WVU Football Neal Brown Pitt Postgame 09/14/24

[@TheJoshSpiroff]

Running CJ to the outside from the shotgun instead of downhill out of the pistol is insane to me.

[@mikedoggett1705]

Yessssss over and over again.. I could not believe it! NB play calling is absolutely ridiculous.. I mean it’s common sense.

[@JoshGill-qh1iq]

exactly

[@RedBone-q2v]

What do you expect from a coach who hasn't updated his playbook or haircut since 5th grade?

[@deluxplus]

6 years is a large enough sample size to know this ain’t it!!! … time for a new face of the program

[@Leeroy8033]

We trusted the climb all the way into the dumpster fire.

[@seanmills7255]

Couldn't agree more. Brown is not a D1 level coach. He still goes for talent that would be good at Troy not at wvu

[@chance2enzo]

Baker and Gee need to be taking the questions. This guy is simply over his head and being paid millions for it.

[@09rrichter]

100%.. been saying he is in over his head for 2 years. Game prep is terrible...can't recruit. Same speech every year. Wish people would stop defending him.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

And to think at one time people were afraid he’d be lured away by a bigger school because he would be so successful…

[@davidframe1613]

Thank God gee is retiring next year and hopefully the next West Virginia president clean house. I'm talking Baker all way down to the janitor. Baker can't get the job done and I don't want to hear about money go get a loan and buy this guy out and hire a Peewee League football coach same results. Just get him away from our program. Ridiculous all these people make all this money and do nothing.

[@richrivers1232]

For the love of God Wren Baker - FIRE HIM TOMORROW!!!!

[@davidframe1613]

I don't know if Baker knows what he's doing I did like his two basketball hires but he was brought in to fix the football program and I don't see him doing it. Maybe it's time for Baker to just go on down the road. Take the country road right into the city road maybe this ain't the place for you.

[@JM2theB]

I haven’t been this disappointed in a loss since 2007… Brown should be absolutely embarrassed to lose this game in that way…

[@mattddstoll7465]

Ridiculous. Coaching was awful. Preparation was terrible. Players are wide eyed early. We are in big trouble here.

[@RedBone-q2v]

This ENTIRE coaching staff needs to go!! Trust the climb? The climb of losing stats?

[@Leeroy8033]

The climb into the dumpster fire.

[@Earthether]

Fxx the climb

[@aaronadkins4259]

Fire Neal Brown

[@jlowex2013]

last WVU game I'll watch with NB

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

Hopefully none of the remaining games will be televised so nobody has to suffer through watching them.

[@tmurph247]

Last game i will attend as long as NB is coach, drove 12 hrs from GA to see this, only to watch it all come apart in the last 5 minutes. #FireNealBrown ​@Commentleaver-c6x

[@davidframe1613]

Hopefully they are put on ESPN plus where nobody watches anyhow 😂🤣 football program is completely embarrassing to the whole state. Just glad WVU doesn't play Marshall we would never hear the end of that.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@davidframe1613 I have ESPN+ but only because it’s included with Hulu live, which keeps going up and up in price…

[@josephlaw2744]

Please fire Jordan Leslie immediately. That's awful.

[@wvusop]

Fire the whole staff. They shouldn’t have been let on the team bus after the game.

[@williammeeks1283]

He won't fire his ass buddy

[@seanmills7255]

Fire Neal Brown immediately

[@jasonclick6755]

Starting with Neil

[@andrewjackson6763]

But not fire Brown? What’s wrong with you?

[@DJBumgarner]

We haven't covered well in 6 year and he thinks it's only been 3 weeks. What a joke.

[@UHSftball54]

He just told us last week it was easily fixable and we were just calling basic plays vs Albany. We all know he’s full of sh*t. I don’t even think he believes what he says anymore before or after games.

[@dereks1263]

"youll never hear me blame the officials" after having blamed them for the past 2 losses to pitt. This guys a clown

[@BJtheMountaineerguy]

How did we lose that game. Im done with WVU football until some changes are made. I’m so sick of this coaching staff lying to the fans about the secondary

[@mattddstoll7465]

This guy doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand WVU.

[@therealbosshoss1]

I think he does understand, but can’t get it done for us

[@UHSftball54]

He doesn’t understand power 4 football. Hypes up this team all preseason, calls out ncaa and espn for not being ranked. Says he has a heisman candidate Qb. Said on a radio show that he has 4 NFL caliber wide receivers. He’s so far over his head it’s not even funny anymore, get him out of here.

[@michaelbarton7049]

How many years do we have to deal with complacent clock management costing us games?

[@firemaker7016]

You can lose every game on the schedule, but you DO NOT LOSE TO PITT OR VT!!!!

[@Joe-sm9qj]

The play calls were dreadful on our last drive. Still making too many dumb mistakes

[@TannerTracks]

3 star talent mistakes. Great teams typically have 4/5 stars and that level does not make the kind of mistakes that we do. Smh

[@ahmedkhalil680]

Fire him

[@EvanWV96]

Officiating aside, we beat ourselves. There is no excuse to blowing a 10 point lead in that game. Offense has had its moments but there has to be accountability on defense and that starts with Jordan Lesley. The “climb” isn’t happening with him at DC. He has to go, and Neal’s not far behind him if there’s not legitimate and immediate change.

[@asmith-pf5zc]

32 wins and 31 losses in 5.2 years Not a change maker or winning coach

[@richrivers1232]

BINGO

[@davidframe1613]

I think I could be a better coach or equal to Neal Brown as far as wins and I will do it for free. What's the worst can happen we don't matter I mean isn't that what's going on now??

[@Jaydeekay-f7f]

Wren better be working on his coaching list

[@RedBone-q2v]

Wren doesn't know any better. He and Brown are counting their millions.

[@toddpatrick8254]

He's not. Those two are Butt Buddies

[@Dawgpound205]

Baker is in over his head just like Brown is. I mean, look at his basketball hire.

[@KevinCroy-sz9wq]

There not going to fire anybody, there cheap.

[@davidframe1613]

The list starts with Nick Saban then Jimbo Fisher and possibly Doc Holliday experience coaches that have West Virginia ties if they all say no which they probably will then you go get an older experience coach I'm done with these young guys.

[@williammeeks1283]

Worst defense I've ever seen. Makes tony Gibson look amazing

[@nflisrigged1395]

Lolllll

[@brandonfrench5421]

Fire Neal brown and im not coming to another game until he is fired.

[@davidframe1613]

That's what it's going to take to get rid of him. WVU can go get a loan and buy them all out and charge more for tickets and concessions to pay it off.

[@dakotamccoy4223]

Hopefully Wren sees that 90% or more of these comments are calling for his job. It's simply time. I wanted him to work out, says and does all the right things. Seems like a really good person. That doesn't factor into winning football games at the highest level. WVU never stood a chance against Penn St. and we as fans should not be ok with that. As for today, we can talk about the players all we want but this was enough for me as far as the coaching goes. When I was growing up, WVU was winning most if not all of our big games on national television. This is our team -- all we got -- we don't have anyone to rally on come Sundays. It has to be better. When did WVU become comfortable with mediocrity?

[@loganwentz7795]

Neal needs to understand that this is a business and Lesley isn’t the answer

[@MikeM2003]

Neither is Brown, both need to go

[@RedBone-q2v]

Brown isn't the answer either.

[@RivetCityRamsey]

​@RedBone-q2v is hard to disagree. I like the dude, but there is no excuse for such undisciplined play this far into his tenure. The defense is lost out there.

[@seanmills7255]

Brown is an issue too we need a new head coach down that can evaluate and draw in D1 talent

[@andrewjackson6763]

You need to understand that Brown isn’t the answer, but the fact that you still don’t understand that means that you obviously have something wrong with you.

[@eerslink5498]

"Our personnel is our personnel. It's not like we have people waiting in the bull pen." Absolute GARBAGE comment! Never throw your guys under the bus. Plus, you can't tell me that those guys have never covered the pass ever in their lives. That's all on coaching.

[@RedBone-q2v]

One of the lowest comments in the history of WVU post game shows.

[@wvpatriot1301]

He said a lot with that Statement

[@patrickweigel7448]

I think HCNB is totally correct. There are no players in the bullpen. And why is that? Because the recruiting he has done is just not good enough and the coaching they've done is just not good enough.

[@adspur]

That’s how you lose a team

[@UHSftball54]

He just said preseason that they were studs… and then said after last week it was easily fixable. He’s spent 6 years telling us that our eyes aren’t actually seeing what we think we’re seeing. Saying a missed block cost us the last series on offense!? You ran into an 8+ man box 45 times this game. Get this dude the hell outta here.

[@shawnbledsoe1730]

Fire all of them, this has ran its course. Im effing done.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

This game definitely gets him fired, whether it’s in season or after remains to be seen. At least 5 more losses coming. Him cussing shows he knows it’s over.

[@joebloe28]

Neal needs to go. After 6 years this shit gets old

[@Iamthehethetheyandthehim]

This is the ceiling for WVU football under Neal Brown's leadership

[@RonSavino]

This always happens to us. As an alum, it is very frustrating to watch this year after year. We don’t know how to finish a game. Embarrassing and frustrating. My Ghosh, it happens literally all the time with us.

[@jeremiahunderwood8448]

My sister watched her first game yesterday, and I told her after that amazing passing touchdown WVU got, I said "historically, this is where they lose it."

[@torinsamples2793]

This is an accumulation of events that have been set forth in 2020-2021. We had a great defensive mind in alumni Jahmile Addae wasn’t promoted (deservingly) to DC over Jordan Lesley. He then left (taking with him numerous transfers) from Tykee Smith in his short stint at UGA then ahkeem mesidor and Daryl Porter to Miami. Neal Brown is so loyal that he makes terrible front office decisions. He needs to be fired because of his incompetencies in management. With Addae WVU had a top 10 defense, without him we are left with his “friend” Jordan Lesley’s incompetence.

[@ericferguson851]

Leslie gotta go

[@bradboo]

All us fans should protest Wren Bakers office and make sure this mofo is gone by the end of the week.

[@davidframe1613]

We get a new president at WVU next year he will probably fire Baker if Baker hasn't solved the problem.

[@bradboo]

@@davidframe1613 valid point

[@ProudAppalachianAmerican]

We got outcoached plain and simple. Especially on defense. Why would you stop doing what was clearly working? There’s been no stronger supporter of Neal Brown than me but I’m out. I have better things to do than waste nice fall days watching the coaching staff lose games that should be won. It’s always the same old “we got to work on some things”- ya think???!!!

[@Goeers206]

I really like Brown as a person and what he stands for as far as culture, but this game was inexcusable. Unless he can pull a rabbit out of a hat and somehow gets us in the Big 12 title game, he needs to be replaced at the end of the season. Rebuilds suck, but spinning tires also gets old. Regardless of how we feel about Brown as a coach though, we shouldn't turn our back on the players, we should still support them. That's not fair to them.

[@UHSftball54]

We’ve been waiting 6 years for the rabbit and we all know it’s not coming. There is no big 12 title. There is no heisman QB. There is no fixing this secondary. There is him barely beating the worst teams in the conference and losing to everyone else by varying degrees. This thing is over.

[@Goeers206]

@UHSftball54 There are still 9 games, OSU was in the same position last year and made it to the title game. All the fans want a well established coach and not another G5 coach or coordinator from another institution, you can only do that with money. With revenue sharing on our doorstep, WVU doesn't have the money to pay Brown's buyout, a lucrative contract for a well established coach, and the upwards of 23m for revenue sharing. Until Brown's contract dwindles, it's not realistic to fire him because for the type of coach fans want, we can't get by paying two coaches and while trying to hit the Rev sharing cap.

[@philipsayre7668]

Hey Neal, thanks for sucking the fun and any hope this fan base had, right out of the season. Over and over again

[@Darkside-to6bs]

I have often wondered how coaches such as Brown are hired when it is obvious to even the casual fan that he is incompetent.

[@MBheli621]

Shows that this college football coaching gig is an optics thing. Not one person could say Brown was qualified for the job but he was a “nice guy”. Imagine how many coaches in this college football landscape have made fortunes by just having a nice southern accent and a smile. Never have to demonstrate a lick of talent or competency. It’s pretty wild if you think about it.

[@mikedoggett1705]

Per the usual… Most ridiculous play calling I’ve ever seen. Running a 235 lb back east and west so the speed of the defense can collapse and stuff the play.. unbelievable… over and over.

[@MrDavesrock]

We aren't playing WVU football because our coach can't coach that way.

[@charliehenderson38]

Looking at the schedule for the remainder of the year we could possibly win 2-3 more games

[@davidframe1613]

I would say don't look for wins look for other teams to be worse than us and they lose the game. Maybe someone's quarterback gets injured and we can beat them by a point or two

[@justingraham9417]

Not a personal attack against this man but let's just be real with ourselves it's time to make a change this entire coaching staff isn't it. 6 years and this team has been the true definition of mediocrity

[@michaelcraddock7525]

I'll always be a mountaineers fan win or lose, but my gosh Neal Brown and the rest of the coaching staff needs to GO Literally 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, we had a strong lead and had this game won, and we blew it. In my opinion WVU deserves a fresh start..

[@Genman510]

I miss old time WVU football. 😢

[@davidframe1613]

Maybe we would be better to get rid of the football program and just show old films at Mountaineer stadium of us playing. We would definitely win more. 🤔🤔

[@mikeowens7528]

I think West Virginia fans deserve better than Neil Brown

[@RedBone-q2v]

Nicco would be smart to transfer from this Titanic of football teams.

[@davidframe1613]

I would say you'll start seeing transfers if we lose to Kansas for sure. Nicco Marchiol probably should transfer if he can find a starting spot somewhere I agree. I just don't see Neal Brown been here next year. Nicco Marchiol would be under a new coach and a new program and they may not go with him.

[@tmurph247]

FIRE THE ENTIRE COACHING STAFF TOMORROW!!!!!! How the hell do you lose a game up ten with less than 5 minutes to go.

[@RedBone-q2v]

This same ole excuse needs to start wearing clown makeup in public.

[@Danjan1208]

Wren Baker, please fire this guy. The Neal brown experiment has run its course, he’s not going to miraculously become a better coach. Time to move on

[@scottmcbride2237]

Lol..wow. .the fact is that the coaching staff sucks. The play calling was horrible. Browns quote " our personal is are personal. it isn't like we got people waiting in the bullpin" he just threw all his players under the bus. Crazy. And they said that fixing the secondary was an easy fix.

[@patrickweigel7448]

When the players you have keep playing poorly for three games now and there is nobody else ready to play, he called it right. He called out the players, in general, and the coaching staff. As he should. They all are doing a poor job.

[@UHSftball54]

@@patrickweigel7448the same players he hyped up all off season? The same players he evaluated and recruited and pursued in the transfer portal? That are aligned in the absolute worst defensive calls for the situation - I.E. Houston Hail Mary, Penn state before half, Pitt today 2nd and 30. It always was, and still is the coaching. And Neal brown is the head coach.

[@Isaac-ec8bz]

Worst coach in WVU history. Can’t believe he is still the coach

[@davidframe1613]

Unfortunately you're right he is the worst coach in Mountaineer history.

[@Earthether]

[@rollme1kenobi768]

FYI Wren Baker! After 6 years, this climbing shit aint working.

[@samcorbitt1680]

Climbs over. You play to put your defense on the field. Knowing they haven’t stopped anything all season. That’s on the coach. Played not to lose. Happens more times than I’d like to count. 3-9

[@UHSftball54]

This is exactly it. You ran the clock down intentionally, playing to not lose, and relied on your defense??!!! You guaranteed yourself to not get another meaningful possession on offense, and relied on the absolute worst part of your entire team to not lose you the game…. How can any coach be this brain dead !?

[@roybovee]

Fan base should boycott the games. That will send a message to Wren.

[@asmith-pf5zc]

Ask Coach Brown why did he run the ball on two plays with 3 minutes to go ? Why not give Garrett three opportunities to run or pass ? Bad play calling by Byy to own that cost WVU the game

[@RedBone-q2v]

That question would be over this clowns head!

[@QueenCity]

Neal Brown is the worst coach in WVU history

[@davidframe1613]

Bingo you win

[@tommyjohnson3294]

I thought we were supposed to be ranked in the Top 25.

[@davidframe1613]

Who told you that?? That's really drinking the Kool-Aid 🤣😂

[@barrysowards9383]

Please fire Jordan Leslie. He is weak on defense. He has never been good. He calls Defensive plays not to lose rather than play to win.

[@woodgrenade7294]

Neil nothing personal but you got to go

[@edwardpietrowski8962]

Neil Brown is unbelievable. Take some responsibility as a coaching staff. This guy is worse than a high school coach. These losses lie at the feet of the coaching staff and not the players or the refs. WVU needs a redo!

[@davidframe1613]

That's what I said let's just bring in a high school football coach and fire him that way when we lose we will all understand. $4 million for what?? I could do as good as job and do it for free.

[@philipsayre7668]

Greene has SUCKED this yr and he’s been my favorite player

[@davidframe1613]

I think he acts like he's injured but don't be too hard on him he's a young guy but this coaching staff really sucks and needs to go.

[@Earthether]

Just stop buying ticket still when fires him

[@davidframe1613]

That's probably what it takes Wren Baker doesn't seem very capable of doing his job. Just fire the guy and hire a high school football coach to replace him to save money. At least we will understand when the high school football coach loses.

[@JohnnieGreen-x4l]

Brown said they didn't cover the pass well, and he needs to fix it, ya had all off season and it's still broke.

[@tmurph247]

They didn't cover anything well, and that goes back for the last 6yrs.

Bro, he has had 6 years.

[@bigdaddystumps7930]

2nd & 30 and we run 1 high safety lmao

[@JohnLaPorta-b4b]

3min to go, up by 10. Just get two first downs, bad play calling in this instance. At other critical times, the play calling is suspect.

[@robertmeeker5751]

So we just need to accept being mediocre! Sorry the secondary has been an issue for 4/5 years. It’s time somebody owns up and accepts they are in over their head!!

[@UHSftball54]

Neal & Coaching staff preseason: we have an athletic and awesome secondary and should in top 25. Neal & staff after first 2 games: everything in the secondary is fixable and our defense was intentionally basic, relax everyone. After the Pitt game: ok yeah we suck and the players we hyped up are playing terrible and we have nobody else to put in either. These guys are a joke ! All talk! Throw your players that you recruited under the bus. We’ve watched your movie for 6 years and it’s beyond predictable.

[@dennisjeffries229]

lets picture this Brown, then go see it as you claim, we 10 points up, we have the ball, and you send Donalson east and west, rather where the front line can make holes, not once but twice, you could not gain 10 yards, this was twice it happens, in a game where there was 3:30 left, twice you could not make a first down to win the game. You play too conservatively, play to win, and worry about the other coaches feeling after you secure the win. Brown, just 3 games in, and still under 50%, you are as good now as in 6 years, you haven't gotten better!
