[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131695887, member: 1428007"] You may have noticed a couple things. First, WVU won the second most games ever in its history with the QBs and coaches it had. While Holgorsen was forced to hire someone with "WVU ties" to run his defense due to pressure from various know nothings, Clemson went out and hired one of the top defensive coordinators in the nation who has greatly elevated their game. While people like you railed on WVUs coach night and day and pushed for people to not attend games and spew venom on tv/radio/print/internet towards the coach, not to mention bashing players left and right, Clemson's fanbase celebrated every success and did everything they could to propel Dabo Sweeney to greatness. ABC/ESPN, while starting up the acc network, began putting Clemson on in primetime games regularly and pushing recruits to that school every year as well. This would be the most difficult thing for WVU to change--how do you become a media darling? They have to want to promote you, but pretty sure going 5-5 and "fans" talking other fans out of attending games and bashing successful coaches and slandering him in the media won't get it done.
