10 win seasons

Good for Dana. I'm happy and I am optimistic about the future.
But it wasn't that many years ago that college football teams only played 10 game seasons. And it was even less years ago (2006) that 11 was the norm. More games means more opportunities for wins.
Nevertheless .... a very good season! Coaches and players are to be congratulated.
And we're going to make a very serious run at the B12 champions in the not too distant future.

winning 10 of 12 = 83% winning percentage.
10 of 11 = 91%
9 of 11 = 82%
And, obviously, 9 of 10 = 90% and 8 of 10 = 80%.
Somebody else can go back and look at all of the 10 and 11 game seasons.

Impressive for sure.
Also didn't exactly impress in today's game. ...and didn't seem emotionally inspired like we've seen a couple times this season. ...but then... ..the contract was all it done.
Yes he is.
And for anyone who wants to figure out the winning percentage for all of the 10 and 11 games seasons you can go to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_West_Virginia_Mountaineers_football_seasons
I will let Dana know that he needs to do a better job of emotionally inspiring you...meanwhile, in the real world....WVU is 10-2, 15-3, and Dana has a new agreement worth $18 million.
Some folks win in life, some folks *****...
Watch his postgame presser. He said he had a headache and looks like he was run over by a truck.
I'll go out on a limb and say that he is sick.

Great job by the coaches and team despite a difficult schedule.
On to a win is n the bowl and even better things in the future!
Hurdy- find another team, you obviously don't care for a successful WVU.

10 wins and not a significant victory. If Gibson were head coach we would have 11 and a sugar bowl berth or possible 12 and a playoff berth. Holgorsen was exposed against the only decent teams he played and our reward is a table scrap bowl game against an 8-4 has been Miami program.
Loss against Oklahoma State
WVU 421 yards 20 points
Oklahoma State 358 yards 37 points
Loss against Oklahoma
WVU 579 yards 28 points
Oklahoma 485 yards 56 points
Why do those stats suggest "Dana's offense" did its part in the losses but "Gibson's defense" didn't?
Hey Darth I have been here all along. You and me are the same person we share the same house, same wife even though she likes it when my side is out, same lousy travelling donuts salesmen job. You should have listened when I told you 9 wins was possible instead of making excuses. Don't worry when my prediction for the 2017 season comes out im sure they will be listening. BTW i did keep the board warm for us the week you were in hiding after the Oklahoma game.
Hey ColoradoMountaineer ... tell us the story again about how Dana will only get at best a 2-3 year extension with a small bump in his salary.
It is a small bump in pay 3.5million topping out at 4 nothing like the 5 million some on here where claiming. The buyout is the same in year 3 as in year 5 so its not a guaranteed contract like you stated.
It's a $700,000 raise and the contract goes out for five years. A 20% raise is not a "small bump."
What is the definition of small bump? There are allot of coaches making more than 3.5 in the power 5. If wvu terminated him after 2018 he would be owed the same amount of money that he would have been owed after last season . Where is all the guaranteed money? where is his 5 million dollar contract? where are all the job offers? 3.5 mil is chump change for a power five coach.
This thread has now gone completely whacko . ...why some insist on turning this into some Dana vs Gibby plot is completely asinine . Grow up.
10 win seasons use to mean something. Now, they just get you a bowl game vs an unranked opponent.
IMO, the team deserves better. Nobody is saying WVU is a top 4 team. Nobody is saying that WVU is a world beater. But achieving 10 wins should at the very least get you a ranked opponent

Who said he'd make $5mil? Only seven coaches make at least $5mil. Most everyone I saw give an opinion said $3.5mil to $4mil. There are 25 coaches making more than $3.5mil. Holgorsen is paid more than most P5 coaches.
Good post, but Clarence Spears coached the 1922 team that played in the East-West Bowl.
You waited four years to finally work up the nerve to post something and your went with this?
You tell us what a "small bump" is. You're the one who said that would be all that he gets. I think a raise in the neighborhood of 20% is not a small bump.
Could he have gotten more but stressed that he wanted his staff taken care of? It's possible.
You need to quit citing other people's extreme predictions. There were threads in which people were predicting 3.5 and you countered by saying he would only get a small bump in salary.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled posting in which you are the only one who believes what you post ... have at it and pat yourself on the back while trying to convince yourself that you were right all along when darn near everyone knows that you are a knucklehead.
Your serve. And it will be the last serve of this match.
This year it means that we are going to a decent bowl with a shot of finishing in, or very near, the Top Ten.
But yeah ..... other than that .... it doesn't mean much.
Its a small bump 3.5 mil is not bad but not great by power 5 standards. You said guaranteed contract 5-6 years and this contract is not guaranteed. There is a buyout clause in each year and by year three it drops below what it would have cost to buy him out last season. The contract is higher pay but less security. I was right and you were wrong knucklehead
