I've seen several people claiming to be insiders saying its 100% Neal to WV but have yet to see anyone with any credibility report it.

WV you can recruit Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, NC, SC and even FL, AL and GA. Only show in town (Except Marshall). WV has won big before, no reason they can't now. They get basketball players to go there, no reason they can't get good football players there either. Everyone has complemented Neal and his staff for the recruiting classes at Troy...what makes you think he can't at a good Big 12 school with tradition. Hope he stays but I can't blame him for taking this job if offered.

The saga continues. This could drag on. Whatever happens, the coaching pool isn't as dry as its made out to be. There are several guys with ties to Troy and coordinators out there that could do a good job. Not according to the WVU AD. He stated they will move fast.

Am I the only person that finds humor in the fact that hundreds of WVU fans (including a couple of their fan sites) said it's a done deal with Neal Brown 4 years 11.5 million. Now some of the same are reporting that CNB will interview for the job.

WVU fans are saying they’re getting their info from our message boards. There’s no credibility anywhere.

It is humorous to DT that so may associate Neal with "Air Raid".

Saw a tweet just minutes ago that Bronco Mendenhall has entered the picture - tweet says WVU and Mendenhall have a 4 year deal of $10.5 million. Just reporting what I've seen. @johnmoretti5 is the source.

Best I can tell from all the 100% FACTS, Neal and Bronco are the new co-head coaches with contracts in the neighborhood of 4 years $11 million. Luke Fickell and Rich Rod will be assistants. Again, this is all confirmed FACTS!

WVU does not have it in the budget to get wireless after your buyout!

I think the answers in the below article after “As for reasons why Fickell would stay?” are why CNB is going to end up at WVU. CNB does not have those roots in Alabama/Troy like Fickell has in Ohio. Plus Morgantown is just one hour away via plane from CNB‘s home. Fickell makes over $2 million now. Not as much a bump as CNB would get from $900k. amp.cincinnati.com/amp/2463622002

WVU fan here, I’m just here to say that no one on our end knows squat! Brown, Fickell or no one else has been hired! I am no “insider”, but neither are any of the other WVU posters on here or twitter.

Been off the grid - has Holgerson been announced? Yes, they announced it earlier today. WVU put out a statement saying they plan to hire someone sooner rather than later. Also, there have been certain supposed insiders claiming that Neal Brown has already informed his players that he is leaving. This is not true.

The athletic dept. took in $110 million last year. We're ok... Lol That is a fact. And with more to come. Yes we are not the so called Mighty Sec. But we are the 15th all time winning college football team. We should not be in the B12 should be in the Acc. But they have money. Go look at what they have done to upgrade football baseball basketball soccer . So if your saying we can not pay his buyout your way off base. With that said I really understand you do not want him to leave. And I really do feel for the fan's . We been there. And really till Shane and Gee agree then nothing is in stone. But I really think most of our message board people and we have a lot of them want Neil . Btw go play Marshall and kick there A**

I don't know if I'd be willing to take something as credible info from someone that seems to be legit bat S***.

Interesting things from WVUWire
WVUWire has been told that barring any unforeseen last minute inclusions the choice is between Fickell and Brown.
WUWire has also learned that both are willing to accept the position given the right circumstances. However, with the rumored price tag Lyons is putting on the position ($2.5-$3 million per year) is one some feel Brown may be being advised to hold out on for a bigger payday in the future given he is such a hot commodity right now.
Brown’s contract buyout is reportedly $2.9 million. Fickell’s current buyout at Cincinnati if he were to leave currently sits at $2.75 million.
