MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The beginning of Dana Holgorsen’s West Virginia tenure was controversial, notably marked by an infamous casino incident before he took over as the Mountaineers head coach. His exit from West Virginia may also prove turbulent – and facilitated by a famous casino owner.
The University of Houston formally contacted West Virginia on Monday seeking an interview with Holgorsen, a prominent WVU source confirmed to MetroNews. West Virginia granted Houston permission to speak with Holgorsen, greasing the skids for a likely divorce.
Another source connected to University of Houston mega-donor Tilman Fertitta indicated to MetroNews that an agreement to bring Holgorsen to Houston is close to being finalized.
