There weren't, nor will there be. Let's face it, you know it and I know it, WVU isn't a destination school. It IS a place where G5 coaches take as a step up. That's likely the best we're ever going to get.Our small but dedicated fanbase isn't going to lure anyone here. That's a pipe dream.Chad Morris has made Clemson into a perennial contender. However, he's been offered head coaching jobs at numerous schools and refuses to even listen. He knows he's got a good thing going on down there.Holgerson didn't have to hire from within the state. Look at his first 3 or 4 coordinators. Some were the pits like Bedenbaugh, some were just average, and one was Tony Gibson who turned out to be the best (that's not saying much) of all of them. Truth is, Dana couldn't lure in a big time coordinator because he wasn't a big enough name himself. No Morris', Andrews', or Foster's ever even sniffed out a resume. He had to settle for who he could get. I agree, with a big name defensive name (as a head coach) we MIGHT have won more games. As the saying goes, offense wins games, defense wins championships. That's why I like Brown more than Dana, his focus is more defensive oriented. Last year, he had the best defense in the B12, which as you say was the toughest from top to bottom. Now, when an offense comes along to match, maybe we can contend for the conference.</blockquote>
