[QUOTE="Darth_VadEER, post: 129625347, member: 1536653"] I happen to care. I think the players on the team cared. I think the students cared. I think the staff and the employees in the athletic department cared. But you don't care. I think everyone involved will still sleep soundly tonight despite that. The only irrelevant variable in this discussion would be yourself. Let me ask you this. If WVU would have won 10 games last year, instead of 8, would your life have been any different? Would it have been any better? Most "fans" who demand "excellence" from football teams are themselves totally average and mediocre in their personal lives and that's why their demands usually fall on deaf ears. Less than a year ago there were plenty of folks here asking why we weren't doing what Baylor was, and having their success (despite knowing we've already had that kind of success). Now can I ask, would you still like to be Baylor? Do you still wish WVU would do what they did to have that success? There's no proven formula to win football games. Sometimes you just need to have the patience to wait until it turns around. RR did great at WVU, but not great at Michigan. LSU didn't win a SEC title for almost 20 years until Saban arrived. If winning were as simple as firing a coach, Pitt would have won the last 4 national titles. Hopefully we win football games this year, but if not, that's what we got bridges for, ya dig? [/QUOTE]
