Makes sense. I thought that was his background but couldn't remember. I won't touch the politics side even though I was ribbing rootdude or whatever his name is, but though you guys lost a good D-coordinator, are you liking what you're hearing about his replacement?

If you want to know where WVU is pay attention to the incoming recruiting class.
You find out how many players are actually making an impact.

You see RBs and WRs usually first
OL probably last.

By the end of the freshman year you want to see at least more than a few doing more than just special teams.

You already see one of the CBs making noise.
LBs and DBs are positions that could be upgraded.
The defensive line is there.

You want to look completely at the defense. Neal Brown isnt one to say you can't play defense in the Big 12..
But you need a complete team.

I liked the replacements because they were already here. Both have potential and know the system well.

It seems like Holgerson kind of left the cupboard bare on some of the offensive positions and kind of mailed it in in recruiting.

Butler what are you trying to accomplis?

And while I’m a Pitt fan I think Pitt and wvu should play every year, in all major sports. Period. I’ve always followed our rivals when we played and I am just looking forward when we play the Mounties in a couple years.

Neal Brown is attempting to make a change. He has a totally different idea of what a great football team looks like.

Interior OL was a major issue last year.

Have to see his players that he is bringing in start to stand out.
Hard because OL takes at the very least one full year to develop sometimes two or three.

The backend of the defense is important because of how much space you have to cover in the Big 12.
You can attempt to cut that space down by having a pass rush.

If you can get home in this conference with a 4 man conference you can impact the game.
But to have the defense that can hold down the elite offenses you need the DBs and mainly the LBs.
WVU isn't at the point where they can hold these offenses under 30 points

Fair enough. Just a heads up on @TownesVanZandt. He’s a racist POS and has like 25 troll handles. If you haven’t been around site don’t get sucked into his game. We fight the good fight against that weirdo.

I have owned your little mind on this site numerous times.
That is what happens when you claim you are royalty on this board. When in truth you are just a boring generic troll.
