You hop on a plane. Say thanks for dedicating your lives to my team. Say you're sorry it didn't work out. Explain that we couldn't agree on a contract extension. Tell them you care about them. Get back on said plane.
Coulda done it today. Awkward, sure. Logistically hard, sure. Or use a video setup. At least send a mass text. If a coach did that to me, I'd be pissed.The players were at home.
The University was on winter break.

Dana is no longer an employee of the university.
Brown was on campus today and addressed the team for the first time. No point of having old coach hanging around. Ive heard he did send a team text message.
Thats life. The players will be fine. As a young guy I wouldnt give a crap if a coach said bye to me.
I'm not a tender heart.
You are literally wrong on every issue discussed on this board.
In short, Dana probably heard about all the the stuff Coach Brown was doing at a place he spent 4 years and felt like a douche. Letter to the paper was a poor make up move.
Truly whatever. We picked up someone who seems to legitimately care. Hopefully he doesn’t lose that quality.
What was he suppose to do, charter a plane and fly to every players home to say goodbye?
Nope. This was coming for a couple weeks. He had time to do this right.
Seeing his decision coming in the form of him holding a Red Bull with Houston gear on is a major douche move.
Even if he couldn’t meet with the team, he should have announced his departure to the team and WVU fans before that horseshit. The letter he sent was fine...just a few days late. Classic PR makeup move.
Nothing could happen until Jan 1.
You guys are soft tender hearts....validate me with a goodbye, good grief.
Make me feel special like I'm the only fan you'll ever love....hold me.
Especially considering every party seemed ready to move on, from the administration to coaching staff to fanbase and possibly even the players.Dana is no longer an employee of the university.

I tend to think he is one of your better posters.
One of the dumbest. His posts typify an immature 14 year old living in mommy’s basement. Never played organized sports and never studied very hard to educate himself.
Hmmm, many of the seniors knew Dec 29? I would find that surprising given the timeline .Regardless, that's hardly addressing the whole team. A group text makes me feel much better. However, I truly hope he sent it out as individual messages so everyone's phone was not going berserk. And, yes, I will criticize anyone if they are solidly inappropriate.75% of the team scattered home with parents after the game since school was on break. Very few players rode plane back to Morgantown. Dana and many of the Seniors stayed in Orlando and played golf the next day as final goodbye. He called some and group texted all. Penned a heartfelt letter in the paper. Water over the dam now. But don’t miss a chance to criticize him one last time.

Personally I couldn’t give a shit. I was over his act a while ago.
He could have sent that to the local papers at any point after he signed. He waited at least 2 days.
His attitude says more about him and what he values than anything negative about WVU or its fans.
Edit: it was more like 4-5 days...
You've complained for years you wanted him fired and now youre mad he didn't say goodbye quick enough?
Lol....Brown is in for the same thing. You guys are incapable of being satisfied.
His attitude has been totally professional. As has Shanes. Everything is fine....time to cut the rage machine.
The way he left is due to the reasons I wanted him fired...lack of character, discipline and ownership. Those traits were reflected in his team. We became to “cool” to gut out wins.....just like Dana.
If our team plays hard and improves as the year progresses ( do you remember the last time we did that, because that seems like eons ago), then I will have no issues with Coach Brown. Copy and paste this and use it as a quote on all your posts for all I care. I won’t worry about the wins and loses.
What you don’t get is that when we finally prepare and play like that, the wins will eventually take care of themselves.
You got me....im insecure.
I've heard one of us ALMOST walked on to a team one time 40 years ago.
A proper goodbye...good grief.
Thanks for displaying your stupidity again. That wasn’t me. Wrong poster.
It was owed to the team. You might want to check into what a bunch of our former players thought of the guy. Pretty interesting.
I know it wasn't.
But you fit the Al Bundy, 4 touchdowns in a single game mold just as good.
