Wvu just landed one of the hottest young DCs in the game. Stole him from a blue blood team and the mega monster sec conference. This is beyond what Neal could've even imagined or desired. Wvu is a legit football program that can land good and popular coaches as long as we pay the going rate. Those who doubted that are in for a big awakening over the next few years.
I like this hire, Casteel, not so much. But I support all that wear the WV so I will stomach it.
I just bet one of many anti Brown, pro-RR $100 at 6 wins for 2025. 6 is a push. Others wouldn't take the bet even though they were pretty confident of a winning season next year. I hope I lose but am pretty confident I won't until we build the roster with plenty of depth

As strange as this sounds I hope he’s crazy successful in the first couple years and gets a head coaching job. It’s inevitable that will happen if so. So we might as well root for this scenario.
Dude has very minimal experience and has been a GA for over twice as long as he's been a DC. Only 1 year in P4 and that as a co-DC on a team where the head coach is basically the true DC. Not on any "hot" lists or "best DC" lists. If OU wanted him that bad they would have made it happen. They just feel slighted by a coach leaving their program to go to one they perceive as inferior. Alley probably saw the writing on the wall with Venebals likely being fired within the next year or so and jumped ship. No other programs were knocking down the door trying to get this guy.
That’s actually not true. Oklahoma tried to keep him. You can try and downplay this, but it’s actually a huge win for WVU and Rodriguez.
I like this hire and despite what others might think of Casteel I like that hire as well. The more knowledge you have in the program the better and folks like Casteel and Bicknell have a wealth of it. I’m excited to see how things progress from here.
He's the best coach on the OU staff. Their fans know it and are in total meltdown mode. You are butthurt and a known RR hater so of course youll down play it, and troll Alley like the class idiot. It is what it is. You have the worst insider sources and some of the worst takes online but every fan base needs some court gesture types for entertainment so it is what it is.
Yep. If he works out the way we want him to, he won't be here long. I'm definitely rooting for this.
