[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132593649, member: 1488840"] The only question that really needs to be answered is this: Is Jimbo an upgrade over Brown? Assuming he would want the job - he may or may not. But if he does, how can anyone deny he's not better than Brown? I've seen some reasons given - none of which hold much merit. [I]He had the top ranked class, he recruited from the talent-rich states of Florida and Texas, etc. and he still couldn't win.[/I] He brought in all of that talent - to both FSU and A&M. They could have gone to other schools but they didn't. Would he be able to recruit the same level of talent to WVU? Probably not! But, even if he could get 25% - 50% of that he would wipe the floor with what we have now. Let's look at Brown's recruiting for this year. According to Rivals, we have 19 commitments right now. Zero 5 stars. One 4 star. 18 - two and three stars. Out of those 19 recruits, WVU was the "best" or "biggest" offer for eleven of them. We are talking about we have to beat out the likes of BC, Akron, Western Kentucky, Buffalo, Toledo, and Furman? for these recruits. Another 3 or 4 we had to beat out a Purdue or Wisconsin. Only for 3 kids did we have to beat out a Michigan, Penn State, FSU, or other "name" school. Could Jimbo beat that? Every single day... [I]He couldn't win the SEC with all that and the money[/I]. Valid point. But he proved he COULD win the ACC with it, as well as a NC. Which is the new B12 (minus UT and OU) closer to, the ACC or the SEC? It's certainly not the SEC. If he can come close to replicating what he had at FSU, then we would be in business. Are we going to win the NC with Jimbo? Probably not, but that isn't the goal right now. The goal should be to compete for the new B12 championship. THEN win it. Then the playoffs. With Brown, we can't sniff even the small goal and with the recruiting class (42nd) he's bringing in, that isn't happening anytime soon either. Jimbo gives us an upgrade and a fighting chance... but if people think a bigger profile name will come on the market we could get after the season, then I'm with you. But, if not, it makes the most sense to jump on board now. [/QUOTE]
