That group, which has combined to win 10 national championships and 40 conference titles, makes Trickett an invaluable resource as he returns to the WVU football program.
In this episode, Trickett explains his decision to return to Morgantown and the rebuilding of the WVU roster....

It has been 17 years since Rich Rodriguez coached on Mountaineer Field with fans in the stands.
That streak will end on Saturday when the Mountaineers collide in the Gold & Blue Showcase. It will give Rodriguez and staff a final chance to evaluate the roster. It's also the last chance for players to shine before the roster is reduced. New rules will allow for just 105 roster spots starting next season. That's a reduction o...

The search to find a replacement for Darian DeVries is Baker's fifth (basketball and football) in the last 24 months. That likely means this won't be a long search. There's a built-in familiarity with candidates since only 51 weeks have passed since Baker last went to the market for a new men's coach.

It was a poor performance when it mattered the most. West Virginia's elimination from the Big 12 Conference Championship was both surprising and deflating. A Mountaineer team that defied expectations all season suddenly lost its swagger.
Now what? The good news is that WVU will still receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The question is whether they can rediscover their winning ways before opening play next week.
