Beginning to seem highly doubtful. The actions the people running the program take are obviously highly influenced by too many people more interested in WV ties or people they think they can or want to be buddies or even neighbors with, rather than seeking people that will deliver football wins.
Coaches that had the ability were hamstrung by assistants that had to have ties, or hamstrung by administrators without the vision to do whats needed to keep them or pushed away by fickle fans that thought they knew better only to drive the program into the dregs.
The top WVU tied coaches have no interest in coaching at WVU in football.
A different type of commitment would have to be made by the administration and fanbase to achieve at a higher level, instead WVU lets its social media connections be overun by trolls and people with negative political agendas that reinforce negative stereotypes of WV and make negative recruiting by surrounding and competing coaches not only possible but inevitable. Therefore few top level players will select WVU.
They allow monday morning qbs and coaches decide the offensive and defensive strategies and even the coaches for these things- not based on ability to excel as much as if they fit a certain mold.
Recipe for mediocrity or worse and its playing out more and more.
Just recently WVu had the offensive prowess again to get the job done, needed to put some defensive pieces in place, but instead opted for starting over with the " rebuild" nowhere in site, all because "supporters" drummed up enough made up negativity to push success out once again.
One can just look at the ever depressed state, worst in most categories of quality of life, full of hate mongering bigots, declining population when the rest of the world is growing, and see that success is just not going to be possible.
