[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132140254, member: 1812660"] Bowden did something different at FSU and he did so because he was run off at WVU. Had he been praised for doing what he did at WVU, he likely would've kept doing what he was doing rather than changing his strategy like he did at FSU. He was also on the cutting edge of allowing Florida natives who had no business being past the 6th grade with criminal records into college just to have a good football team. A strategy unlikely to work at WVU at that time. Also Bowden at least had some accomplishments like the Peach Bowl at WVU. Neal has ZERO accomplishments of note at WVU. He'll at least Holgorsen had upset wins vs OSU and Baylor during his bad to average seasons. Neal has nothing close. So your comparison to Bowden is absolutely irrelevant. The overwhelming statistical data shows that a coach with very little growth over 3 seasons RARELY go on to have any significant success at that program. This includes coaches that go on to do well somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
