I'd shut down football before bringing back Rich Rod. If you'll accept bringing Rich Rod back then you have zero self-respect.
You claim to be a WVU fan with "self-respect" and wouldn't bring back Rich Rod, but you don't even know who Doc is? How old are you?
I know who Doc Holliday is and that he used to be an assistant at WVU and a HC at Marshall, but I didn't know him by his picture.
Kansas has historically been the worst team since we have been Big 12 members. That will change under Leipold they have the right guy for the job. Kansas was showing signs of getting better towards the end of Last season. They will finish middle of the pack in the Big 12 this year maybe better with a little luck. No excuse for Brown to lose to them but Leipold is an example of what happens when you get the right guy. Brown is the result of 3 straight hires where you failed to get the right guy.
Win 11 straight would be a good start. Other than that I don't care what he does.
Actually WVU had the right guy with the previous coach and then Lyons failed to extend him twice, costing recruits and wins--yet he still finished the last five years with 8 wins per year average--above 8 the last 4.
Already calling one of the best women's coaches a failure? Failure before she coaches a single game?Failure at WVU looks like this
Either you missed the burleywood, you are very young or you aren't a fan.
Plus Pitt is good, they gave up three points in the second half this week playing with a 2nd string quarter back whose could not move due to a high ankle sprain, and if WVU had gotten a few more breaks they beat Pitt, and the loss to Kansas , though not expected was certainly influenced by a loss to a Pitt team that was clearly looking past them for their match-up vs UT.
No they didn't have the right guy. The only reason Holgorsen lasted as long as he did was because of one magical night in Miami with a team that he didn't recruit. Holgorsen failed time and time again not sure what the hell you were watching. Wvu should have moved on from Holgorsen years before they did. Only a fool like you can't see that. Wvu needs a Philosphy like RR not a clown like Holgorsen.
This is the funniest "I wear blinders" post in a long time. Lol
Begging people to not request refunds for football game seats and to donate that money to them.
crap and blamed it on the program and state. Jerk really.
I love it when Bucky said we should have extended Holgorsen twice. The first time he is referring to is after the 2015 season. How many coach's get contract extensions for going 7-5 in year five? That's the type of record that gets most people fired. Then there was the extension that didn't happen in 2018. If Dana wanted an extension then he shouldn't have blown a 17 point lead to a 6-6 Oklahoma State team. The next week he followed that up by Losing to Oklahoma despite scoring 56 points. Then there was that god awful performance against Syracuse in the bowl game. Some these guys think the Orange Bowl was a regular occurrence under his reign. It was nothing more then a vary rare exception.
When Holgorsen was extended it was years after he outdid the coach he replaced with a mix of players he brought in and that remained with him. But he coached and improved them the entire season.
Says the fool that was ok extending Brown after two five win and one six win season.
He won more games than everyone but Nehlen and against the toughest schedules, so it would be you who is delusional.
Here’s the deal with Holgorsen. He’s a brilliant offensive mind. Elite level OC. No doubt about it. He is very undisciplined. For everytime he went for it on 4th down, sometimes (Ex: Texas win) it worked out. And the team won when the odds were against it. Most times, he cost us games that we should’ve won. With a disciplined HC that can manage the impulsive personality of Holgorsen, you can win a NC. He needs someone to reign him in and say, “Stop for a second. Let’s think this through. This is about field position. If it doesn’t work, they are on our own 20 and can score with the next possession. I can’t tell you how many times that cost games where we could’ve kicked a couple field goals and won in the end, or punted away instead of going for it on 4th down. Holgorsen will never win a NC for these reasons alone. Mark my words. I don’t care if a blueblood hires him. Lastly, if he’s soo great, why hasn’t a blood blood school hired him as HC?
He won more games than everyone outside of Nehlen. Had two ten win seasons, lead WVU to a conference championship and major bowl victory in historic fashion. Led WVU into a much more difficult schedule and won at the same % and then better % than WVU football had won historically.
Yet, for the reasons I explained, couldn’t get us over the top and win the Big 12 or win bowl games. And I don’t care about Neal Brown. I never said he was great. Argue that point with someone else.
Holgorsen was four pts from getting WVU into the BIg 12 CCG. Do you understand how difficult that is with schools like Oklahoma, Baylor, OSU, TCU, Texas etc competing with you for that spot? Bill Stewart couldn’t even win the Big East but Holgorsen did- it took numerous years for Holgorsen to refill the roster to play in the BIG 12 and just as he was getting there, Lyons began sabotaging his recruiting playing games with extensions. Holgorsen won as many bowl games as anyone at WVU— so no idea what you are babbling about there- WVU has never fared well in bowls cause players are injured, players leave early and the opponents are usually very good to excellent teams— but Holgorsen got WVU there and won as many as other coaches at WVU.
Holgorsen bowl record at WVU was 2-5. And one of them was his first year with Stewart’s players (Geno, Tavon, Stedman,etc). And Pat White won 4 in a row between Rodriguez and Stewart. No idea what you are talking about lol. And I guess you think Baylor and TCU are historically better programs? They’ve each won the Big 12. TCU was outside the P5 until the Big 12 lol. And your statement WVU was 4 points away from the Big 12 CCG confirms what I said. Almost isn’t good enough.
