Brown is owed $16 million if West Virginia fires the fourth-year head coach after the 2022 season.
Neal Brown contract, buyout: WVU football coach owed $16 million if fired by Mountaineers after 2022 season
- Thread starter WVUALLEN
- Start date
My good feelings almost always ends up bad for WVU. I had a good feeling before the Pitt game.
That's the sleazy RR way of doing things, not to mention it'd be really dumb because WVU would have no chance of winning in court.
People need to just chill. HCNB is going to be here awhile. We'll see what happens. I'm going to have to make a point of starting to avoid "Fire him" posts because they are completely pointless for the foreseeable future.
People have short memories unfortunately and just one Holgorsenesque fool's gold 9 win season will make folks forget. Unless he pulls a miracle this season, nothing short of a conference title and playoff appearance in the next 2 should save his job lest we just spin our wheels like we did with the last coach.
That would absolutely ruin our chances at hiring a quality coach. No coach would ever accept a job at WVU if they didnt honor a contract.
We are all frustrated, but you cant deny there has been progress this year despite the two tough close losses. Technically its still a young team, not as young as it was, but its still not upperclassmen laden like we want it to be every year.
I dont think firing Brown midseason is the right move. If he wins 7+ this year then give him 1 more year, if he only wins <= 6 games then its time to move on.
If it is time to move on, we as fans need to do our part to help provide the resources needed to hire a quality replacement. If just 100,000 of us 1.8 million donated just $25 per month that would be $30mill per year. That would be enough to raise our expectations from who we could hire...
