgorsen.

Many people never heard of him, until after he landed the job
