Social Media Reaction: WVU Fans Right Back Off the Climb Again

WVU football fell to Pitt 38-34 during the 107th edition of the Backyard Brawl in a disaster situation. The Mountaineers were up 10 points with four minutes to go but a Pitt rally in the final moments gave the Panthers the steal.

West Virginia fans are right back off the climb as head coach Neal Brown has lost to Penn State and Pitt in two-out-of-three weeks to open the 2024 season.

Neal Brown has had this game won TWICE on the road and choked it away. Twice. Unforgivable.

Neal Brown is not the coach for WVU.

Neal Brown is 32-31 all time at West Virginia.

He’s 1-2 vs Pitt.

He’s 2-14 vs the top 25.

He’s 20-24 vs Big 12 teams.

How does he survive this? pic.twitter.com/U8CypfNtfp

I will not support West Virginia football anymore until something is done 🤷‍♂️

I’m one of the most level headed and reasonable WVU fans you can find and even I’m ready to clean house.

Not even mad. The collapses are expected. Laughing a little about the secondary with the family right now to cope. The rest of the season is going to be Neal coaching for his job. I like him but at this point I think we’ve seen enough.

Neal Brown has destroyed WVU football. I never want to hear a a word from his mouth again… ever.
