[QUOTE="EERs 3:16, post: 131694482, member: 1677401"] Until NB finds a Big XII caliber QB, this team will continue to underachieve and to be honest, I'm still struggling to determine if the lack of talent at the position is on the field or on the sidelines (play calling/coaching). Heck, it's probably a combination of both. And let's be honest, play calling made the DH era fun and entertaining. We may not have won all the big games, but it was nice to know that we were competitive and going into the games, there was always a feeling that we might win. Under the current regime, the play calling is horrible and the the hopes of pulling off a major upset seem to be almost non existent. Who knows, maybe in year three NB finds a way to rekindle the magic of the RR and DH years..... And let's all hope he does. After all, those eras were some of the most entertaining. Again, WVU may not have walked away with a W, but we always felt like we could. NB's first job is to bring that feeling of hope back. The fan base needs to believe that we can standup and go toe to toe with OU and not just hope we can eke out a win against KU So let's see what happen. NB is returning a second year starter at QB, there's now a familiarity with his schemes and let's see what happens. I feel as if anything less than an eight win season (not including the bowl game) will be a huge disappointment. If NB turns in a dud of a season in year three, his seat is going to be a lot hotter in year four. And that's as it should be. After all coaching is a job (just like anyone else's job). And if you under perform at your tasks, then you should expect a pink slip...unless your last name is Huggins but that's a discussion for another day. [/QUOTE]
