[QUOTE="deedoubleyou, post: 132245123, member: 1621419"] The list of potential coaches goes up significantly as the willingness to pay them real P5 money goes up. If we want another 3 mil per year coach, then that is what we will get. Another Neal, or a guy who actually succeeds but ends up taking a higher paying job somewhere else after success here. If we pony up and pay someone, not only will we be able to land a good coach, but our chances of keeping him goes up big time as well. We pay Neal 3 mil or so. Liberty, a small school, pays Hugh Freeze 5 mil. If we cant match a small school like Liberty than we dont belong in a P5 conference. WVU needs big change. I'm tired of seeing fans sell themselves, the school and the state short because WVU wont pony up. The truth is, WVU is very appealing even to coaches who dont "have ties" to WV. Excellent facilities, great people in the state of WV, a solid economy in Morgantown, and a beautiful area in northern WV full of great scenery and good living. Very nice college town. The only thing we lack is the willingness to pay the going rate for a really good coach and keep him. WVU is appealing, fur sure. [/QUOTE]
