MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When you’re 28 years old and handed your first full-time coaching job by a Power 5 program, the learning curve can be steep.
And sometimes heated.
West Virginia receivers coach Tyron Carrier encountered this during last season’s reunion with his former college offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.
“At Houston we didn’t really care about (our) defense as much,” Carrier said, “so we were scoring really quick and the defense was back out there getting tired.”
No longer focused merely on compiling huge offensive stats, Holgorsen’s game-management approach has evolved over six seasons as a head coach.
