Do you think Buck will even be around? According to Rivals Houston just hauled in the 80th best recruiting class while Wvu is currently ranked 29th. So much for that abundance of talent in the space city.

DH can NOT recruit at all. Hot bed like Houston and he ***** the bed on signing day. He’ll be an OC in 4 years

Not really familiar with any of your recruits this year.

Only thing I could say is I thought Neal Brown should pursue Osita Smith.
Guess he is going to Maryland. Thought he would have been a perfect Big 12 player
Was my favorite recruit of yours last year.

Most of Houstons recruiting class are 22 or 23 years old, they played then redshirted as upperclassmen to try and do better next time with an easier schedule

As everyone already knows I am not afraid to give my opinion.

But I don't have an opinion on any of the players except for maybe Okoli.

I checked him out when he committed.
Thought he could play. Think he would be much better as a DB.
Really can't say either way if he has high level upside though.

I truthfully think WVU needs player to buy in. Just as long as they trust their coaches they should be alright.
Neal Brown has a decent staff.

Like I said when you brought Brown over I thought his DL coach was one of the great ones maybe.

He is trying to get Kelvontay Dixon who is an elite athlete.
Dana could promise him touches.

He could be a program changing recruit at the G5 level

DH will try to live off of grad transfers with nothing to build on. The next coach of Houston will have a mess to clean up.

He could be, and at Houston Dana will give him until hes like 27 to do it if need be. Playing in that stupid conference they're gonna be like the benchwarmers, except they get the same amount of players. Maybe with enough ringers Dana can figure something out

You are the one who made Bucky famous.
If you didn't talk about him so much he would be just another poster

For that I say Allen

Plus you argue even when you are wrong.

Maybe I should bump the thread when you said Matt Rhule wasn't a solid coach.

Let me know when you get the truth settled in your mind. Bump away *****. Perhaps I should bump those threads that proves you are KC.

If Rhule was all that why did he not go unbeaten? Why did officiating have to give them a victory over Tech? Why did they have problems beating an offensive dead WVU team?

Proves Big 12 was weak this year. You just don't have he balls to admit it.

Left talent got it. Like a guy giving a girl crabs and herpes and his brother saying well he did leave a baby

James NFL talent? He will need to learn to catch the ball first. Wasn't Dana the HC not the WR coach? I was under the assumption Dana was a QB guru.

The 2018 West Virginia Mountaineers. The Mountaineers featured 20 blue-chip recruits on scholarship, safely above the minimum playoff threshold. Perhaps more importantly, the Mountaineers had at least one blue-chip player active at each position on the roster.

Yet Dana failed as a coach in winning the Big 12. Consistently lost games at the end of the season that could have won the Big 12. The guy could never finish.

Dana first 2 seasons at WVU he inherited one of the best offensive teams in the nation and failed his first year in Big 12. Nearly failed in his first year in Big East. Won his last 3 and needed help just to tie for the Big East Championship. With the team he inherited he should have walked through the Big East.

Dana was always considered a WR coach.

He recruited WR talent to WVU.

He never built a complete team. This doesn't take away from his ability to evaluate WR talent.

Sam James has huge upside.
Esdale does as well.

Keep dreaming troll. He was hired at WVU under the impression he was a QB recruiter and offensive guru.

The guy could never finish strong. Probably why his wife left him.

The fact that idiot could trick a woman into marrying him would make you think hes a good bullshitter so could recruit. Nope. He sure as hell is no finisher. Even with top instate talent that dream of coming here and all that is left is him not to piss his diaper when a big name school shows up, he couldn't do it. What he is is a guy who excels at running somebody else's system with their players while only controlling one position He's not a head coach, certainly not a quality one, and sure as f@#k not a leader.

That was what you thought.

Dana never claimed he was a QB guru.
Case Keenum himself will tell you that he worked with Kliff Kingsbury more than Dana.

He is considered still one of the better offensive coaches because of his ability to open up downfield passing.

He does this by recruiting the right WRs for him system.

Expectations killed Dana like they could Neal Brown.

Dana would have probably won the Big East every year if the conference stayed together

The teams he put together were just as solid as what he had in 2011.
Difference was you weren't playing in the Big East.

If WVU wants success on a smaller stage they can play in the AAC and make a NYD6 bowl game 50%+ of the time.

But WVU as a school and football program wants to be on a bigger stage.

Dana with the best offensive team barley won the Big East. With Dana gone WVU now has that chance for the bigger picture. Dana showed the edge but could never get over it.

He couldn't build a complete team.

A lot of this was based on trying to patchwork a roster together every year to win.

To have hard feelings towards Dana is ridiculous.

1) You don't have anyone to measure him against in the Big 12
2) Neal Brown is probably a better coach at building a team capable of winning

Have no hard feelings against Dana. Just don't like people pumping sunshine up his *** making him the greatest coach on God's green earth.

That's interesting because coaching staffs at places like LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida, Florida State, Penn State, Michigan State, and many, many more knew most of them very well and wanted them at their schools very badly. Appreciate you letting us know how much you know..[thumb2]
