Some of us wanted to keep Dana and thought Brown was a dud hire.

Anyone who believes keeping Holgorsen was a good deal is a ******* moron. Not only was he clearly going to be a coach that just kept teasing the fan base with hope but never actually getting over the hump. But he was going to require roughly the same commitment from WVU that currently has us anchored to Brown. 2 unequal **** deals does not make the slightly better one a good deal.
Keeping Holgorsen for a 5 year, 20+ million guaranteed deal would have been incredibly stupid. Hiring Brown was just as stupid. Giving Brown an extension after 2 nothing seasons way more stupid than the first 2 options. But I will say this, I'd rather the program take a chance and get burned by a new hire like Brown, the stupid extension not withstanding, than just settle for a middling coach with little hope of ever delivering an elite season.
I really liked DH but his time was over...that's ok, things end and that was a really good exit. It was over no matter what. Brown seemed like just an OK hire and he underperformed.
Lyons said some crap that people were marching in the streets happy about Brown being hired - wrong, no...not at all. It seemed like it could be a fit but it wasn't.
It wasn't going to happen. It was over....both parties had no appetite for it. Unfortunately Lyons took us to a Golden Corral instead of Peter Lugers
Holgorsen's time ended here because he wasn't getting the job done. He got out because he knew the bottom was falling out and his *** was going to get fired. Lyons should have canned him after the 2015 season. There were some good candidates available that year that would have been a better fit then Holgorsen. Brown was one of the better candidates on the market when wvu had to conduct a coaching search. It hasn't worked out to date but there was nothing wrong with the resume. Most of the fan base was optimistic when he was hired.
DH is a very good OC, but the role of HC fits him poorly. He will eventually be an OC again somewhere, just give it some time.
