For all my old cbssports message board friends, do y’all remember a poster with the SN... indyrckstar? He had an avatar of Owen Schmitt beating his head with his helmet from the UofL game in ‘07.

I dont remember the name, but remember the avatar, but I guess others could have it??

Meyer has looked to be in pain all year, doubling over and holding his head, feel bad for him, great football coach, prime of life and can't keep doing what he loves.
Brown, I think is the guy, hope he can recruit here, the only knocks I have read about him at all are recruiting is lacking, but able assistants can make up for that. I keep reading reports of Luke Fickel, I think he would be a great coach here, would bring in three things that Holgorsen lacked that really held him back, Fickel WANTS to do the "CEO Crap", wants to be in charge and the face of the program, and he runs a structured, disciplined team and has strength and conditioning a priority, BUT would he come here, or wait in Cincy for the OSU job????

wait on the OSU job? Ryan Day has already been named coach, unless Fickell is playing the long game and "waiting" for the next decade or so....?

I would say he would be willing to see if they can Day after a couple down years, NOT waiting for a decade......you are smarter than that...…...

Pastilong would have already chosen Gibby as the new HC.

Gibby has been loyal, is loved by the players, has lots of familiarity with WVU and will be considered for the job. Bo Pellini has contacts with Lyons and Gee and I would not be surprised if he gets interest. Doc may be a good fit, but I doubt that happens.

My guess is that Lyons looks back to his Alabama roots and picks an assistant or former assistant of Nick Saban.

My wish list is that Lyons talks Saban into coming home to WV.

LOL!,,,you are saying Eddie P would have made the same mistake twice?..I agree...he would have taken the cheap way forward...

 

[Slaton10]

Everyone gives Pastilong grief, remember he hired Fraud, Beilein and Huggs, three of the best coaches WVU has had, not too bad!!!

Oh DAD...come on...He hired Rich on the cheap...He hired Belein because he F'd up that search with Dan Dakich and got Belkin in the cheap...and Hugg's was exiled in Manhattan Kansas...

 

[Slaton10]

Of the rumored names I've heard, Josh Heupel stands out for me. It has to be frustrating having 0 loses in two years and no respect.

Second big name I saw is Dan Enos, the OC at Bama. In all honesty, I think this is probably Lyons' guy.

One year.......

Pastilong got the grief for it, but he had been in secret talks with Fisher, Garrison and Manchin were the idiots that screwed it all up when they started running their mouths. Garrison brought more grief to WVU than any administrator in our history!!!!!

You can thank your just re-elected US Senator for that fiasco

He is hanging on the WVU message board sites. He is a moderator on Chris Anderson’s 247 site.

One year.......

Technically, 2. The LSU loss did come in 2019. Also came after I posted.

Heupel has a $10 million buyout, he ain't in the picture....

Correct!
I'm gonna wager my dollar on the coach from Troy.

That'd be my bet too, I like fickell, and think that he would be a good coach, but just don't think he would come.
There are several really good g5 coaches who would be good I think.

Man those blinders are stout!!!! Pastilong didn't screw up anything with Dakich, once he got here he realized that Catlett had left a bigger mess than he thought.

How did Dakich figure it out in 2 seconds and Pastilong was clueless?
