[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131879143, member: 1476288"] Some would say it was just 2 seasons ago... If you had a graph that plotted roster quality(Talent & Experience) the past 2 seasons would be the two lowest/worst plots in the 21st century. Logically speaking, while we may not agree on much, I think we can both agree that what a coach inherits is a major determining factor in their success in the first 2-4 years depending on the level of insufficiencies they inherited. The magnitude of change required, determines the amount of time needed for correction. If any decent coach in P5 would miraculously become the HC for Bama next year, I bet he could win at least 10-11 games, on the talent alone. That said, he could still underperform, because under a quality coach he could squeeze 1-4 additional wins out of that talent. I also think we can both agree, a staff can underperform relative to roster talent, just like they can outperform. That swings both ways. The roster is and will always be the primary factor in determining outcome or team quality. A staff can add or subtract a few wins from that base, so if you look at WVU roster, and using recruiting rankings based expectations of the players actually on the team, most of which he inherited, this staff has significantly outperformed since at WVU. Time will tell if NB is the man to achieve realistic goals at WVU, which is to be a contender for a conference championship 1 in 3 years, and win >= 8 games per year, which is 1 higher then our historical average. Its to early to tell, considering the level of **** NB inherited, he deserves enough time to coach a team he recruited before we make a decision, as a fanbase to withdraw support. Thats not saying we dont have expectations of improvement, or to see progress on an annual basis, which we certainly have seen, particularly if you look beyond just Wins & Losses. JUst like how I dont blame Dana for Grier's two fumble 6's, I dont blame Brown for Doege's absolutely boneheaded game losing decisions. If Doege doesnt blow it vs OU/Terps/TTU we would not be having a discussion of progress, because we have been competitive in every game this year aside from Baylor & OkieSt, both of which are top 10 teams. If after the 5th season is over and we continue to see the same issues, Ill be the first to say its time to move on, but until then, lets as a fanbase do everything we can to help this program & staff be successful, ultimately if you/we are truly fans we want to do whatever is best for the program, our loyalty is to WVU, not to any staff.
