Lose Saturday at home to Kansas and there will be a lot more Chickeneer fans asking "What has Brown done for us lately?"!

I really think WVU will struggle to get 6 wins. If so, Brown will be fired.

I'm pretty sure the 'Neers will be firing their coach after the season, so the answer is us.

If WVU fires Brown after January 1, 2023 the school would have to pay Brown approximately $17 million to buy out his contract.  Brown's contract runs through 2026.  He signed a 2 year extension in 2021.  His buy out drops $3-4 million every year.

I doubt the Who is willing to gamble that kind of money on a new HC plus the cost of a search and new staff.

What???  Did they sign Hamwreck to a consulting contract prior to that move?

Hell, WVU won't worry about any buyout costs.  They'll get Bray(ing) Jacka$$ Cary and the other major "puppet string pullers" down there in Charleston to give a yank or two and "poof" ole Big Jim Justice in the Statehouse will just cut ole Gordy Gee a blank check!!  Way State "germint" down in the Capital City has ALWAYS operated when it comes to catering to the whims and wishes of the State's "Flags*#p"!!

Thinking they'll go either 6-6 or 5-6.

However, if they play running back CJ Donaldson more, they may get more wins.

During the Pitt game, I was surprised they didn't use Donaldson on the notorious 4th and inches.

If I remember correctly, he was getting something like 17 yards per carry up to that point.

I'll never get used to WVU even being in a conference with teams like Kansas. It makes no sense. It's like the P5 version of C-USA.

Too darn bad, puma, that Herd Fans just can't "click their heels 3 times" and permanently send that whole darn outfit up in the Hole, lock, stock and barrel, out to some desolate spot on the Kansas plains!  :)
