2 years in a row a 1st round pick from WVU.
- Thread starter ThePunish-EER
- Start date
Doesn't say much for the playoff format, does it? I just checked their 2015 schedule, they dominated every other game.
This proves two points. The excuse Ollie and Dana were pushing that we had no talent and depth are wrong, and the on field coaching has been lacking.
Can we say we have had more talent then any other time in WVU football history?

It definitely damages the we can't do better than 7-5 where in the big 12 now theory. The posters that defend DH haven't had much to say about wvu draft success considering it damages the credibility of one of their favorite excuses. OL wasn't really giving DH a ringing endorsement at least in his final days at Wvu. I remembers him saying that we where leaving to many wins on the field and we could do better.
All of the spin stories are falling apart. Stew left us with no talent, Dana cant recruit at WVU, and we will never compete in the Big 12.
Come on coach, "Coach'em up" lets win. Get serious about this job and stop playing the California Surfer Dude. Get to work!

Its the image he puts off, you know what I ment. It the laid back image, rather be hanging out then watching film image.
You can argue results, but I don't think Coach DHs work ethic should be questioned. By all accounts he's been busting his ass to win football games.
Well he is still not putting up the wins compared to his talent level our expectations
So now folks are upset Dana is producing NFL talent? Well, that's not predictable.
Like I've always said, they simply don't like him because he's not from WV.
RR is from WV and didn't want to coach here.
Saban is from WV and doesn't want to coach here.
Jumbo is from WV and doesn't want to coach here.
5150 wants Terry Bowden, it's no secret. I bet he's on Lyon's short list too.

No, it isn't a secret.................. but it is retarded........

Demographically, WV is a very, very old state. I think this is just an extension of their plans to make the state the worlds largest Senior Living Community and they want their football coaches to represent that same image.
I don't know about you, but I want my Head Coach to look like he gets lost on his way to the bathroom and drives with his turning signal on for 30 miles on the highway.
"West Virginia University: Where your head coach will write you a birthday check for 7.00"
He cuts out all the newspaper articles of the local "stars" and mails them to Casey Smithson with a threatening note about how if Dana doesn't offer these kids, Doc is going to take over the state.....
Actually I do not want Terry Bowden, but the coach from Ole Miss or the guy from Temple are a good place to start.
expectations were set when we fired a coach for winning 9 games a season. I know the standard come back is we were in the Big East but at what point to we stop making excuses and expect success.
We fired a coach who was unqualified and in over his head. And, if I may add, at the time our expectations were certainly higher than 9 win seasons, as we had one of our best teams ever returning - and sadly, Stewart failed to produce anything of measure. Just because Dana is producing average results doesn't mean Stewart was any better. He inherited a coaches dream and squandered it. Dana, in his defense, inherited some nice individual talent and went out and won a conference championship and a BCS Bowl.
I don't know what our expectations are in the B12, or what Lyons feel is acceptable. I do know you're rooting against WVU, and it's football team just so Dana loses his job and I have a feeling your wishes will be granted. When our next coach only wins 7 games a season, you'll still be on this board trying to raise Stewart from the dead and WVU can have the status of being the only football program in America with a Weekend At Bernie's head coach.
You're free expect whatever you want, but those are just wishes. Wish in one hand, crap in the other and tell me which gets full first.
5150...you are missing the point the DH lover boys are making. It apparently is now all about "cool" and "hip" and "video game style" and not wins and losses. Somehow a 56-42 loss is now better than a 21-17 win.
You wouldn't know something cool and hip if it sat down on your face and wiggled and I doubt Dana would give you the pleasure anyways.
9 games a season on schedules missing nearly any top 25 opponents......
not excuses....................... reality.
The one time Dana played a schedule of equal value, he won 10.
Here are my "expectations"
9+ wins........... we've rebounded from one bad season with 7 wins and then 8. We get to 9 in 2016
Dana is progressing. If the QB doesn't blow off his play call against KSU, we'd have 9 wins last year anyways...

Won't be good enough. You better win every game if you want 5150's support. That man has standards. He wants undefeated seasons with rosters only filled with players from West Virginia.
Darth...you said it best..." I want my Head Coach to look like he gets lost on his way to the bathroom and drives with his turning signal on for 30 miles on the highway." You just didn't realize you were describing your current lover boy HC Dana. We forgive your oversight.
Darth..."You wouldn't know something cool and hip if it sat down on your face and wiggled and I doubt Dana would give you the pleasure anyways." Well...do you enjoy it? LOL
so you don't think having the second most players drafted in the big 12 in relation to wins is a problem. No reason to not expect 9 wins seasons in the league with our talent, but Im sure 7 wins is just fine.
I don't really care where the coach comes from as long as he maximizes the potential of the team with wins and losses. When it comes to NFL draft picks the fact that wvu is 2nd in putting players into the pros from the big 12 since we have been members doesn't exactly endorse the we can't - do better than 7-5 where in the Big 12 now. If you look at rivals recruiting rankings over the past 4-5 years outside of Texas and Oklahoma wvu classes are similar to the majority of the conference and are superior to K State, Iowa state, and Kansas. The Big 12 doesn't stock the NFL with talent so making excuses that we can't win more based on talent doesn't pass the sniff test
Well the amount of players he has put in the pro's over the last 4 years in comparison to wins and losses compared to the rest of the conference seem to indicate underachievement

What does it matter if only a couple of them are from WV? I don't care about NFL talent, I want West Virginia kids to fill the roster because that's the only way we can win. We need to recruit the state and Dana isn't doing a good enough job.
Just the other day I read about a 5'9 205 lbs. Offensive Lineman from McDowell County. The kids got talent and Dana won't even visit him. We will never win if we let kids like him go and Dana spends all his time trying to recruit NFL level players, imo.

Yep, and Joseph was out for most of the season but I'm not sure you're argument is sound. Either way, the fact that you are spinning producing NFL talent as a negative just shows your agenda even more.
If we had no one drafted you'd be raising hell because Dana didn't develop players....you'll never be pleased until Terry Bowden is our coach and we are in the AAC.
My life doesn't change if we win 7 or 9 and I'll support the team either way.
Dana's never put off that image whatsoever. You probably think everyone not from your small town is like that.
