I have heard enough about Don Nehlen being such a poor football coach! If anyone out there was born before 1980, which I was born in 1963 let's hear from you. Bobby Bowden left after the 1975 season. After that the Mountaineers were mentioned in the same breath as Temple. I'm sure none of you have ever heard of Frank Cignetti,the coach between Bowden and Nehlen. I'm not knocking Frank, he went on to a great career at Indiana, Pa. Don took the college football world by storm,winning against teams like Florida in the Peach Bowl, Oklahoma coached by Barry Switzer, in the opener the next year, top 5 teams like Boston College (Doug Flutie), 0-4 against the Mountaineers. undefeated 1988, undefeated 1993, in the same year beat number 4 Miami Hurricanes in the same season. If you folks would take a look at the facts, you would realize that Rich Rodriguez just watered down the schedule and made himself look good. Quit worrying about Bill Stewart and his new staff,because most of them, including Bill are Nehlen's and Rod's staff. To make a long story short the Mounaineers have had pretty good football teams since 1891, and by the way I'm an ex-coal miner with 13 years experience!
