WVSports.com continues with our popular feature: The 3-2-1. We'll breakdown three things we learned that week, two questions we have and give one prediction.

Here is the next installment of the 3-2-1 looking at the West Virginia football program, the latest on basketball and what’s happening in recruiting.

3 things I learned:

1—Brown hands it over. West Virginia head coach Neal Brown took a major and much-needed step in his tenure as the head coach of the Mountaineers. That’s because the one-time offensive coordinator took his hands off the offense and hired somebody specifically to handle that side of the ball.

Brown tabbed Graham Harrell as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and admitted that he is stepping back as a play caller. It was a move that needed to happen for a majority of reasons but perhaps most importantly was that the program couldn’t continue on the same path it was on.

Harrell brings five consecutive top 25 offensive finishes at USC and North Texas and has been successful at every stint of his coaching career. If the Mountaineers wanted to get more prolific on that side of the ball, the hiring of Harrell should definitely cover that.
