The West Virginia Mountaineers are in the midst of finding their next head football coach. This will be their first real coaching search since Don Nehlen’s retirement, and we’re here to break down the top candidates and grade them based on how they would fit in Morgantown.
Mountaineer Nation must now consider the possibility that Sir Lyle Allen "Butch" of House Jones could be our next head football coach. Jones, who was on Rich Rod's staff at WVU as the receivers coach in 2005 and 2006, infamously flamed out at Tennessee in 2017 after a rocky five years on Rocky Top, but however his tenure ended, it has to be said that he did have a couple of decent years there before the wheels fell off.
