For the record:

Frank Cignetti, battling cancer, was 2-9 in 1978.

Gene Corum was 0-8-2 in 1960, his first season, but lasted 6 seasons including 8-2 in 1962.

Neal Brown is 1-1 so far. He has to win another game to tie Cignetti’s worst season. And 2 more games to beat Cignetti.

Remember, it's been 40 years since WVU had a season with only 2 victories.

And this happened with new coaches over and over.

To illustrate how bad the new coaches are doing at the running game--

WVU is now ranked 129 out of 130 teams in rushing this season-- ahead of only Texas State.

The only good thing there is Pitt is only ranked one spot ahead of WVU with 78 total yds.

--There are 16 Mountaineers who have seen their first WVU action during the 2019 season: Taijh Alston (DL), George Campbell (WR), Randy Fields Jr. (WR), Nicktroy Fortune (CB), James Gmiter (OL), Noah Guzman (S), Josh Growden (P), John Hughes (OL), Jordan Jefferson (DL), Reuben Jones (DL), Austin Kendall (QB), Kerry Martin Jr. (S), Mike O’Laughlin (TE), Sean Ryan (WR), Blaine Scott (OL) and Tykee Smith (S). A total of four of those were true freshmen.

The same people that called for Holgorsens head from day one as a Mountainneer HC ( and ignored that he won 10 games- an improvement over the previous coach--won the conference and went to the BCS game-- where he crushed Clemson in historic fashion)--- these same people are now whining that

" a coach deserves at least 3-4 years"!!!

They are acting as though WVU is a two win a year program in need of a complete rebuild from scratch.

But WVU was not such a team-- in fact up until the final game of last year WVU was in contention of the BIG 12 championship. They won 8 games and returned many starters despite some moving onto the NFL. 3 seasons ago WVU again had 10 wins-- a rarity for the Mountaineers over the history of the program.

The RB core was touted nationally as probably the deepest in the BIG 12 for this year with i.e. Mckoy and Pettaway very highly regarded.

The new coaching staff has quickly dropped WVU into the dregs of college football.

They pushed out 9 mostly key players to the transfer portal. They've taken what was expected to be the top rushing attack in the BIG 12 and turned it into a laughingstock-- gaining 64 total yards for the entire season to date.

Theyve taken a top 10 offense and turned it into a slow inept squad only producing 13.5 ppg.

They certainly havent improved the D which was really the only sore spot the past several seasons. Giving up 38 to a middle of the road at best Missouri which just lost to Wyoming does not bode well at all.


WVU was not in rebuild mode, but now it sure is. Problem is after 2 weeks things are going backwards with this staff that seems in over their heads at this point.
Wrong on all counts. Brah, you honestly believe we'd be playing better with Dana? LMAO!!!

Without the coaching change, we'd most likely finish with a better season record.

But that of course doesnt mean we'd be better off as a program.

With the exception of a few compulsive bedwetters here, I think everyone knows the win/lose column wont be the most important measurable going forward.
