UNC just fired the winningest coach in the history of their program for having the same record as Neil Brown and they fired him during season. That's a program committed to winning on and off the field. I would not want to get in a bidding war against them for a coach.

I view the UNC situation as a total failure of bringing back a coach that left them for greener pastures 20 years ago because some idiot fans believe magic can strike twice. Sound familiar?They realized the mistake after a few years and cut bait.

Yeah and now we have posters on this board in full support of Neal Brown who never had a prime here, but they tell us Jimbo Fisher is washed up. lol.

I think we need to trust Wren Baker. Hopefully he will make the correct decision. I truly think he has made a great hire with the basketball program.

Two schools, two coaches. Totally different. They would most likely not workout the same like you think. RR is not really welcome to a lot of WVians so I can't see it even being an issue.

UNC head coach Mack Brown reportedly told players in his locker room that he would retire if the team felt like they would do better without him.

Jimbo is very well washed up compared to him in his prime, but a washed up Jimbo is still an upgrade to Neal Brown. When you have a dud for a coach, it doesn't take much for an upgrade. It just is what it is. Jimbo is a local so he's a target for WVU. Welcome to life yall lol.

Wait, you mean under Gee we went from a modest destination program for head coaches to a fallback for coaches past their prime?

Bingo! Yes Gee single handedly messed WVU up from top to bottom imo. He wanted to make us the woke Yale of Appalachia which was stupid. I would rather him attempt to make us like Alabama. Go all in on the football program. Literally, it grows the school more than any single other thing in this modern world and once you have that everything else falls into place. WVU went woke, and got broke lol. And now there's talk of not even being able to afford anyone but a bad coach or someone passed their prime. It's a sad situation that we're in but in my opinion fixing the football program is the one thing that can pull us out of it more than anything else. That's just my opinion though of course. It's a good thing I'm not in charge lol. Because we would probably cut all kinds of stupid **** because I would be putting the money in hiring a really good football coach.

I'm not sure we got that woke, at least not more than most other schools during the period, I just think he sucks.

Yeah he definitely just sucks lol. I say woke because it seems like a lot of universities went all in on diversity and inclusion and forgot what made them successful in the first place. We're probably not as bad as a lot of them though.
