If I were a Hoopie fan, that would have been my #1 choice.

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

A logical hire. Took Troy into the top 25, first time a Sun Belt team had ever done that. Three straight 10/11 win seasons. Air raid guy, coached at Texas Tech too.

Will be interesting to see if he can recruit at Big 12 levels.

 

[JoseLind13]

Seems like a very good hire for them.

 

[NCLee]

Excellent hire for WVU. He’ll have a better offense air raid mike Leach style....and a different defense

 

[Pizzaboy1]

We are happy!

That is the big question. I wonder if Mike Leach was on their radar.

That crazy SOB would always be on mine.

Only two guys were on the radar and I would of taken either one.I think WVU knew that they weren't on Leach's radar.

The Dude of West Virginia (Christopher Lambert) has been begging for this hire for a week. Claims he could be the next Nick Saban... LOL... He’s so full of sh*t...

If that’s the case, he won’t be at West Virginia long.

It's the next Dabo now.

The Dude had his 15 minutes of fame with conference realignment and now just stays in his Holler drinking shine.

Hey, the ACC is going to implode when Miami, FSU, Clemson, and Va Tech join the Big 12.

No offense to you or your beloved Mountaineers, but that’s A HUGE statement to make. Sure Brown could be the next Saban, but let’s see what he does first before we say such things...

 

[sappycrease]

He'll fail. They never should of let Holgy go.

The WVU football job is a lot like the PITT basketball job. After the move to a new conference, it's going to be extremely difficult to recruit and sustain any level of success being the geographical outlier.

Yup. Then he admitted later that he made it all up....

7-5
8-4
10-2
9-3
9-3

He will do what everyone does ar WVU

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

They've had one losing season since 2002 and have finished ranked eight times in that period. Two sugar, one fiesta, one orange bowl win in that time. It's a well run program considering all its challenges.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

A lot of that was pre alignment though. The one division b12 is a killer.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Brown will be extremely successful there and matriculate to FSU in a few years when they fire Taggart.

 

[Pizzaboy1]

Time will tell about Brown.This year is going to be mediocre at best.The great West Virginian Nick Saban would go 7-5 at the best with Rich Rod as OC and Jimbo Fisher as DC.
