How is Neal Brown not fired yet? I mean Colorado went out and got Deion Sanders and we got Ned Flanders, WTF?

With only 2 games remaining, it makes no sense firing him before the season ends. Better off waiting until the end of the season amd conducting a full scale national search.
A lot of coaches are winding up their seasons and concentrating on conference championship and a bowl appearance. Why rush a decision and possibly not get the best candidate? Unless we are gonna hire a HC not currently employed (Ex: Jimbo Fisher), it doesn’t make sense. Would firing Neal Brown and promoting his assistants as interim HC to finish the season make anything better?
I would argue that by firing him now, and finding the new head coach and staff, the university (AD) and future coaches can get a jumpstart on keeping our best players from hitting the portal. By keeping Brown until after the season (January 1st), we lose 2 months. So I guess those couple extra millions would be worth it, plus it isn't WVU's money anyways, and if the donors want him gone, they'll pony up and not complain.
