[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131674679, member: 1112294"] Your so full of **** you can smell it on your breath. For some reason he quit recruiting Florida. What a dill hole. SO if the recruiting ranking is higher its the coach but if it drops it's the administrations fault. I've heard it all now. During Holgorsen’s time at West Virginia, the average recruiting class ranked sixth in the Big 12 and 41st overall in the nation. That seems bad at first glance, but West Virginia’s densely populated state and distance from other Big 12 schools should be considered. 6th in the Big 12 and 41st in the nation is very commendable. Taking over a program with no real experience is difficult to begin with, but Holgorsen is not a great leader of people which makes it even more challenging. At best, he’s a mad scientist type, a loner, an introvert in an extrovert’s position and role. He does things his own way because he simply can’t do it the way others do it. Not wearing blue and gold, a slap in the face to West Virginia fans, was worn as a badge of honor for Holgorsen. He wasn’t one of us and never wanted to be. He wanted to coach football and not do any of the other ******** media obligations, interactions with fans, or [I]anything [/I]else other than Xs and Os. The fans and administration overlooked all of this because of the excitement surrounding his explosive offense and the fresh start that he represented. He is much better-suited as an assistant coach and really had no business being hired as a Head Coach by West Virginia in 2011. [B] [/B]Bowl Games Holgorsen’s teams finished 2-5 overall. His only big bowl game win was his first season when WVU routed Clemson 70-33 in the Orange Bowl. The other was a 43-42 win against Arizona State in the Cactus Bowl. That Orange Bowl win was huge but the rest of his bowl games were a real disappointment. Holgorsen’s overall record was 61-41 (.598 win percentage). Although he managed to have a few outstanding seasons (10-3 in both 2011 and 2016), his time at WVU was largely disappointing and extremely average overall. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neal Brown was widely seen as one of the best young coaches in the nation while at Troy. Coming off three consecutive bowl game wins and a 31-8 overall regular season record in the past three seasons, West Virginia was extremely lucky that Brown was still available when Holgorsen left for Houston. Coach Brown has a flawless record with past players and administrators, as well as with current WVU players and administration. His leadership and ability to teach and work with young people is his strong point. He kept the entire incoming recruiting class his first year and has brought huge excitement back to the program. Brown has impressed current in-state recruits and appears to be well on his way to landing big-time West Virginia high school players, particularly in 2021. Neal Brown is 4-0 in his career in Bowl games. There’s no reason to not believe that he can’t win at West Virginia. West Virginia is the No. 4 team in the Big 12, which is what they want to see. But the Mountaineers also are only No. 37 nationally in the 2021 recruiting rankings, which offers room for improvement. But still is the average for WVU all time. WVU 2022 recruiting ranking is 33 and 6th in Big 12 WVU 2021 recruiting ranking 37th and 4th in Big 12 WVU 2020 recruiting ranking 40th and 4th in Big 12 WVU 2019 recruiting ranking 48th and 7th in Big 12 (kept all of Holgs recruits and improved the ranking by bringing in more) Well look there. Improvement every freaking season. [/QUOTE]
