[QUOTE="CAJUNEER_rivals, post: 130604863, member: 1467960"] Excellent troll, OP. Under no circumstances would I want RR back. Having said this, the reason so many fans feel like 8-3 is a bad season is because RR’s teams set such a high standard. Most years under Don Nehlen 8-3 was considered a success. Fans were excited about any bowl bid in the 80’s. In 1985 WVU was 7-3-1 and didn’t get a bowl invite. (That’s when Nehlen began talking up forming a new conference.) In the 90’s most years we were just hoping to get a Gator Bowl bid. We have it pretty good. We were unprepared and underperformed against ISU. We were competitive against OU and OSU. Holgorsen has the program in a pretty good place. Just as important, Holgorsen seems to learn from his errors and grow as an HC every year. I think he’s done a good job here. I think he can win us a B-12 championship. I think he has some decisions to make about our defense though. [/QUOTE]
