Looking back

Rich Rod's best win was against Georgia in The Sugar Bowl. He had wins against ranked teams but Georgia was the best program he beat. We don't need to talk about the bad losses.


Stewart's best win was against OKLAHOMA in The Fiesta Bowl. He had a few decent wins against programs who are now considered mediocre. And again Stewart had a few really bad losses.

Dana has wins over Clemson who is currently #1. Baylor twice who is a top 10 program. Oklahoma State twice who is a top 10-15 program. TCU who is a top 10-15 program. Texas who is TEXAS we all know about Texas. And other wins against programs who are just as good as any program Rich Rod or Stewart beat on a consistent basis. Dana also has a couple bad losses on his resume but came in rebuilding/transitioning years to the Big12.

Stewart and Rich Rod never had a rebuilding year nor did they face the challenge of changing conferences going from a Mid Major type conference to a P5 conference.

Honestly this settling for mediocrity talk is garbage. Dana has been the most successful coach at WVU since Nehlen based on the competition and challenges he has faced.

Stewart beat OK with RRods team... ...no way he does it with a team he prepared for an entire season.

......and isn't it interesting that a shitty BE team beat a top Big 12 team... ...yet many people excuse our recent records because we're now playing in a tougher conference ?

The stars aligned perfectly for drod w/ white Slaton and Owen in an average BE. He hasnt experienced that type of success on a consistent basis since leaving and probably never will. Dana has faced a much tougher schedule week in and week out. He needs to figure out the qb position until wvu becomes a serious contender for the big 12 title.
