[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 131867351, member: 1467482"] Lol you are a naive fool if you don’t think WVU can buy players regardless of whoever’s name is on the check. Coach Brown coached Troy to 3 consecutive 10 win seasons, so yes the guy can coach players to wins. Larry Coker, Gene Chizik, and Ed Orgeron coached loaded teams to national titles, that doesn’t make them good coaches. For the record I don’t think Neal is a great coach, but he’s good enough on the field and a decent human off of it, which is all this new era calls for. If we buyout Neal, where does that money come from? Probably donors. So WVU should tell the donors to keep that check and give them a list of QB targets to use it on instead. Your emphasis on who the coach of the team is, is of the old world and now wrong. The name of the game is getting players. It actually was the name of the game before NIL became legal, but to your point, the head coach and his level of charisma was usually the driving force behind getting good players. Now it’s primarily money driven, which means who the coach is, is not nearly as important as it once was. We don’t need the cool hip young coach who can go viral on TikTok.
