For the players sake, I hope Hogelson does well. I expect he’ll do OK in 2011, if Coach Stewart stays and is in control, and if the defensive staff stays (and the players stay – who knows for how long).

But – he has no stated defensive experience, no head coach experience, is said to be a poor recruiter, and does not know the areas where WVU has traditionally found lots of players. Adding in that he will soon be in his fourth place over a five year span, I am concerned. I give him about three years before he moves, or is moved.

And WOW, did WVU, from Ollie Luck on up, do this in an unprofessional manner? Might be OK for pro sports, but certainly poor form for college sports and when dealing with student athletes. Might be the seeds of Luck turning.

I am a bit confused by the head coach in waiting situation however. Perhaps Holgersen will be the head coach next year. The University has not made any official release of Holgersen coming to WV to date. In any event, I hope and pray that Holgersen, if and when he becomes HC, scraps the RR era uniforms and puts those guys on the field with a more presentable ensemble than what we have now. I mean they look generic, kind of like the Golden Bears get up. It’s embarassing. Please Holgersen, lets win alot and look good doing it.

I hope the stories are true, that Holgorsen is coming to WVU. Bill Stewart is a nice guy, but shows no promise of ever improving any football program, just keeping status quo. If Mr. Holgorsen leaves after great success, so be it. Better than staying after little. But WVU had a really good defense this year, with few seniors, so an offensive improvement may put us back to winning BCS bowls again.

think holgerson to morgantown is a joke. mess to start (same anonymous source that says he is coming says Stewart adamantly against) career ender (rodriguez has put exclamation point on that job) the pitts to live in.

really suprised he didn’t talk to muschamp at fl. really suprised he didn’t wait until next year when the Michigan and Oregon jobs will open and all the dominoes really start to fall at the big schools.

you really think he is afraid of competition and is looking for a weak stick conference to suceed in?

and who says big east will be bcs after next year?

So, to win a conference championship, both areas need improvement. Our offense was very good this year overall, and you have to think that a lot of that had to do with Holgorsen. There is a very real possibility that if he leaves, he will be missed right away. It would be great to land Mike Leach or someone that can bring a similarly high-powered offense to Stillwater, but Holgorsen proved a lot in a year about what he was capable of as OC. Hopefully, whoever succeeds him will be able to get something of that caliber. But, it would be unrealistic to expect the same numbers that we had this year, especially if we end up with someone with less experience than Dana.
