[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129516586, member: 1484359"] I guess you don't do trail law there chief. Grab a paper bag or something. I don't fire anyone at WVU. They don't call and ask for my opinion either. Do you think WVU would fire him if he wins 9-10 games next year? I don't either. I remember Frank Solich. Damn good coach at Nebraska. 58-19 W-L record there. Got fired at an age that likely sits around the average for a BCS level coach. He got a HC job after that at Ohio (MAC). Significantly less money per year. Surely he would get a quick call up. How did that go? The lesson is when you have a job like that you hold onto it with both hands and you must be willing to make sacrifices to do that. Now if his plan is to keep every cent of his buyout next year and work the OC circuit and chase co-eds (not a terrible career path) until he retires, then that's a great plan. What I'm saying is that if it takes giving that severance up to make it work at WVU, then you have to do it. You will never know when a chance like this comes again. Now if he's been given the idea that Lyons hates his guts and will fire him no matter what, then that changes the dynamic. All ADs want to win. If Dana wins 9 next year there is no way he gets fired...no matter who the AD happens to be. The scenario I gave before and the one here today have nothing to do with my feeling for him personally. I've met him a few times and he seems like a good guy and a good coach. No, I don't like the deal he got and I would bet that the vast majority of WVU fans feel the same way. I think Luck did it to protect him (and WVU) from making a rash decision borne out of impatience. Instead WVU has a coach that has underperformed in a 5 year window, which is more than many coaches get nowadays. Lyons is likely pissed off and made that statement to push things forward. If he thinks there is any way he stays in 2017 then he needs to get the message before he becomes (if he's lucky) another Frank Solich. [/QUOTE]
