Twitter Reaction: WVU’s Announcement of Chad Scott as OC Sparks Mixed Reviews

As is often the case among West Virginia fans, the reaction to learning Chad Scott has been promoted to offensive coordinator came with emotions.

Some fans voiced liking the move and feelings that it will be a positive for incumbent players to not have to learn a new coach, especially the running backs, who will be a big part of the offense and had success under Scott in 2022. Others took giving the job to Scott as a sign WVU can’t bring in more accomplished coaches while head coach Neal Brown lingers in a state of evaluating over the next year. Arguments about Brown’s “lame duck” status were brought as why coaches decided to leave the program as well.

I like it.

The downside of having a lame duck coach, not going to get any external coordinators to join now and are stuck with internal promotions.

Guessing he won’t be calling plays. pic.twitter.com/g9V7jhrSYs

Chad Scott has been involved with the best segment of the team for years. I get wanting a bigger name, and WVU went that route last year by bringing in Graham Harrell and that didn't really work out, but Scott earned the OC opportunity and promoting him actually makes sense.

I like the Chad Scott move

Chad Scott has the best position room on the team. The players love him. He has shown he can produce talent in Leddie Brown.

It’s foolish to think he didn’t earn this opportunity.

Chad Scott has called zero touchdown plays this year. Makes you think

Chad Scott 100% deserves this and I’m happy for him. Now the question, is this a title or will he actually get a shot to call plays

WVU’s OC has been announced as RB coach Chad Scott, I absolutely love that hire, as he had huge success running the ball the past few years.

Someone who Neal can use as a scapegoat. Neal will still be calling plays under the guise of Chad Scott
