[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 130108914, member: 1457561"] How did it turn out...are you serious? He revitalized the program back to where it was in Nehlen’s prime, delivered the first big bowl win ever here, and produced the best 3-year stretch in school history. That’s a home-run hire in every way. Who cares that it ended badly? Almost every AD in America would be lucky as hell to get those results from their hires.
