$20M is $20M, something that WVU was unwilling to pay. But, has Dana not been paying attention? UCF hasn’t lost a game since 2016, and they can’t make the playoffs. Stepping down to G5 seems odd. And it seems a slap in the face to WVU.

WVU is winningest program without a claim of the National Championship.
 
I mentioned this a few weeks back when some were suggesting Dana as potential HC for Louisville. Dana was looking at 4-8 next year and getting fired, and he knew it. WVU was loaded this year and Will Grier fell into their lap, and they still had a late season collapse as they always do under him. WVU wanted him gone and instead of having to FARRRR the sonofabitch and take the buyout hit they got paid, so everyone wins.
 
Interesting to see if they go after Fickell. The Big 12 is where defensive minded coaches go to never be heard from again.

Few thoughts on this:

- there were rumors that Holgorsen reached out to Tyra. I’d say this would nearly confirm those rumors

- Holgorsen is a different kind of dude. He’s a bachelor, likes to gamble and have a good time. Guessing he found Morgantown very confining

- as mentioned above, he was looking a rough year next season. This was a way out, gets him into the state he can recruit well in and then jump back into P5 in a few years if he wants. And if not he will have $20M in the bank and be living in a city he likes.

- I think Neal Brown will be the pick here though I think they should hire Fickell
 
Unless your name is Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma , or maybe Georgia, you have no consistent chance of making the playoff. Might as well make $4 million a year and live in Houston than Morgantown, WV.
Haven’t you heard, playoffs will expand. UCF being left out, ND laying an egg, more chances for Alabama and Clemson to be upset...
 
Now, this is the kind of thread that I turn to this site for, instead of some silly ramblings from "the clown"!
I won’t report it but this is an example of a post that should be deleted because it adds no substance to the topic at hand and throws an unnecessary insult at a poster who hasn’t commented in this thread. That’s what drags down this message board.

Umm - nope. What “drags down this message board” are posters (poster) who consistently inject their agenda into multiple threads with the sole intent of eliciting a negative response from others.

Also known as “trolling”.

I always enjoy it when the "agenda" is substituted for on-point rebuttal...

I have heard that Brown is the most likely hire also. However, the President at WVU was the President of OSU that hired Urban Meyer so he knows Fickell. I would not rule him out.

Hey bud. “Brohm to UL - dome deal”

Lol.

Not that he deserves fairness, but I think it was Kerry Rhodes who was quoted with that saying a few hundred times.

Funny stuff...

Now that I think about it, I don't recall too many of your quotes...
There was that one about calculating the net worth of Satterfield’s contract in burritos. It “bagged” a bunch of likes until it was oddly deleted.

I’ve no doubt you recall that one. :)

Holgorsen can be a king in Houston, get paid a lot of money, and have access to probably a better portal of recruits.

The AAC will never get him a title....but he is playing in the 4 largest city in the nation in a state with soooo much talent and big money supporters. Herman showed you can get big time talent and attention at that school.

West Virginia is playing in Texas and Oklahoma's conference. Now with Texas coming back...I think he knew it was time to cash in and coach for big money and less stress.
 
Still wondering why it was deleted. I’ve long suspected that “zipp” was a secret mod. How else could he get away with so much douchebaggery? o_O
LOL... The paranoia that a few of you guys carry around must get pretty damn heavy. Do you honestly think the folks in charge here want a lot to do with my approach to this message board? ...Best described as "can't live with me--can't live without me." I like it like that.

BTW I didn't see it, so it must have been trashed before I could read it. Part of the art to posting here successfully is getting your points across without that happening. Better luck next time...

Houston is also in prime position to upgrade to the Big 12 should they ever decide to expand to 12 again. Houston played their way into the old SWC and conceivably be in position to do it again.

Apparently sarcasm - like many other nuances - is lost on you. As for posting, you’ve clearly mistaken volume for “success”.

It’s no surprise that you didn’t see the original post - it was made in the middle of the day - about 12 hours before you typically start droning on.

Of course you've taken "success" out of context. So I'll spell it out--NOT getting your ish deleted. I'm sure you can tell me with 40K posts how many I get deleted.

So you don't have to whine about it, post more judiciously next time. That's if you want people to read your schlock...

Neal Brown it is

I’ll post how I feel - thanks. If that means that some get the axe - so be it. I’m going to guess that many of your posts stay up because the mods (like most) don’t have the interest or inclination to actually make it through them - they’re tedious at best. And, I’d bet you that a better percentage of my “schlock” is read than your one note drivel.

“Whine” - lulz.

Then don't publicly whine about how the site is moderated. Contact them. And save us your half baked conspiracy theories...

Expressing a lack of understanding of why something was done is not whining.

I would have thought at least that wouldn’t be lost on you - particularly given how much lack of understanding are contained within your posts...

I understand perfectly. You're butthurt and looking for excuses...
