On my Birthday earlier this month, WVU fired Neal Brown as our football coach, it was a little bitter sweet because he was really a nice guy, but his teams just lacked that edge that we once had. After about a week and a half of searching, Wren Baker extended an offer Wednesday Evening, went down and picked him and his family up on Thursday and Re-introduced our greatest coach ever to a new generation of Mountaineer Fans yesterday as Pat McAfee had his ESPN show here yesterday as Rich was officially being re-intruduced to the Mountaineers as their Head Coach. I think it was an absolute home run hire by Wren and wanted Rich to return when Dana left then again two years ago when they were in discussions of releasing Neal Brown then.
We had held all of our coaches since Rich, to the standards that Rich established, that for this coaching search it only made sense to go bring back the man who set the standards. I am ecstatic to say the least. West Virginia has lacked that edge that Rich instilled into his players since he left, he is very tough to play for and he will put a team on the field that will be tougher than whoever we face no matter who that is. The excitement returns!!!!!
Have yourselves a great day, I will.
