[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 130961100, member: 1812660"] RR lost to Temple in his first year after taking over for a HOF coach. Despite the fact that he was a huge prick, only an idiot would think he wasn't a better HC during his 7 season run when compared to Dana. Dana wasn't even expected to be head coach his first season which may have helped him avoid attrition. When it was his first full season in charge, WVU was absolutely embarrassed down the stretch. Then in his 3rd season WVU turns into a RR 3-8 level squad that lost to Kansas. That is pretty damning when it is the 3rd and 4th season where you should see the dividends of a coach installing his system and recruiting his players. You never address the fact that DH finished 4th in the best chance he had to win the conference during the better part of a decade. You want to ignore that DH would give big wins against the lower tiers, but only occasionally beat the upper tiers in the conference. You want to ignore that ISU is in better position to compete for a Big 12 title than WVU despite 8 years of DH at the helm. You want to ignore that ANY coaching change at WVU was going to involve taking some lumps and regression. It all boils down to the fact that a rough transition season was inevitable and while Brown may not be the answer, Dana sure has hell wasn't the answer. Rather than take some lumps to strive for something better, you seem to advocate staying in a "tolerable" situation to avoid risk or adversity. [/QUOTE]
