[QUOTE="Jason Voorhees, post: 131671813, member: 1512498"] I don't know if anyone is saying Brown is fantastic. What people are saying is he hasn't had enough time. If you look at the bowl game against syracuse we saw what the team looked like after Grier and Jennings skipped town. This is the reality that Brown inherited. Brown wants to be more physical at the point of attack. This wasn't going to happen overnight. He needs more than 2 years to build the depth necessary to be successful. Nehlen may have gotten wvu to the title game but it took him 8 years. By the time 2000 came around it was obvious that the program was stagnant and Nehlen did the honorable thing and stepped aside. In 2007 people were fed up with RR more with his flirtation with other schools. We went through it with Alabama in 2006. RR didnt get along with his boss because he didn't feel that the administration was putting the necessary resources into the program. Not sure why you would mention Stewart. The guy was a disaster. He might have had three 9 win seasons but he inherited a ready made situation. When you look at the teams Stewart had and the competition he faced 9 wins is probably the worst he could have done. If Stewart would have remained he would have left the program the way Frank Cignetti did. By the Time Holgorsen arrived the program was running on fumes and he got wvu to an orange bowl with a weaker team than any of Stewarts teams. [/QUOTE]
