Fans call for Power 5 head coach to be fired after 0-2 start

It’s only Week 2, but college football fans are getting restless, especially in West Virginia where the Mountaineers are off to an 0-2 start.
The latest example came when Neal Brown’s team lost to Kansas on Saturday, as the Jayhawks sealed the win with a Pick-6 in overtime. Many of the WVU fans were irritated with Brown after he made a video to reassure them following the season-opening loss last week to Pitt.
West Virginia, which was the only Big 12 team to lose its first game this season, is off to a rough start in Brown’s fourth year. The Mountaineers last week led Pitt 31-24 before giving up a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. Kansas delivered its first 2-0 start since 2011, and it matched its win total from last season.
Here’s a sampling of some of the reactions:

This is the @NealBrown_WVU & @WVUADLyons era of @WVUfootball. Sad thing is we’ll outlast both of them. Enjoy rock bottom, everyone. We’ll be back some day. pic.twitter.com/1zNtAHktDC
