Ok, realistically Brown won’t be fired for this performance. He will be given this season to succeed or fail….is it remotely possible that donors will force a mid-season change at DC? How do you justify keeping the dude after giving up a td on 2nd and 30 in the same season, just two games after giving up a td before the half against Penn State like we did? Zero lessons learned, zero adjustments made. This team is getting torched through the air.

We lost to Penn State at home, and Pitt........no matter what else he can do this year, this season is NOT A SUCCESS. Sorry. Gotta beat your rivals.
Neal is the head coach, Good head coaches when up 10 points late in the game, and the opponent facing a 2nd and 30, would make sure his defensive coaches understand that under no circumstances should a receiver get behind the DB's. That's now happened twice in three games.
I would venture to say by losing this game, 6 wins is not even obtainable, BUT, if we ran the table, I would take it.
On table being run will be the picnic table neal is eating at during bowl season, while he watches from his backyard.
WVU DC Jordan Lesley Deactivates Social Media Following Loss to Pitt
West Virginia defensive coordinator Jordan Lesley has been hearing it from the Mountaineer fanbase since the start of the season, but really over these past two
Something I could never understand. Why go away from something that is working?
From the mid point of the second quarter on, but especially the third, WVU was playing some good defense.
It can even be argued all the way up to the 5 minute mark of the 4th.
The stats would bear this out as it seemed Spitt could do nothing. Maybe a play here or there but nothing consistent.
Then, as usual, things go downhill.
2nd and 30 and you don't blitz to make them throw underneath?
They had them in these kind of positions (2nd and 3rd and LOONNGG) several times and allowed big plays. Making your weakness (your corners) play and cover for longer periods?
Then, when you drop into what they did, you get the concrete shoes and never find a player in your zone to cover - just allowing easy chunk passes and QB runs because you've never gotten your head on a swivel?
No matter how you cut it up, this is just bad football. These are mistakes you would expect from a JV high school team. Not WVU...
But, it may even could be excused if it was a one-off type of deal. But, the mistakes WVU makes happen repeatedly, year after year. It's like playing roulette - you spin the wheel to see what type of stupid mistake(s) will be made this week. Will it be the one from week 1 or two years ago?
