You probably already knew the story, but now it’s out there for you and your reactions after WVU’s athletic director revealed no more talks will occur.

Lyons said previously negotiations needed to bring the two sides to an agreement on additional years and guaranteed money for those new seasons. Those discussions never reached a reached a suitable conclusion.

WVU has also made no moves to further secure its coaching staff. The university responded to an open records request last week that sought contracts for assistant coaches. No assistants have been granted extensions. Multiple sources said that was a major factor in cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell leaving last week to take a job at Virginia Tech.

Mitchell had one year at $275,000 remaining on a two-year contract. His status, though, is in line with how Lyons wants to treat staffing.

“That’s going to be my philosophy,” Lyons said. “Coordinators are multi-year and assistants are year-to-year. If you look at the national trend, that is very consistent.”
