With the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the world of sports, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about the football season. The man running the Mountaineers is embracing it as it comes, and is okay admitting that he doesn’t know the answers to everything.

Brown told The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman the following in part on the unknowns.

I don’t know how we’re going to deal with some of these things. One of the things I think that we can be prudent about is here at the end of May, I don’t know if we necessarily need to make decisions about something that’s going to happen in September.

You can listen to his full comments below.

I respect the hell out of this kind of honesty. I honestly do. Far too many people like to pretend they have all the answers.

Brown is more than comfortable and confident enough to admit he doesn’t have all the answers. I like a coach who is honest about things like that.

Look, we’re in uncharted territory. That’s the reality of the situation. It’s okay to admit you don’t know what the hell is going on. I write about college football maybe more than anyone else on the planet, and I don’t know what is going to happen!

Before we can tackle the issue at hand, we have to figure out what we know.

We’re going to have football in September. You best believe that, but there will certainly be changes. What will those changes be? I have no idea, but that’s okay.

We’ll figure it out as we go.
