[QUOTE="MountaineerWV, post: 129437821, member: 1763401"] Very valid points, and I agree with most of them. The mentality of some on here about how we should be "happy" with a 4-1 finish and a 7-5 season is sickening. It would be OK if we returned a very young team with no experience and were coming off a great season or two. But this has been the status quo since entering this league. The one thing I KNOW Rich Rod would bring back is the "By God, we are West Virginia" attitude. I felt he did a great job of that type of attitude while he was here. We never let down, we may have had a few games where we played like **** (ex. Louisville when we fumbled the ball away; Pitt in 2007), but the guys played hard and had that chip on their shoulder. I feel that Gibson has done that with his defense. He may be a guy I could get behind to be a head coach. He seems to have that attitude like Rich Rod. And there's no doubt that you can see the impact he's had on his side of the ball. Compare it to the offensive side, and it's laughable. [/QUOTE]
