Jordan Lesley’s Firing Sparks Big Reaction from WVU Fans on Social Media

Tuesday’s news of West Virginia firing Jordan Lesley triggered a big reaction from WVU fans across social media. The decision to move on from Lesley also led to a lot of speculation and wondering about what the rest of the season will look like.

Below is just some of what was said about the news on X (formerly Twitter).

Neal’s friend Jordan Lesley the scapegoat has officially been fired. This better be just the beginning.

I honestly think 80% of the team’s problems rested on the shoulders of Jordan Lesley.

He should have. The guy let him down over and over again. Penn State cover zero. The Pitt collapse. Tampa 2 last weekend

It was Neal Brown who made the call to fire Jordan Lesley. https://t.co/BmX8Fx0aD0

If Neal Brown truly wasn't pressured to fire Jordan Lesley and did it entirely on his own, that means he's getting desperate to save his own job.

However, I find it a lot more likely that there was quite a bit of outside pressure without him being specifically told to fire him.

Jordan Lesley is gone we may not give up a single point the rest of the season

Jordan Lesley's out at WVU. I can accept this. I don't expect the defense to turn around immediately, but if it can not be worse, I'll be okay until next season.
