[QUOTE="wbgvwbgv, post: 129416537, member: 1417056"] Waiting a few weeks probably won't hurt anything, but the last thing that Shane Lyons should do is delay the extension beyond the end of November which would have the following negative consequences: 1. Hurt recruiting needlessly. 2. Encourage other schools to consider making a play for Holgorsen. 3. Prompt the coaching staff to explore other options. 4. Force Dana to deal with rumors negatively affecting the program and players. Unlike the silliness on a free message board (Saban, RR, Tressel, Muhammad Ali, etc.), Shane Lyons is the one who would have to hire Dana's replacement if he leaves. One wrong hire could turn WVU into another Kansas (and A.D.s who do that don't last very long) plus the trolls and low information fans will still want to fire the new coach after every loss. IMO there is still a lot of up side with our current coaching staff. They can't consistently beat top 10 teams yet, but with a few more play makers they just might get there some day.
