Houston: Dana Holgorsen
2018 record (Major Applewhite): 8-5

2019 record: 4-8

Dana Holgorsen certainly took an unconventional approach at Houston, the school with a president that famously said it fires coaches who go 8-4. UH opened the year 1-3 before Holgorsen opted to redshirt many of his best players in an effort to have a big 2020. We’ll see if it pays off.

Grade: D


West Virginia: Neal Brown
2018 record (Dana Holgorsen): 8-4

2019 record: 5-7

WVU was always expected to take a step back this year, and Neal Brown’s team had nice wins over Kansas State and TCU down the stretch. Brown started the year with Oklahoma transfer Austin Kendall at QB, but played Bowling Green transfer Jarret Doege the last three games, preserving his redshirt. Doege looks like the QB of the future in Morgantown.

Grade: B

In my humble opinion, those are accurate grades--2020 will be interesting.

Say it ain't so. We will now have to put up with 30 threads about NB chasing off players.

How many of the key players of the 2018 team were still around in 2019?

Mr. Negative Nancy; he EXCEEDED expectations with all of the changes in staffing, player defections, and graduating 90% of last years playmakers. Nasty bubble you live in!

Think about what these posers are selling you Mountaineer fans

They are telling you a LOSING record at WVU warrants a B, while a losing record at a G5 program is extremely disturbing and warrants a D.

Because in their minds, to get to 5 wins at WVU is a great accomplishment while the same at Houston is extremely poor in their mind.

That is what they and the posers bringing this nonsense think.

By this train of thought, Holgorsen's 8 wins last year, and 10 wins a couple of seasons before that were incredibly fantastic accomplishments worthy of an A (but wait, these same posers tell you those seasons meant nothing and sucked!). You can't have it both ways hypocrites.
