Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buckaineer" data-source="post: 131487365" data-attributes="member: 1428007">Total rewrite of factual history.Had WVU defeated Oklahoma in 2018, they would have played in the BIG 12 title game.  They lost to OU that day by 3 pts.So far Brown has been a bust for WVU.  When Holgorsen had close losses, he was bashed mercilously for losing.  Now, its "the jury is still out"?  A loss is a loss, and they are mounting for Brown.Holgorsen tried to win the BIG 12 (and more) in 2018 just as he did each and every year.  He had many high caliber recruits coming to WVU, that is before WVU kaibashed his recruiting by questioning his coaching, and then losing more high level recruits after he turned down a shorter and lower paying contract than he hoped to get.2018 was one of WVU's better seasons in its history, far from just a "massive dissapointment" and certainly much better than the disaster of a joke of football Brown and co. brought WVU last year, with a bottom of the barrel running game, and multi game losses reaching historic levels in a losing season.Holgorsen delivered at least 7 wins to WVU every season but one, and won 10 games a couple of times as well, which simply haven't happened often at WVU.  He would have won 7 games last year, where Brown appears to still be "learning on the job"--a situation Holgorsen was often accused of falsely.I'm quite sure there are many coaches that would rather coach Houston than WVU,  because of recruiting, location, weather and money--both of which Houston has in boatloads ahead of WVU.  Holgorsen was offered a much better contract, in a world class city, with tons of recruiting possibilities.WVU wasn't getting much more press or success on the national stage because they play in a league with multiple top level squads, and much more resources and better recruiting opportunities, not to mention a media market 5 times smaller than Houston, in a state 20 times smaller than Texas, so why wouldn't he leave--especially since the --cough---"fanbase" at WVU made it clear from day one they did not want him.  Who would not leave that behind for more money, everything you want in facilities and no more radical fickle fanbase to deal with who didn't appreciate him delivering epic wins over Clemson, beating as many ranked teams and more highly ranked teams as anyone EVER at WVU, getting to bowls, getting WVU into the national conversation and BIG 12 title picture, etc. etc.All Brown has delivered so far is  an anemic offense, and lots of losses, after so many had declared "anyone can step in and immediately do better than Holgorsen".  Year two and thats still as false as it was year one with Brown.</blockquote>
