[QUOTE="mounty99, post: 129444545, member: 1855337"] I think WVU has shown a commitment to be great in football in a lot of areas. The move to the Big 12 and the cost associated with it, major investments in facilities, increased salaries and support for staff, better recruiting budgets, outstanding fundraising for the program to name a few...... Going out and hiring Dana was even part of that commitment. Problem is the results on the field are not in line with the commitment made in those other areas and that's what is frustrating and it falls back on Dana. Dana being brought back is less about support for Dana and more about the fact WVU did not have an option lined up that would be worth spending the && on the buyout. If the AD was in full support and felt things were moving the right direction it would not have taken until now for Lyons to come out and say he would be back next year. I realize there are options still available but I appreciate that a move won't be made until Lyons and Gee have someone they really want and believe can take the next step. Because we don't want to back here in 5 or 6 years doing this again. [/QUOTE]
