[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131867948, member: 1476288"] WVU has never been a top recruiting program, we relied on quality schemes, player development, significant % of starting 22 are upperclassmen, & unique skillsets that pose a challenge to opponents. The 2019 team was one of the youngest teams in ALL of D1, not only was it young, but also one of the least talented in the last 20 years at WVU. Thats a recipe for disaster... With such significant issues with the roster, its impossible to clearly identify or apply blame... Obviously the staff can improve, but I think its a 80/20 or 90/10 split.... 80% is on the roster & 20% is on the staff. Im optimistic(Because of his record elsewhere and the level of talent he is bringing to Morgantown before even showing results on the field), but Im also a realist, I think every coach deserves to be able to coach a team made up entirely of their recruits before a change is made to the HC, unless its a blatant under performing scenario like Jeremy Pruitt or Willie Taggert situation... Again, if Doege doesnt make those horrendous mistakes, we would not even be discussing this.. This isnt a situation where DH recruited top 30, 25, 20, or 15 classes for the 3-4 previous years before NB arrived, and NB is under performing relative to talent & experience. Technically speaking, hes outperforming relative to recruiting based expectations. If at the end of the 2023 season we dont see significant improvement, Ill be the first to say its time to move on. If you want an accurate opinion or perspective, you have to look at all the variables and not just Wins & Losses. While thats ultimately the bottom line in the end, I still think we have a couple seasons before we reach "the decision"... We could very well move on, and like you said perhaps NB builds a better foundation for the next staff that take us to higher highs... MY optimism is not to be confused with blind loyalty... Im loyal to WVU, not NB... If 2023 comes and goes and we are seeing a similar level of offensive issues, ie we dont see an equal level of scheme & concept creativity relative to the improvement of talent & experience, then YES.... We likely need to move on. I disagree with your sentiment about Austin Kendall & DH.... Our OL & WR's were far worse then, compared to how they are now... Austin, like NB, stepped into an impossible situation to be successful. The youth was at almost every position.. Colton was the only good+experienced player on that offense. Scheme only goes so far, esp with significant limitations, and trying to play to the strength of the team to provide the highest probability of positive outcomes, which may organically reduce offensive productivity due to the strategy deployed. ALL IM SAYING: Let NB coach a team he recruited & built before we make a decision on his quality or if we need to withdraw support. Lets make sure we are making the best decision possible for the program. [/QUOTE]
