When HCNB's contract was extended through the 2027 season....

It was reduced. Time to use it. He's had plenty of time to show what he can do.
I agree. Unless he drastically pulls it together, changes his style and beats some top 25 teams this year, it’s past time to make a change. The program is stale, boring, and underachieving. The numbers don’t lie. Going into year 6, is the program better, the same, or worse since Brown took over? It’s definitely not better. And it’s debatable if it’s the same or worse than the day Holgorsen left. My personal opinion is worse, but it could go either way of the same or worse. At least Holgorsen had some exciting moments and could beat ranked teams.
My opinion is that it is worse as well. And it's really not even as much about wins and losses to me when comparing him to holgs. It is about having an entertaining, exciting team at all. Wvu is totally boring under Neal brown compared to Holgs. He's had plenty of time to display this.
Under Holds, it was "we're going to score 50.....can you score 51"
It was increased if we we fired him before this season. Minimally reduced if we fire him at the end of this year. Moderately reduced if we fire him at the end of the year after.
The percentage of the buyout was reduced but his total salary was increased so the buyout, at the end of the day, is a higher dollar value, despite what was put out there by university PR.
Strike 1 by Wren Baker. Brown did not deserve an extension after his fist decent season. It was ridiculous to do it. Baker will lose the fan base if he keeps this dud much longer. I can't count the number of people at the psu game who are totally done with brown. This is the most boring wvu has been in 40+ years and he has only a few fans left who support him.
Last year was an enigma. The perfect storm for Brown. An exceptionally weak schedule and Brown won 8 games in the regular season somehow by not beating a team with a winning record. To add a more unlikely event, 20+ UNC players, including their future star NFL Quarterback sat out the bowl. Translation, WVU and Baker were backed into a corner. Add in the ridiculous buyout, Ken Kendrick’s stamp of approval, were they really gonna fire Brown after improving to 9-4 with a bowl win? No. However, Stranger things have happened (see Bill Stewart dismissal).

So I saw where Neil wants to get out the Alabama series. What a display of confidence from our manly coach 😆 🤣
If we don't end this ridiculous experiment, we will be looking at a move to the MAC just to try and stay competitive at all.
