[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129444958, member: 1457561"] People have criticized [I]the way[/I] the DH hire was done and a few have complained that the [I]removal[/I] of BS was handled poorly. Nobody but Stewart's wife--and to the best of my knowledge she does not post here--has "had it out" for Holgorsen from "day one" as you allege (but of course cannot prove). Still waiting for you to provide a link from anybody claiming they still want Stewart as our coach were he still alive or that said they were "perfectly happy" not winning the BE outright under Stewart. Looks like another allegation you can't prove. Again, the facts: ECU also won 9, won C-USA, but suddenly a VT who won both the ACC and Orange Bowl was just "OK"? Now who has the agenda? I already provided the actual facts on Colorado which prove your assertion that they were "terrible" to be an agenda-driven manipulation of the facts. They were mediocre, unlike Kansas and Iowa St in 2013 who were truly "terrible" at 3-9 rather than 5-7. Our team DID have something to play for in 2013. They still could have become bowl-eligible and kept the appearance streak going merely by beating the 2 worst teams in the league. Instead, they didn't even show up for the Kansas game and then blew a 24-point lead at home against a 2-9 creampuff. Neither of those teams was playing for anything, either. Why didn't they pack it in? Even Dave Wannstedt was able to get his teams to show up when they "had little to play for and a bad team"! The fact that you want to just excuse away Holgorsen's 2 most embarrassing losses because we "had little to play for" tells me all I need to know about your experience with sports and your agenda. Yes, there most certainly is...and the non-troll, high-information fans on the board know exactly who they are. As opposed to those incessant anti-WVU [I]fan[/I] attackers like those on this message board? A claim you still have offered no links to prove. Mostly everyone seemed happy at the time to get a highly-sought coordinator, even if they disagreed on how it was handled. Everyone is sympathetic to these issues, but some of us simply feel they're now being used as a crutch to mask the lack of progress being made. If you feel enough progress is being made, that's fine. However, a steadily growing number of fans do not agree. That does not seem to be the case. Unquestionably Texas and Oklahoma have vastly more resources, but there has been enough information posted by other people that suggest we may be roughly equal to some of the other schools in spending, facilities, recruiting ratings and so on. Unlike the Holgorsen fluffer trolls that have created about 5,000 to 10,000 threads daily over the last five years trying anything and everything desperately to try and support this coach--even when unwarranted? Do you also have the same problem with them trying to divide the fanbase by incessantly branding everyone who doesn't agree with them a "troll"? Yes, it's a well-known fact that there were no trolls on the WVU message boards before Holgorsen took over as coach. Everything was sunshine and rainbows then! Yet strangely, you seem to have no problem with those who claim to be WVU fans trolling and tearing down their own program's past accomplishments and coaches. Hmmm... That's funny, because when people post the actual recruiting ratings they don't seem to back up your claim. Yes, I lied. It's also a well-known fact that recruits flock in droves to losing programs, and run away like scared rats from winning programs. Yes, I must confess: My only goal is the destruction of WVU's program.
