    I hate this hire with every fiber of my being. And I know all these apologists will be smug as fuck if he sees any level of success. I’m gonna need multiple years of relevancy and ranked play before I’m ready to forgive that man.

    Not to mention the dude can’t stop being in sex scandals cause he’s a philanderer.

    Rich Rod’s first stint at WVU was before I followed college football (obviously I am aware of his success and the crazy 2007 season) so I will only speak to his coaching ability in recent years (not gonna touch his abysmal Wolverine stint): I think he is going to win more games than the average candidate would at WVU. It is downright impressive to win 10 games at Arizona and also to guide an FCS team up to FBS to win a conference (I know CUSA stinks but it’s still not easy). Even if he doesn’t come close to the success he had in the Big East days, I expect him to be better than Holgo and Brown.

    That being said, I heard Anthony Becht’s name floated and I would much rather have him if I were a Mountaineer.

      My BIL is all in on it. Big McAfee fan (not my cup of tea, but I don’t hate on him like others do, he has his role). Went to the event at the coliseum to watch this AM and has been amped all morning. Idgaf what RichRod says, dudes a fuckin snake. Ubtil he delivers a product worthy of my support, he doesn’t have it. He doesn’t get to start over at 0 just cause it’s been 17 years.
