Prior to Brown's arrival, WVU was winning at an 8 win per year average for five straight seasons. 7 wins per year avg. over the entire previous staffs time (matching WVUs historical avg.)
Now, under Brown, WVU is winning at a less than 5 win per year average over three seasons.
WVU's offense in 2018, the previous staffs final season, WVU's offense was ranked in the top 10, WVU had a well regarded Heisman contender for the majority of the year prior to injuries.
Now, WVU has one of the worst rushing attacks in all of college football and last year was eighth worst in all levels of college football for drops by receievers. WVUs scoring average has dropped from 483 pts. in 2018, 2017 at 449, 2016 at 405 down to 281 currently, 265 in 2020, 247 2019 under Brown.
WVU was 18th in the playoff rankings in 2016 under the previous staff, 13th in 2018. Numerous appearances in in season rankings during the previous staffs time at WVU.
In 2018 WVU was 4 pts (if they beat playoff bound Oklahoma) in playing for a BIG 12 CCG and probably landing in a major bowl.
Under Brown--WVU's only sniff at a bowl was after several game cancellations last year lead to a 5 win team (with two wins coming vs. an fcs and a bad Kansas squad and two more to a couple of losing BIG 12 programs).
There haven't been any rankings for WVU under Brown except in the poorest or worst categories such as the worst rushing attack nationally, worst rushing in the BIG 12 conference, 8th most drops in all of college football, etc. WVU has finished at the bottom level of BIG 12 standings and never come close to playing for the CCG.
Complete, absolute aberration of reality, history to pretend WVUs program was in "bad shape" prior to Brown's arrival.
Most assuredly its in bad shape at this moment in time, under Brown's direction.
