There and Back Again: A Holgo's Tale
West Virginia is now at the beginning of its first true, honest to god coaching search since Don Nehlen retired after defeating a young Eli Manning and Ole Miss in the 2000 Music City Bowl. Strange to actually say that, but it’s true. Bill Stewart was promoted in a haze of glory in a strange prequel to The Hangover trilogy and the hire of Dana Holgorsen as the infamous offensive coordinator/head coach-in-waiting was an equally unilateral move by Oliver Luck to provide a spark of energy to a program that was winning, just not quite enough to win the country’s weakest power conference.
