Twitter Reaction to Graham Harrell’s West Virginia Departure

News of Graham Harrell leaving WVU to become the offensive coordinator at Purdue triggered a big reaction from, not only West Virginia fans and media, but also others around the college football world.

The timing of his exit and the destination seemed to surprise most people. It also creates more questions around the Mountaineers, which appeared to have calmed down for a couple weeks.

And Graham Harrell is gone. Smh

The interesting thing about Graham Harrell is that he keeps getting jobs and has a good reputation but absolutely nowhere he's left has been than torn up about it

With Graham Harrell likely leaving for the Purdue OC job, now may be the perfect time to move away from the air-raid at WVU. What say you, Mountaineer Nation? If they stick with the air-raid, who do you want as OC?

WVU fans talking about wanting to get away from the Air Raid offense when nothing suggests they actually ran an Air Raid offense in 2022 is among my pet-peeves.

I would have rather suffered through a 2 win season with Graham Harrell getting experience as an HC than what will be a another boring vanilla offense 5 win season that next year will be under @NealBrown_WVU

Damn, I just heard the news about Graham Harrell. I'm sure it's been said, but this makes me wonder if Kaden Prather is going with him or knew he was leaving and didn't like it? Still trying to understand why Prather would leave such a great opportunity.

Been a massive Graham Harrell fan since he was slinging the rock at Texas Tech during my early teenage years. Had to stand up out of my seat upon hearing the news. Won’t let the haters sully my excitement.
