One of the most important parts of being a head coach is the ability to put together a quality staff that can develop players and bring in SOME talent. For teams that aren't OSU, Bama, Clemson etc. the weight on that scale has to be shifted to development because you aren't going to win on talent alone. Our recruiting classes have been "better" but talent development has been bad. We are not going to out-talent Oklahoma and Texas and such. WVU needs to be about player retention and development within a system.
We will never be top 10 recruiting but we can be top 10 in talent development with quality staff.
Dual threat QB (at least able to run for a 1st) takes pressure off of OL and is able to turn broken plays into a first down. Forces the defense to spy and react. DCs hate mobile QBs, defend everything perfectly and still give up a first down.
Head Coach needs some balls and is able to instill a culture of toughness. Watching us barely touch a guy going into the end zone makes me sick. If Someone is going to score, light his ass up at the goalline. Even if we suck, I want teams to think 'shit we have to play WVU this week' and not salivate at the opportunity for stats and playing against a soft team.
If a coach proves he can't develop talent and isn't the extra hire for ace recruiter, FIRE HIM. Allowing mediocrity in the staff allows mediocrity on the field. I'm looking at you Sean Reagan.
Willingness to try unique sets. It seems a new system comes about every few years and stops everyone or scores on everyone. Be willing to experiment.
TLDR: Poster discovers BOLD button and bitches about what he thinks WVU needs.
