Country Roads Confidential: A WVU Mountaineers podcast

It's been a few days since the panic meter was put on display. Where do things stand for WVU basketball after an important weekend?

It's still not time to panic about basketball, but let's take some time to discuss the other news in WVU's athletic department.

It's still early, but time is ticking. Darian DeVries needs bodies on his bench and on his roster. With important dates looming, this is an important week for the Mountaineers.

The pieces will begin to fall into place for Darian DeVries and his staff and roster.

It won't be long before we're learning much more about new WVU men's basketball coach Darian DeVries, but Alyssa Hertel from the Des Moines Register gives us a head start by sharing what she witnessed covering DeVries at Drake.

WVU announced Sunday that it has hired Darian DeVries from Drake as its next men's basketball coach. How did we get here and where do we go now?

WVU has officially been in the market for a new coach for less than a week, but there are signs this is taking shape and is on track to conclude before the athletic director's deadline.

West Virginia's men's basketball program is searching for a new head coach after moving on from interim coach Josh Eilert. What's his legacy and who might be next?

Interest in the coaching search intensifies while fans try to enjoy baseball and football news and previews.

This has been a bizarre and unexpected basketball season at West Virginia, and not in the good ways that once seemed obtainable. With history within reach, we come to terms with how this season will be remembered and how it can be useful in the future.

Chris has some questions about Mike's Hot Board as we christen the unofficial start of the coaching search.

Baseball and basketball are in the news and football is in the background but we touch them all as we empty the mailbag.

WVU baseball's season begins on the road with a four-game series at Stetson. The Mountaineers have some standouts and some gaps, but they have a manager with the resources to succeed in his final season.

West Virginia had another lopsided loss and is guaranteed to have a losing regular-season record. What's gone wrong and how many wins are left on this schedule?

WIth the basketball schedule paused for an open week, let's take the hint and shift the focus to football and our answers to subscriber questions.

West Virginia's basketball team is off this week. What will the team do with the time and what should look different when the Mountaineers resume?

What was reported yesterday was revealed today, and just enough time has passed to conclude the Mountaineers should who, when and where they play this coming season.

West Virginia lost two position coaches who took coordinator jobs at Troy, and Neal Brown moved quickly to hire replacements. They aren't big names. They don't satisfy bold ideas. They do fit what the head coach has been doing.

Acknowledging the surge in submitted questions for the Q&A podcast, we devote a second episode this week to address Mountaineer football.

If it's hard to keep up with the Mountaineers, who they are and what they're doing, maybe this will help.

The mood is better at WVU. Some questions remain, though fewer than normal. Let's acknowledge every submission in today's episode.

It's been too long since we emptied the mailbag, and it's no surprise a batch of quality questions were available for this edition.

The Mountaineers struggled during non-conference play, and understandably so. They can't afford too many more setbacks if they want to play in the postseason, and the Big 12 schedule offers many obstacles.

The first transfer portal window closed for the majority of college football players who seek a change of scenery. The Mountaineers lost more than they added but also did better than they have before.
