[QUOTE="op2, post: 130971577, member: 419450"] I think that column nailed it on that count. If DH has the great season at WVU in 2018 he was aiming for then he gets an extension, which means he can rid out the bad 2019 season that he knew was coming. But since 2018 turned out nothing like expectations, DH knew 2019 would be the last year on his contract and that 2019 would be bad for WVU and that thus, WVU would let DH go after 2019, and without having to pay a buyout. Thus, DH knew he was going to have to leave involuntarily after 2019 so he preemptively left after 2018. They can talk about how Houston is pouring all this money into their program all they want but the bottom line is, all things being equal, any coach would rather be at WVU than at Houston. Look at it this way. Suppose DH left WVU after 2018 for somewhere other than Houston. And both WVU and Houston needed a coach. And both tried to get Neal Brown. Which one would Neal Brown choose? That's a no brainer. He'd choose WVU. [/QUOTE]
