My original post ITT:
“He wouldn’t win, that’s the biggest problem. People act like Brown didn’t have a better resume coming from that level of football. 10 win seasons in FCS, Sun Belt, etc means nothing for a coach’s P5 outlook. It has been 10 years since his last flirtation with P5 relevance, his last great season at WVU might as well have happened in a different sport given the landscape changes since.”
My original response to you:
“We won an Orange Bowl 2 staffs removed from Rod and were a terrible personal foul call away from the Big XII title game long after his time. The Neal Brown years are the only time this program has been objectively bad for a sustained period of 4+ years under a coaching staff since the 70s, we don’t have to go dumpster diving for a coach who is also 0 for 2 in breaking 20 points against D1 competition this year because he was great for a short period of time with a QB he initially had on the bench behind Adam Bednarik well over a decade ago.”
Never once claimed he was not good at WVU. We got into it a little later about why WVU ascended in the Big East, but that is hardly the core argument. The main point here is RR, without Pat White, has mediocre power conference results as a coach. He hasn’t replicated any of his WVU success. If you want to create another fake argument of me saying he sucked at WVU, go for it, you can go jerk yourself off.
