[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129392105, member: 1428007"] Holgorsen beat Briles in 2 of the 5 contests--last year soundly. Hardly makes Briles a better coach. Briles is a good coach--and he's also blessed with being in possibly the number one recruiting territory in the nation while WVU is in about the most difficult position in the majors in that regard. He also has something you are hoping to take from WVU and that is time in the coaching seat. Briles went 4-8, 4-8, and 7-6 prior to getting things going with RGIII btw. If he were at WVU he'd have been booted before any possible success. Holgorsen is regarded as one of the top offensive minds in the country by about everyone except the negative nellies here that want to blow everything up because they want to dismiss all the major changes WVU has gone through and the level of depth and talent on the roster. Everyone wants to win right now, but one also has to be realistic about the situation. The BIG 12 is an extremely tough football conference. WVU has lost to two undefeated top 25 teams--one in overtime and one ranked in the top two or three--on the road. A third is a historical power, the game was there, they are top 15 and have but one loss in season to another BIG 12 power. No one can work miracles and WVU needs to continue recruiting and recruiting better to move up the food chain regardless of the coach. [/QUOTE]
