Im not a fan of hiring + firing coaches after 3-4 years.  It takes more time then that to fully integrate a coach's culture, foundation, scheme, recruit scheme specific, develop them, etc.  We'll see how good Brown is when he walks out onto the field and every player on the team was his recruit.  Until then, we just want to see signs of improvement.  Sometimes, like with Dabo, you can even take a step back, before you take that big break-out step forward.  Time will tell if Brown shakes out, I think he will, but either way he deserves enough time & support to see what he can do.Programs that cave to fanbase impatience remain in Loserville for perpetuity, I mean..... Tenn, Auburn, Miami, USC, Texas, Ole Miss, FSU, Michigan(Not as bad as others here), Nebraska, etc etc.... Its a downward cycle that is incredibly difficult to claw out of...  Brown is proving he can recruit at WVU, which is a significant compliment and not easy to do... That is a very significant % of the cookbook, lets see how he does when hes not restricted from a talent, experience, or depth perspective.  If year 6 ends and we are still a 7 win team with no strong signs of breaking through, Ill be the first to say its time to start looking for quality options.  Until then, the best thing we can do as fans is to support this staff, our players, & Donate to the MAC.</blockquote>
