I'll start.
Lets talk about the fanbase; one who has a reputation for turning sour on Head Coaches.
In fact, lets name a single coach that left WVU to become a revered, "statue-outside-the-stadium" worthy figure after departing the program.
WVU has no Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, or even a Frank Beamer in its history....and no National Title to show either....
Coincidence ? ...I think not.
EVERY. SINGLE. HEAD COACH. EVER. has been run outta town after a few middling 6 or 7 or 8 win seasons.
In the Circles of Coach Talk and in the off-season golf games the word gets out: The WVU job is a "get it while you can" job of shorter duration...( No wonder Holgerson took
years to finally buy a house )... just a mid-level temporary stop for some Big Contract Cash and a cup of coffee...then quickly pack your shit and get the hell outta town before The Fanbase kills your pets and burns your house down.
Now thats the UGLY reputation that WVU has grown...sure, youse people will find a guy..no doubt...but whoever accepts the job will always be looking for the next move up...even if its to a G5 school. ( rotflmao ! )
There will never be a Head Coach statue of ANYONE outside Mountaineer Field.
Signed,
Reality.
