[QUOTE="eerdoc, post: 132136907, member: 1071764"] Largely a list of losers. WOW. Who would even bd brzve enough to compile z list containing Edsall and Graham. Addazio dlso seems well below borderline. Whst is history on McElwain? Pros? Better off sticking with whom we have already. To those so ‘gung-ho’ to boot NB. Consider: Doubtful we attract a seasoned, successful HC. Great chance that a VERY LATGE PORTION of our young talent pool hits the portal. Doubt we hang on to a substantial % of those currently committed for next year New coach may have difficulty attracting top rung assistants for a variety of reasons—chief among them may be our tendency/reputation (?) as an unreasonable/ difficult to please band of self impressed/vocal “football experts” that an undesirable atmosphere in which to work. WVU may not be an overly attractive destination (especially for one who might, otherwise, be looking for a long term relationship because of the significant uncertainty regarding the future of WVU athletics ( football & basketball in particular) because of conference affiliation. Recruiting by a new staff generally suffers because if a number of factors. There may bd several more reasons that ‘booting’ NB would do little but make those at the forefront of the “head hunting” feel they won- woopee!!! There are so many reasons for retaining NB. We are NOT a bad team, and he is NOT the horrible leader that some are trying to portray him as. We need to cool our jets and shut down the negativism. Our football program IS M U C H better than when NB arrived and improved over his teams of the past few years. [/QUOTE]
