[QUOTE="OlegeezEER, post: 131925260, member: 1835316"] I agree Brown had 4 years remaining on his original contract, which is plenty of time to show something. The extension wasn't warranted. Personally I think WVU and the non Blue bloods in the Acc, Big 12, and Pac should reconsider their strategy when it comes to giving coach's contracts. I don't think we should give a coach a lucrative deal until he proves he can win with a team he recruited. I know some will be critical of what I just said. In the last year I have seen USC poach a coach from Oklahoma. LSU poached a coach from Notre Dame. We have seen a Texas program that just pisses away money like a malfunctioning ATM machine. There is no contract that WVU or any other program on our level can give a coach that teams from the Sec or Big 10 can't match. Just to clarify I believe when we hire someone fair market value should be given. Until they start winning with their own players no big buyouts attached. I don't want to get hamstrung by an underperforming contract. I have seen to many teams give contracts to coach's with early success that ended up biting them in the a$$ at a later date. [/QUOTE]
