Re: When the history of WVU sports is written ...

Reagan was one of the worst Presidents ever for millions of Americans despite the god like status some have given him for ? Reagan weakened America in many ways. Besides this isn't a political board.

With EP WVU would still be in the AAC and out of the major leagues. Luck went out and got WVU -with the assistance of people like Nehlen--into the P5. EP never made any moves to move WVU up into different conferences. That doesn't mean he didn't do some good things, but he wasn't an AD on Luck's level that had national respect and was a mover and a shaker.

When RR was hired he was just an up and coming Offensive Coordinator and WVU wasn't playing in the BIG 12 either. WVU gave him his first major HC opportunity near his home, so it wasn't some amazing coup.

Re: Rich Rod was a moron who got lucky and left..

Hmmm. Guess Rod is just "getting lucky" again in Arizona. Won 10 games last year. That man sure is lucky I'll tell you lol. Listening to some wv boneheads you would think the man can't recruit either, players just fall into his lap and develop themselves while they're here. They even make his offense for him. Seriously, put down the bong, remove your finger from your butt, and learn to respect and understand quality coaching.

Re: Pastiong bungled Huggs hire then hired Dakich .. Hardesty hired Beilien ..

Pastilong also bungled the jimbo Fischer hire. Pastilong had no vision, he was a lapdog like Furfari for some foolish influential people like Raese who keep the program down for their own personal interests. WV people live in a bubble clueless to the real world that surrounds them. The state suffers for this.
