OkState OC to WVU?

[Montanaro]

There are rumors and articles circulating that oklahoma state's OC Dana Holgorsen could be joining the WVU staff within the next few weeks.

Speculation is that if WVU's current OC takes a head coaching job at Kent State, then Holgorsen will come to WVU and filled the OC role while being labeled head coach in waiting for one year.

If the OC job at WVU doesn't open up, WVU's HC may be fired after our bowl game regardless of result to make room for Dana Holgorsen.

WVU's HC is supposedly 100% against the HCIW tag (as it's a slap in the face to him as he would be training the guy taking his job)

Holgorsen has been the OC for Texas Tech under Leach, Houston when they were in the top 25, and Okie State.

Reports coming in that it's a done deal. He will take the OC job and be HCIW.

It's extra special since Pitt were looking at him for HC.

sweet...hopefully this messes with Oklahoma St in our bowl game and my wildcats can win their 2nd bowl game in 3 years!

 

[Montanaro]

He supposedly isn't joining our staff until after the bowl season. I doubt this would effect his playcalling. If anything it may make him want to show what he can do.

Your only hope is if our coach resigns in the next couple days and Dana takes over immediately, but I cannot see our coach Stewart bailing on our players before a bowl game, absolutely never ever, the only reason would be if his wife/son were ill and needed him to resign.

oh well....i was trying to be optimistic....

thanks for ruining that for me

 

[Montanaro]

That's my specialty.

 

[tbo41fan]

lmao. a little offtopic, but did u watch the arsenal, man U game?

 

[Montanaro]

i caught most of it, except the goal, had to pick the g/f up from work and couldn't get the game on my sirius radio.

 

[Montanaro]

All has been confirmed at a press conference today.

WVU with the grand slam hire.

 

[Montanaro]

hey TBO, there are rumors going around that your "co-coordinator" may be going to WVU with Holgorsen.

Do you know anything about the guy?

 

[tbo41fan]

I know we lost our co-defensive coordinator to colorado, and we named the other "co" coordinator as full coordinator.


Was it our offensive or defensive? I cant find these rumors

 

[Montanaro]

offensive.

Was mentioned in some papers in texas I think

 

[tbo41fan]

Oh man...

Seth Littrell is awesome!


His offense is based around a short pass game with MANY bubble screens and quick slants. Not too many outside runs, he likes to run it right down peoples throats. And every once in awile, he goes for the home-run pass

Oh wait,
Report: Holgorsen to WVU as OC, will take over for Stewart in ’12 | CollegeFootballTalk

This article says it's our co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach.

I honestly dont know how to evaluate him because we had a full senior offensive line, but they were riddled with injuries....so idk

 

[Montanaro]

thanks for the link

this move makes sense. Our current line coach has been junk and is being removed, bringing this guy in will help Holg install the offense while filling in the oline coach position

On a side note...


Thank god Seth Littrell isn't leaving. lmao
