[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132293700, member: 1812660"] I'd say there is a difference between "rooting" for a coach to lose and preferring that if the current coach is not capable of reaching the goals of the program that it become apparent as soon as possible so the program can move on. That is better for the program than just treading mediocre waters for the better part of a decade. With Brown I fear WVU is in for pain no matter what. I'd love for him to suddenly flip the switch and become a better than average Big 12 coach. But if that highly unlikely scenario does not occur, I'd rather Brown have 1-2 losing seasons forcing a new hire than him improving to a couple of 7 win seasons followed by a few more 5-9 win seasons before ultimately being in Holgorsen situation 4-5 years from now. Kind of like preferring a gangrenous limb declare itself and be amputated rather than smolder in pain for weeks before ultimately getting the same amputation. Hoping for the least amount of pain, even if it is by way of more intensity over a shorter period, when some pain is likely inevitable is not rooting foe the pain. [/QUOTE]
