[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 130961537, member: 1812660"] I could argue that by investing time in paying attention to WVU, I would be "choosing to accept" the product WVU is selling. But that is aside from the point. The point is, however you want to classify it, that some posters are falsely impugning the motives of those that are understanding of a rough transition season or 2. I believe WVU will have a rough season and maybe another one in 2020, but that is expected with a new coach especially one replacing an already ingrained odd system such as the 3-3-5. I'm willing to pay that price for the chance of achieving a higher level of competition than Dana achieved in 8 seasons. Some have suggested that this stance is "accepting" a lesser product than the previous coach when it is in fact the opposite. It is like losing weight or getting out of debt. It is accepting discomfort and sacrifice now in the hopes of attaining something better later rather than being complacent. It is foolish to think DH was in position in his 9th season to compete for the Big 12 when he finished 4th with a much more senior and talent laden roster the previous year. It is even more foolish to judge Brown as lesser than DH after the first game in his first season. Especially when DH had bigger gaffes in his 3rd season. What I'm trying to say is that making judgments on DH as a head coach at WVU is reasonable given he was the HC for 8 seasons. While making judgments on Brown as HC at WVU is foolhardy given he has one game under his belt. [/QUOTE]
