I suspect WV will go after the proven winner, Jimbo Fisher. Not that it will work out, but I feel I read somewhere there was interest at least on Jimbo's end.
West Virginia opening
- Thread starter cyfanatic1990
- Start date
Gerry Faust went directly from High School to Notre Dame.
Mike Shula was a career NFL assistant before going to Alabama.
Joey McGuire went directly from High School to Texas Tech.
If coaching Rocco is a first order goal this seems shortsighted.
Why coach him 2 years at WVU when you could coach him for 5-10 in St. Louis?
Regardless, I think we’d likely find the blood of the covenant is actually not thicker than the water of the womb if Coach Becht ends up in Morgantown.
Why do you have no doubt? What do you know?
Rocco and his Dad say they love their experience with CMC, staff, program, university and town. Rocco is firmly entrenched in a program that has won 10 games so far this season. Why would Dad want to disrupt that and dig is kid out of that?
Maybe Dad does? So, I ask, what do you know?
Agree. People seem to assume Anthony Becht would be targeted for WVU's HC. Could be they hire a guy like Jimbo and he hires AB as OC or position coach. Jimbo's 59 so maybe he coaches at WVU for 6-8 years and grooms AB to take over.
Being a college coordinator is in the weeds, pays well and they deal with half the BS that head coaches have to deal with.
Good grief. Some of you people just like to be miserable and create unnecessary drama. The job is Kotelnicki’s to lose. If he’s interested, he’s the best candidate. B12 experience with KU, and proven he’s capable of winning.
Also, I believe this is Bakers first FB coaching hire so it needs to be a good one. Becht isn’t the big splash that he needs.

If not already pointed out, I’d be fine rolling the dice with Moberly next year based on what I’ve seen.
Why are people thinking a UFL head coach is that different than a college coach? He’s just need to hire an experienced recruiting coordinator. The football side isn’t that different.
You could be correct. Me, I can't see it. So, here we fans are, projecting onto other people what our beliefs and values are; I'm thinking we don't have much of a clue.
(Me, I'd be stunned if Rocco followed his Dad to WVU. But, who the hell knows? Any of us?)
It would be a Holberg type move. Risky on the field, but he’d win over the fan base.
About as concerned as I should be that Angelina Jolie is going to slide into my DMs and ask me to leave my wife for her.
I read somewhere that Jimbo's buyout is guaranteed no matter what. Even if he takes another job.
If he thinks his dad gave him the best shot at the nfl, he'd go...and he should. That was a main takeaway I got from dad interview. They stayed not because they love ames... but because they had the best weapons to help Rocco. I am a bit nervous about next year because he loses the top 2 targets.
Would he at first though? I remember many of the posters on here thought FH was a gimmick hire at the time and then he created transfer U and absolutely revamped ISU bball program
I love Becht as a player at WVU, but there is zero chance he gets head coach job. Great guy--maybe a te coach.
RROD wouldnt want your qb, he prefers qb who is more option-type and they need to be very fast and able to take a beating.
I think ISU would be more likely to lose him to a big-name program that makes him an offer he can't refuse. LSU needs a qb, just saying.
Maybe a team like LSu hires the dad and then makes him an offer of twice what's he's getting at ISU?
I dont see WVU as a threat.

This.
Rocco is 100% the unquestioned starter, and deservedly so.
But if we're being objective, his value has mostly been as a gamer and a leader, a nicer way of saying a game manager.
Those traits are essential to being a successful quarterback, no doubt. But the physical or statistical component is very important too, and he hasn't exactly blown anyone away in that regard much of the time.
I'm very excited to see what Moberly and the Algona kid coming in can do when the time comes. But the ball is in Rocco's court when that happens as long as he's here. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either way.
