Combine that with his recruiting to resolve those problems and build the program the right way, those are the two main reasons why Im optimistic.  That doesnt mean Im not a realist or want to see progress on an annual basis, but many people in this forum act as if Brown was handed a ready made 10 win team or an average WVU roster and that could not be farther from the truth.  The primary limitations I see from this team are roster based, not coach based.  The fact NB has managed to get this team to be competitive and in a position to win majority of games is miraculous, considering the extensive limitations & youth.We will see in time what the ceiling is under Brown when he has time to resolve thos roster limitations, or the vast majority of them...  Thats why I believe its far to early to feel either way, because any staff WVU could afford would have experienced the same issues & path to growth.Also, if Doege doesnt make those boneheaded game losing mistakes, we would not be even having this discussion.  The best schemes, staff, & player development in the world only goes so far, players still have to execute on a consistent basis and not make game losing mistakes.</blockquote>
