Weak schedule? WVU plays in a conference they don’t fit in and have trouble recruiting to it. It’s all relative I mean he’s playing the big 12 but he’s coaching a big 12 team. Plus he only has 1 ooc gimme. I’m not proclaiming him at the top of the mountain yet but I’m not going to undercut him on this season whatsoever.
What a gauntlet. I bet they’d trade for Florida’s schedule in a heartbeat!
Lost to almost all the ranked teams we played...including a couple blow outs.
That is true.
Utah won the Pac 12, an actual power 5 conference. As long as they have their coach the Utes should by far be the class of the B12.
Nobody is comparing the big 12 to sec
I’m happy for the guy, but this isn’t reality. He has been on the hot seat for the last couple seasons with year to year decisions, and he’s been there a while. Zero consistency at WVA at best, I get he has UK ties but I don’t understand why people would want him here. He’s almost a carbon copy of what we have and stoops is better. Happy for him, but I wish him luck from afar personally, I wouldn’t want him here. As football changes, it’s needs younger more dynamic football minds imo
I think it balances out with ucf game where they were outgained but ucf had 4-5 turnovers iirc
“Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah will become members in the summer of 2024 joining Baylor, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia.”
FWIW, talking heads last night raving about Brown's freshmen class.
If he can replicate this the next two years, then he makes it into the conversation, but I'm not sure the air raid is where Mitch will be looking, unless the primary options don't materialize.
BS
Whatever, believe what you wish. And the people doing the game were the ones who were complimentary of his recruiting class, not me....take it up with them.
The thing is he should have already been at the level, based off his time there. Everyone was shocked when he wasn't fired last year. It doesn't mean he cannot turn it around, this is true and once you get there, he has a shot to maintain it in the new (lesser mind you) big 12, but his shine has lessened. He is still young, I thought he was closer to 50 (which is still young) but my point about a more dynamic coaching, is more about style than age. I respectfully disagree on the list though, I do not think Brown will ever be on a list for a new coach here unless its just out of respect for his KY ties or we have went south and looking for the best we can get. West Va is a better job in theory. It has a passionate fan base, good backing, decent facilities and in a lesser conference and Brown has underachieved most seasons. He isn't the rising star you think he is, even if he hits 10 games next season. I will admit though, seeing as he is just 43, he has time to grow and regain it, so we will see. For me, I just don't think he is that great of coach, or I should say more of an elite non power 5 coach
