My gut says absolutely not no matter the consequence we cannot have another crappy season with Neal Brown, but….. based on some conversations i had earlier today… this is how it is shaking out… Wren doesn’t really like any coaches out there that we can reasonably obtain. He doesn’t love the idea of a coordinator and would prefer a head coach who has won at multiple stops. I’ll run down a list of some names that were thrown around and my thoughts on them.

1. Cignetti. Donors are beside themselves that he is having the kind of success he is having at Indiana in year one. Wren looks awful for passing on Cignetti, coaches with his kind of winning history at three different schools are basically unheard of and for him to be a former player? sheeeesh. It may be more possible that wren could raise neal’s buyout AND Cignetti’s buyout than just Neal’s buyout and a random coach (if that makes sense). Personal opinion is that Cignetti goes somewhere bigger after this year anyway, but rumor is he would be interested in wvu.

2. Jimbo. He is really the only other coach that donors would pony up the dough for. I don’t think Wren wants to go down that path , but it seems most probable if Neal face plants the rest of the way.

3. Chadwell/Traylor/Kinne. Was told that none of them would be interested in the wvu job.

4. Sumrall. Most likely candidate if Wren chooses to not go the donor route. It would be interesting to see the backlash on this since he is pretty tight with Neal Brown.

5. Silverfield/Candle/Clark/Helton/Odom/‘Shot in the dark OC’. I just grouped these guys all together because I don’t really like think anyone (me included) is clamoring for our new coach to be one of the guys listed.

6. Mike Jacobs. Some FCS guy.

I’m not really sure what an extra year buys you in terms of getting a better coach but I’m not so sure i want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire with any of these dudes.

What are y’all’s thoughts? And before you say “anybody but neal” lol ..,, please give it some thought , who ever we get will probably be the coach for at least the next 4-5 years.

I earned a I Voted Sticker today. Brought it home and put it into an envelope then hid that envelope among my paperwork.
I hope this stamp doesn't end up being the last one ever but It may be the last Vote by the American public should Harris win the election.
I can see Harris allowing her puppet master taking over this country and end any freedom we now have. Hopefully each of you gets out and votes for Trump and eliminates any possibility of this happening...

Just watched local news at noon and high is 99 for the game Saturday with a good chance to hit 100. Tailgating and pre-game activities are going to be very warm. Sunset is early out here (5:40 or so) so should start to cool off in 2nd half.

That is 10 degrees plus above normal. It was mid 70’s for 1 pm Buffs game last week and I wore a pullover. Lol. Drink lots of water fellow Mountaineers. Safe travels to the desert.

Thanks for clearing that up judge.

Republican election official in crucial Georgia appeals order saying she must certify results

McBurney wrote in his order that nothing in Georgia law allows county election officials to determine that fraud has occurred or what should be done about it. Any concerns they have should be noted and shared with appropriate authorities for criminal prosecution or as the basis to challenge an election in court, but they cannot be used as justification not to certify, he wrote.

Drew Cronic would have had GG in the heisman race. If he can do this with a dual threat QB at Navy. I’m hoping his he gets a serious look at least if we start a coaching search.
