It's been 7 days......are we any closer to getting a head coach?
- Thread starter MountaineerWV
- Start date
The cries for Beilein was not good. I don't believe it would have been a good fit, but maybe I am wrong. Andy Kennedy.......for several days it appeared he was "the guy".....then he wasn't.
If a coach isn't hired by Sunday, they need to just do the interim tag and get some closure. Mitchell, Kriisa, Touissant........they can still come back, but it doesn't look good for Mitchell as it looks like he has sailed his ship for good (although one source claims that staying at WVU is "still a possibility")
IMO: Interim is what they should of done in first place. Then search for a coach for a coach entire year.
Yes staying is still a possibility but no name soon and they can forget any team. Will be lucky to have 6 guys on the roster.
Interim sounds best, then a real search next spring, or the interim impresses everyone and you name them coach. Belien would have been a temporary coach,, maybe worse than interim, especially if it is a ploy to get his son named coach waiting.

Every AD comes in to the job with a "list" of hires. I doubt Baker wasn't one of these AD's. He's had a list of coaches, but I'd say these coaches know the desperation of WVU to hire and are using it to up their own price and negotiations.
It's going about how I thought it would go with Gee and Baker, the fiddling continues while Rome burns.
Anything that involves Patrick should be a non-starter. The stuff that went down at Niagara is baggage we don't need, especially in the current situation.
Many rumors flying around but I have nothing concrete if it happened or not.
Some say mental breakdown others say sexual misconduct with a cheerleader.
Patrick Beilein: cited personal reasons for abruptly resigning as Niagara University men’s basketball coach two weeks before the start of his first season.
The Niagara Gazette reported in September that Beilein underwent back surgery, citing a tweet by the coach from a chair at the University of Michigan hospital.
If JB wants this plan of his, then Patrick needs to step up and explain exactly what happened. No ********.
John can and should sit down next to him as he spells it out. It has to be awful, but there is no way for him to move forward without addressing it. Personally or professionally.
