Coaches like to say they get too much credit when things are going good and too much blame when things go bad. There may be no better occasion than now to really dissect that and take it as more of a fact than a cliche.

Look, I understand there are issues that can only be attributed to and fixed by coaching. I also understand the guys in headsets can only be given so much blame for what’s currently happening at WVU. They get a lot of the blame, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not alone in this. The players have a share of the responsibility as well.
