Re: Neal Brown
Not actually factual with that - Bill Stewart was 9-4 all of his 3 years (Big East) - Holgersen had 5 straight seasons of being ranked including 3 top 20 final rankings - 2018, the year before Brown they were ranked high as #6 - 2012 ranked as high as #5 and had 2 10-3 seasons during his 9 years with only one season with a losing record. I never said Holgerson was not a good coach (as he has proven again at Houston) but he was always looking to leave and it was being used against WVU

Re: Neal Brown
WVU just announced they had another WR enter the portal today - That's a 3 year starter and is the 3rd starting WR to enter the portal ---

Re: Neal Brown
So, are any of these portal fellas good App targets?

Re: Neal Brown
From Clark's presser today, we don't appear to be looking at the portal at the moment.

Re: Neal Brown
Their 3 WRs are good with Winston Wright being the best - he is also a top kick returner so my guess is he is looking to step up in the P5 world

Re: Neal Brown
Well Brown has made two good moves - he has hired Graham Harrell from So Cal as Offensive Coordinator and "fired" himself from same position

Re: Neal Brown
I think Neal Brown is an excellent coach and I'm not sure what the issue has been at WV, but this seems like a no-brainer to me. I don't care how good you are (or think you are), moving from a G5 to P5 head coach position and trying to do two jobs is just not good. I was concerned with Drink doing this at App, coming in as a first year HC. He made it work, but in our case it was a budget issue. WV doesn't have the same issues. Good move by Brown.

Re: Neal Brown
The bleeding has not stopped for WVU and Neal Brown - this is troubling to me as I had high hopes that Brown would be a great hire for WV - a young energetic coach on the way up - Just in the last week to 10 days the Mountaineers have lost 3 more defensive starters - leading tackler at MLB, top CB and all-conf DL --- that brings the total to 21 into the Portal and that is only counting those entering once the '21 season began until today. Several others left prior to the start of the '21 season. I think the total is somewhere into the mid-30s by now - The majority are moving up the ladder, not down --- Something is WRONG.

Re: Neal Brown
I've been really surprised and puzzled by Brown's lack of performance at WVU. I thought he was the real deal at Troy, but there does seem to be something wrong at WVU.

Re: Neal Brown
What is wrong, is the creation of the portal. Between that and NIL they are slowly destroying college ball.WVAPPeer wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 9:03 amThe bleeding has not stopped for WVU and Neal Brown - this is troubling to me as I had high hopes that Brown would be a great hire for WV - a young energetic coach on the way up - Just in the last week to 10 days the Mountaineers have lost 3 more defensive starters - leading tackler at MLB, top CB and all-conf DL --- that brings the total to 21 into the Portal and that is only counting those entering once the '21 season began until today.

Re: Neal Brown
I honestly don't have a major problem with the portal - it needs to be regulated with several qualifiers such as the portal is only open between Data A and Date B ---
I always felt it wasn't fair to the athletes that the coach/es who recruited them can up and leave after telling his/her recruits that he/she wasn't going anywhere, be there for your 4 years but if the athlete wanted to transfer they had to face the year sitting out --
