WVU's Brown is out

[Gregpitt]

Fired and team meeting now to let them know.

[TheSpecialSauce]

I’m going to miss Neal. Hopefully they hire an even worse coach.

 

[Pittnerski]

Hopefully another mid major lottery pick, slightly worried Jimbo might be in the fold as I think he’d thrive in a lesser conference

 

[Flynn #5]

It'll be Nick Saben. Just ask any hoopie.

Or Jimbo Fisher...

Jimbo won't take that job unless there is a commitment to get players.

Jimbo is the Calipari of college football.

Honest question, can they afford a known commodity coach. They may have to get a younger guy who comes cheap.

Who do you consider to be a known commodity coach?

No current P4 coach with job security is going to WVU, imo.

[ThePanthers]

I’ve seen psu OC as a candidate

Can they afford any coach? I thought the buyout of Neal's contract was exorbitant.

$9.5 m is the buyout

I think it's about $9 million.

Idk if he would be interested, but I think Dan Mullen would be a good fit there.

Kudos to the mountaineers for not settling for mediocrity thinking that is the best they can achieve.

6 years & he only had one season with more than 6 wins.

6 years & he only had one season with more than 6 wins.

they were 8-4 last year I believe. According to some here, that would be worth tenure for the Pitt head coaching position.

 

[Pitt2009]

Rich Rod II?

What is WVU's NIL budget compared to Pitt?

you tell me, I asked you this in another thread.

 

[TD_6082]

Idk. But I will go on record as predicting WVU football will remain mediocre & irrelevant.

I'll drink to that.

 

[TD_6082]

I'll drink to that.

WVU is actually one program I thought would really benefit from NIL.

Apparently not.

 

[ThePanthers]

They were going to fire him last year and then 8 wins happened so they kept him. Plus his buyout is lower now.

Pitt is coming off a conference championship and 11 win season only 3 years ago and 9 wins two years ago. Can still get 8 wins this year.

If narduzzi loses the bowl game and has a .500 or so season next year then the heat should get blazing hot if not fired.

I don’t think Pitt is settling for anything.

 

[pittmeister]

Or Jimbo Fisher...

West Virginia coaching candidates: Jimbo Fisher, Barry Odom among options to replace Neal Brown

The Mountaineers ousted Brown on Sunday after six largely mediocre seasons with the program

I don't see anyone on that list that makes me think good hire other than Mullen, and I have a hard time believing he'd take that job.

Rich Rod would be JM 2 for them. I know they're all excited of the prospects of Fisher, but I'm not sure that's gonna work there. Big difference recruiting at FSU and A&M vs WVU.

My guess is they'll probably hire Odom which probably will be about equal to what Brown was. 3-4 years, rinse and repeat.

 

[HailtoPitt]

They should hire Mike Gundy. Sounds like he's on the way out at OSU.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Looking more and more like Rich Rod.

 

[Cmart2004]

It'll be Nick Saben. Just ask any hoopie.

Bill Belichick is also available.

 

[cbpitt2]

There are Hoopies that actually believe that Saban or Jimbo would take the job for free. Scary.
