Any other previous coach and AD would have done the same thing that Brown and Lyons did. Every other school would have as well.
Cool...which is why I dont watch WVU football anymore, they ruined it.
Wish them the worst.

Unless you're sitting at the table then you don't know what was actually discussed. Its not like I'd go around quoting message board philosphers who are only speculating what happened. Dana got an extension because he won 10 games. Before that he didn't do anything to deserve one. There are quite a few AD's that would have fired his A$$ after the 2015 season. Everyone tries to postion themselves well before negotiations its part of the business process.Before he won 10 games, Shame tried to poison the well during negotiations, find the information for yourself...it was discussed on this board ad nauseam.
If you aren't aware, then you don't really follow WVU.
Thats your choice then. But why even come here if you don't watch anymoreCool...which is why I dont watch WVU football anymore, they ruined it.

Then call them on the phone cause I'm sure they don't read this board.So I can tell them how much I fvcking disapprove of them...free country
It was a win against a team that was missing half its startersIt was a win. Something that hasn't happened in a bowl game for some time now.
Way too soon for this....MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University Director of Athletics and Associate Vice President Shane Lyons has announced a two-year contract extension for football head coach Neal Brown that will run through the 2026 season.
"Coach Brown and I are committed to the future success of our football program," Lyons said. "I am pleased with the upward trajectory of the program and its culture. Our student-athletes have excelled on the field and in the classroom, and the overall leadership of Mountaineer football is strong."
With four years remaining on the original agreement, the extension now puts Brown under contract for the next six seasons. In total, the six-year contract is worth $23.85 million with an average yearly salary of $3,975,000 million over the length of the six-year deal. Brown also will be eligible to receive increased annual performance incentives, if met, and the salary commitment to his coaching staff has been increased to $4 million.
"I want to thank President Gee, Shane and Keli Zinn for their unwavering support of our football program. I also want to thank our players, coaches and staff for their commitment and dedication to West Virginia University," Brown said. "As we enter year three, I look forward to getting our fans back in the stadium and building on the momentum we have going in our program."
In his second season at West Virginia, Brown led the Mountaineers to a 6-4 record and a victory over Army in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. His team went undefeated at home and produced the first consensus All-American at West Virginia since 2006. Statistically in year two under Brown, West Virginia made the most improvement nationally in total offense and total defense combined than any other team in the country.
OhioTroy was 4-8 in Brown's first year....year three they were 11-2.
WVU was 5-7 in Brown's first year.....he decreased the loss total by three this past season....
Year three....if he decreases the loss total again we will be a 10-win team.
Guy knows how to win bowl games too....a perfect 4-0.

The truth is Brown is 11-11 at WVU and 46-47 overall as a HC and for some reason WVU extended his contract by 2 years--6 years from now. That is odd to say the least. Especially considering they wouldn't extend the previous coach who was doing much better.So board posts are ironclad truths? Really?
You're just blowing smoke out your ass. How did shane try to sabotage Dana? The fact is until Dana produced a 10 win season he had no leverage. There are many AD's across the country that would have fired him after 2015.Sorry, I'm smart and can actually think for myself. Shame got worked and that's a fact.
Shame was scared to pay DH's buyout and fire him, so he tried to sabotage him in the public, then DH came in with a 10 win season...those are the FACTS. Lurch tried to play poker and lost his hand..
Shame looked silly and everyone but his ball-washers know it.
Yeah and WVU was missing key defensive players and offensive linemen. Take your excuse bag and shove it where the sun don't shine.It was a win against a team that was missing half its starters
If Neal Brown wins more than 4 games in year 3 he will be doing better than Dana didThe truth is Brown is 11-11 at WVU and 46-47 overall as a HC and for some reason WVU extended his contract by 2 years--6 years from now. That is odd to say the least. Especially considering they wouldn't extend the previous coach who was doing much better.
If we would have played Florida State and Maryland he could have been 13-12 and finished with a 7-6 season which was the Dana special.People can spin 11-11 overall all they want, he dodged a bullet with Oklahoma or he would have been 11-12 more than likely, his offense is one dimensional, he hasn't shown the ability to develop an offensive line.
He has a bottom tier bowl win against a triple option service academy with restrictions on how heavy their players can be, he needed Kendall to bail him out in that game, his play calling and game planning is on a Stewart level, his team's play undisciplined, his team's don't execute.
Great for the Brown crowd! Celebrate and rejoice. Fact. If he wins less than 7 games this season and struggles to do that his seat is on fire.
Lol at any waterhead calling someone a troll who dare question the decision to extend a .500 coach. L
Not sure people saw what he had to work with the first 2 years. Personally saw extension not happening until next year but I guess they wanted to get ahead of the game. Not sure what the buyout is but if he leaves in December I think it's a little over 5 million.Not exactly thrilled about this. Curious about the buyout stipulations for both sides. Brown has potential, but I'm not sure his performance in the first 2 years warrant an additional 6 year commitment from the University.
They won't fire him until year 5 if it comes to that. This is when the team will be 100% his recruits and majority will be seniors. Unless some blue blood decides they need some of our players.People can spin 11-11 overall all they want, he dodged a bullet with Oklahoma or he would have been 11-12 more than likely, his offense is one dimensional, he hasn't shown the ability to develop an offensive line.

WVU nationally averages 6 wins a year since football began for them. WVU has only won 10 games 3 times in regular season since going to 12 games. Those 11 win teams by Rod Fraud were because of Bowl wins. Same For Holgs first season.How far the program has fallen. A message board discussing the definition of success...at 7 wins out of 12...and merits of a long term contract extension for a coach averaging 5.5 wins a season. Welcome to the definition of mediocre.
NOT. DH won 10 games year 1, won the Big East and crushed Clemson in a major bowl. Year two he moved WVU into a new tougher conference and still won 7 games.If Neal Brown wins more than 4 games in year 3 he will be doing better than Dana did
Or he would have lost to both and been even worse--much more likely.If we would have played Florida State and Maryland he could have been 13-12 and finished with a 7-6 season which was the Dana special.

A guy who is 11-11 overall, 9-11 vs FBS, and 7-10 in the Big XII Conference with no MARQUI/Statement wins after 2 seasons gets a 2 year contract extension with 2 years left on the current contract for that level of success? WOW?????? Not playing/losing to Oklahoma in 2020 because the game was canceled due to COV19 was probably a 2 year bonus for Brown. COV19 benefitted him.
I didn’t know Shane Lyons was using the Phil Fulmer guide to being an AD with a football coach’s contract extension. Jeremy Pruitt after 2 seasons was 13-12 overall, 11-12 vs FBS, and 7-8 in conference. After an embarrassing and dismal 3-7 in year 3 and a recruiting scandal (which Tennessee knew nothing about in years 1 & 2 ——Wink Wink Nod Nod), Pruitt was Fired!
The only positive for me I see from this is it all but guarantees the Dick down in LA will be less likely to sneak his way back in for a 2.0 run. Then again after this season which I think won’t be above 0.500, it may mean a house cleaning sooner if it’s a total disaster. I hope Lyons is canned more than Brown and not just for this but this is a stupid financial decision/commitment.
Universities and Government have to be amongst the dumbest places where financial decisions are made. Well there and the guaranteed contracts in pro sports.
Won 9 regular season games. Won Bowl game to finish 10-3. Finished in 3 way tie in Big Least at 5-2 thanks to upsets in the final 2 weeks. He backed into the Orange Bowl. Luckily he had Bill Stewart's team from previous year and was able to dominate Clemson.NOT. DH won 10 games year 1, won the Big East and crushed Clemson in a major bowl. Year two he moved WVU into a new tougher conference and still won 7 games.
Your math is off.
Only one's leaving and running scared are former Holgorsen players who don't want to work hard. don't see anyone praising mediocre. That is your lame excuse.Brown hasn't proved jackshit here. Cant keep players. Doesnt have control of the team. Revolving door of coaches. WOKE wannabe. Mediocre results and a lot of fans that think the Yugo was a great car.
You are clueless and have no knowledge.Or he would have lost to both and been even worse--much more likely.
With the players that Bill Stewart left him and playing in the Big East. It would have been nice If Dana would Left Geno Tavon and Stedman.Except Dana had had a previous 10 win season and a blowout Orange Bowl victory.
Doubt it we would have more than likely won the FSU game and that would have given us a 7-6 season which was the typical Holgorsen season.Or he would have lost to both and been even worse--much more likely.
Im talking just about year 3 . So I am going to ask you for the 2nd time If Neal Brown wins more than 4 games and beats Kansas would that be a successful season?NOT. DH won 10 games year 1, won the Big East and crushed Clemson in a major bowl. Year two he moved WVU into a new tougher conference and still won 7 games.
Your math is off.
