Dana Holgorsen the hot shot coordinator who led some of the most explosive offenses we have seen in the last decade is taking over as the head coach at WVU. Hologorsen was the coach in waiting but due to allegations of a smear campaign of Holgorsen by former coach Bill Stewart, Holgorsen is taking over a little faster then expected.
As much as I love WVU the program has became a something of a media circus the last couple of years. 4 years previous to this WVU was at a cross roads when then coach Rich Rodriguez decided to leave the program he has taken to prominence to take the job at Michigan. This became a huge PR nightmare for both the school and Rodriguez as both were acusing the other of breach of contract, mishandling student athletes and etc.
Then school then hired long time loyal asistant Bill Stewart.Stewart kept controversy to a minimum while in morgantown and had a 28-12 record in his tenor. His only fault was not leading WVU to a BCS game. To help WVU get back to the success it had experienced on Rodriguez the school hired Dana Holgorsen as the coach and waiting to coach stewart back in December.
Holgorsen who is known to get "rowdy" at times has been kicked out of a few establishments thru out his coaching career. It is reported that Bill Stewart was on a mission to find more dirt about Holgorsen partying ways in order to get him fired. Most recently however thou Holgorsen was kicked out of a casino in the Charleston area.
Also there was allegations of Coach Stewart paying reporters and private investigators to find out more about Holgorsens partying ways.
With all this going on with the football season right around the corner one of these guys had to go. Hopefully the new coaching staff will be able to renergize the program and get the BCS births that the alumn and boosters are dying for. Just hope the AD made the right choice
