    I actually live 20 minutes from WVU and Brown has done an incredible job considering what he came into. Holgerson quit recruiting 2. Years before he left because he knew he wanted out. FPI had them 2-10 in 2019 and he went 5-7. FPI had them 4-8 in 2020 and he had them .500 but would?ve been 7-5 without COVID. They are picked 6th in big 12 this year and just beat a top 15 team. Their fans are all in and if he wins next week at Oklahoma (which I think they will) im sure all the people that told me leach and Moorhead were better hires will go silent

    I am sure there were people here that would have blown that hire off as being unimpressive but that is just being ill informed. A Brown hire would have been perfectly acceptable from a common sense and football sense perspective at that time. And now it makes even more sense when compared to the clown we have. Bad decision. Very bad.

    I actually met Brown at a conference and not only is he a good football coach but he is a good dude. He is a blue collar family man and would?ve been the perfect coach for us. He discretely told me he wanted out job in as professional as a way as possible, but he loves WVU and wants to win big there which I think he will. I actually think he will win @oklahoma next week. We will see though. Anyone who thinks the 2 hires we made over him is just out of touch with reality

    So maybe Finebaum was right about what he said about Leach a month or so ago?

    [QUOTE=PMDawg;1363285]IT'S MEMPHIS! There may be two players that started for them today that would crack our 2 deep.

    Respectively disagree. Memphis was by far the more physical team today. Our running backs get knocked down by a weak arm thrown out; theirs run hard and fall forward, and it takes at least two of our guys to bring them down. Our backs and receivers couldn't break a tackle if their lives depended upon it. We just plain got out-hustled and out-physicaled, not to mention out-coached.
