[QUOTE="ThePunish-EER, post: 132817499, member: 1428395"] Just like anything, you pay for quality. If and when the day comes to replace Brown, they’re gonna have to pay up to get that quality coach. Not saying they can’t, they certainly can. It’s whether they have the same passion and commitment it takes to build a top shelf program. Someone recently posted WVU ranked 27th in financial donations to the athletics department. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 million. Amazingly, Penn State and other powers were below WVU. Oregon was far an away 1st at $950 million. All because of Phil Knight and Nike. While we can’t compete with that, we definitely can compete on the field. And we definitely should be competing for the B12 championship every year now that Oklahoma and Texas are gone. Not saying the B12 is weak at all, but we get similar recruits as the current schools in our conference. And we’re usually in the top mix. I like Neal Brown as a person. He’s a great role model for the kids. But the reality is, we’re not getting the results we need. Let’s let the guy finish the year and see what he can do. In my opinion, anything less than 7-5 this year should be his last season in Morgantown. [/QUOTE]
