[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 130955661, member: 1812660"] That is just untrue and very short sighted. No way WVU was going to be better this year under Holgorsen over last year unless another Grier level talent was available at QB. Those just don't fall into your lap. But even if one as good as Grier showed up, he would not be as good as Grier was last season given having over a year within the program vs just 2 sets of practices. So while you are correct that under Holgorsen WVU was looking at a better 2019 season than with Brown, you are wildly off base to believe WVU had even a chance at competing for a Big 12 championship this year. What is short sighted is being a 4th place Big 12 team, as WVU was for the 2018 season, with the best team DH ever assembled shows what WVU can expect. So you are advocating for a better 2019 season in exchange for WVU having less of a chance at a Big 12 title than ISU and about 5 other conference teams for the foreseeable future? Brown is an unknown commodity, but DH wasn't unknown and he just didn't have what it takes to ever bring home a Big 12 title just like the coach he replaced. [/QUOTE]
