Besides "Wins", What does RR success depend on?
I think it is his Defensive Coordinater. I am really, really hoping he hires a good one.

RR Success Depends On......What?
- Thread starter WVU_98
- Start date
Every team needs a good QB to start with. A DC would no doubt be a huge plus but you got to have that QB.
Yes, he needs good assistant coaches and I have faith he will assemble the staff he wants. But he needs players. They play the game. And it is not just 22 but rather to be a great team year in and out, you need depth. That is something WVU hasn't had since RR and Bill Stewart regimes.
The DC hire is going to be huge but before anything else we need to see those big donors step up with NIL money. Without it, no one is going to have a lot of success.
The new DC won’t be much good with out good talent in the defensive backfield and a good DB coach. To me, QB consistency and coverage of opponents WRs are our biggest needs. Finally, we need a new PK.
I was agree with this. These days $$$$ is the biggest issue. May not like it but it is. Having Mcafee on our side will help tremendously!!
Rich has friends wth very deep pockets. If they'll step up he should have a much better chance of landing some quality talent.
There are many factors that will affect his liklihood of success. But seeing as he is an offensive minded coach and the offensive prowess of the team still flows through the offensive line, I think O-line coach will be his biggest ally in the struggle ahead. 5 Zach Fraziers/Wyatt Milums are not likely to fall into his lap like they would for Saban, so he is going to need a guy who can form a zone blocking scheme with guys that are not quite NFL talent. A good strength and conditioning coach will be helpful in this regard as well.
I think RR's initial success has already happened -- WVU is now part of the national conversation and that's been missing for a while now. Hopefully, he'll continue to build upon that and bring people back to the stadium.... So, to answer your question, success in 2025 will be equated to the number of butts in the seats.
