WVU Firing Brown
- Thread starter YaketySax
- Start date
I liked NB when he was here, but after he left Troy, never did much of note at WVU, and once Texas and Oklahoma left B12, no reason for them not to be further up the food chain in that conference.
Offensive coordinator at UK?
Wouldn’t be the worst thing. We can probably pull him from there in a couple years
He scored more points/ PPG with less talent than any other oc under stoops 12 years here!
Don't see WV firing a coach then hiring his prodigy as his replacement.

Wow, see how easy it is to get rid of a FB coach all except Ky.
Rumors are that Brown may take the UMass gig. If I were him, I'd shy far away from that. Seems like the job to kill a career.
He’s a UMass grad so that would be the only draw. I agree..that is a dead end job. He can 100% get a decent gig as an OC, probably making more money.
He may have changed his mind but his family has told people I know in Danville for a couple of years that if he gets fired he’s coming back there to mess around on his farm since he has plenty of money to live there. May just be grandparent wishful thinking too.
UMASS grad? WTF are you talking about? He played under Mumme. Where'd you get that?
I mean, Danville High School has a coaching vacancy right now (even though I know Neal went to Boyle).
Haha. I don’t think anybody with half a brain would touch that place right now. The school is horribly run now
He certainly doesn't need the money. What did aTm pay him to walk? $70M or something.
Somewhat surprising. He has a hell of a squad last year. 6-6 this year isn't great but it ain't 4-7 either.
He's 5-1 in bowl games has won over 70 games as a HC. I could see him going OC route at a P4 for a couple years. Still a very young coach at 44.

Jimbo is waking up to golf in Hawaii tomorrow morning (or doing something similar) and that's not extraordinary. If I was him, I'd be done coaching after that buyout. Sumbitch can live like a king on conservative investment income the rest of his life. Is he a stress junky?
It's WVU! Why do you insist on doing this? I know this has been pointed out to you before. If you are in fact from Ashland you are bound to have seen WVU gear all of your life.
Please explain yourself.
I’d trust NB to run a more competent offense than anything we e seen here (sans Coen)
He RUNS the ball more than he throws it. It’s not Air Raid anymore.
Saban and Fisher both from WVA and Rich Rod also in the mix sounds like they may have offered to Saban.
I would also point out that the annual schedule at wvu includes 9 conference games and Pitt and Penn state. Only get one money game win a season.
Stoops had the luxury of starting the season 4-0 with cupcakes and a down Louisville. Now Brohm has overtaken him in only two years.
Exactly. Jimbo playing in the same league and more talent and couldn't win. How is he going to win with less talent at UK? He played in the ACC and won the title before the playoffs expanded. Florida State was a shell of itself when he left.
I was watching the Cats when Bill Curry was the coach. Alabama was thrilled for him to leave. The top programs in football are not getting rid of good coaches. He was pushed out for a reason.
