West Virginia lost this game moreso than Pitt winning it.  I am willing 
to bet money that Wannstedt will not turn things around.  He is not a 
good coach, and one game doesn't change the fact that he's had 5 
consecutive losing seasons.  This move will still look stupid in the 
long-term, and I am sure of that.
