WV has the talent and the name to win a lot of games in the Big 12.
Pretty much Oklahoma State since the divisons went away and TCU since they came into the league.

I never attack West Virginia....

I will play the Devil's Advocate...

Oklahoma St has Mike Gundy. Even though some in Stillwater dislike him Gundy is a Top 15 football coach.
Gary Patterson might be even better.

Neal Brown and his staff have a lot of work to do.
The coaches and staff in the SunBelt are not the same as the Big 12.

Anyone can look like the star student in a remedial class...
But put him with some of the coaches and staff in the Big 12.

There was a reason why Mike Gundy loses assistants all the time.

A lot of these coaches in the Big 12 are doing the same thing...
If not they won't last long in the profession.

Neal Brown has already coached in the Big 12....

To think he is going to be great when the facts prove otherwise is delusional.

Let him coach a few games before you put these crazy expectations on him
Who knows how he will be as a HC in the Big 12.

The great word was for the team said by Brown himself. "We are going to be great" He meant this for the future. But a troll like yourself uses this underlining thing that you know something to be able to pull a slight of hand at attacking WVU and their coaches.

Banning you and your 30 other profiles would be the best thing this board could do.

It is all talk...

A coach would say that for two reasons.

To please the media and fans
Or
To motivate the players.

To say Neal Brown hasn't proven anything is not attacking anyone. It is the truth.

You can look at it anyway you want...
Truthfully it gives Brown protection for this year.

If it was true he wouldn't have to tell the media.

All coaches say that.
Very few coaches will say...

We aren't any good and will never be.

Who knows what we will happen.

Like I said.

I would wait a few games before putting expectations on Neal Brown.
This high mark will only come back to hurt Neal Brown later.

Last year Dana Holgersen signed his death wish....

Because people kept asking when WV was going to be great. Dana thought that was his team and he pretty much risked his job on Will Grier.

Dana might end up a failure at Houston.
Who knows.

But Neal Brown is being put in the same position.
When is WV going to be great?

I think people around the program need to get their check books out.
Maybe if your boosters throw 50-100 million into the football program you can ask for greatness.

But WV ran a deficit last year and it became about money.
Dana and his staff weren't worth the price.

Like I said I see if the big money people around WV threw truck loads of cash the expectations would be expected..

The desire to win must be there.
Even if the money is not needed you still need people who care deeply enough about WV to open up the wallet.

It has to be donor financed...
Cannot rely on revenue.

Both Oklahoma St and TCU invested into their football program.
Right before coming to the Big 12 the TCU boosters invested well over 200 million into their facilities.
