#danaholgorsen ,61-41 WVU record, is leaving WVU for Houston U (AAC) to replace Applewhite as HC and will be the highest paid Other 5 (Group of 5) coach at 5yr -20M . I guess it's all about the Benjamins because why would you leave a Power 5 job in which you've been moderately successful. WVU tied for third with Iowa St in the Big 12 this season.
#RichRodriguez, one time WVU HC, will be the next Ol Miss OC.
Marshall DC Adam
Fuller is leaving the #Herd to take the same gig at #memphis
He will replace Chris Ball who was was recently named head coach at Northern Arizona.

WVU hires Troy's #NealBrown , who's learned O from the same guys, Mumme & Leach, as Holgorsen did. Fickell , the Cincy U coach, was considered for the job, too, , but Tony Gibson , the WVU DC wasn't. Brown 's 2017 Troy squad upset LSU.

#tonygibson will be the NC St safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator. He replaces Ted Roof, who left to become Appalachian State’s DC.
jan 29, 2019
USC hired #GrahamHarrell , North Texas OC, who also followed Kingsbury as a quarterback for Texas Tech and developed his coaching style in the Mike Leach's Air Raid offense. I wonder who replaces Harrell at NTX.

Boston’s #FenwayPark will host a new bowl game starting in 2020 featuring football teams from the ACC and AAC conferences.

Holgorsen is off to a rough if not terrible start (2-3) as Houston's HC with kids fleeing for the transfer portal. They host Cincy in the AAC opener today.
WVU is( 3-2, 1-1) but it's next three games are against Iowa St, OU, and Baylor.

I dug up an old blog just to chat about the MD/WVA opener @ College Park, MD, the Terps' home. West Virginia 28–22–2 leads the rivalry series which started in 1919 and has had several breaks. A lot of the rivalry is based on recruiting battles between neighboring states. The daily weather forecast for western MD is more like WV and Ohio than the rest of the state of MD. I'm calling this year's matchup a tossup because both teams are coming off so-so seasons. Starting QBs: Tua's brother for the Terps and Jarret Doege for WV.

#hoops They love Huggy in your state. He got a 2 year extension. Plus in 2024-25 season, he can choose to assume an appointment of at least two years in public relations and development along with other duties within the athletic department if he is no longer the coach.
sept 21, 2021
WV hung on against VTech to take home the Black diamond trophy. If they hadn't, it would have been a brutal week for HC Neal Brown. They travel to Norman, OK this weekend for a b12 matchup.
sept 28, 2021
OK took a tumble in the polls after needing a last-second field goal to beat West Virginia 16-13. Who new WV could play D?

After blowout losses to Iowa State the past three seasons West Virginia beat ISU 38-31.
In other B12 news, #GaryPatterson exits TCU immediately after 20 season despite being asked to finish the season. Jerry Kill will serve as interim HC. For those thinking about Cincy's post season hopes this season, his 2010 Horned Frogs(MWC), made history as the first team from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl during the BCS era, and finished that season 13-0 edging Wisky(B10) 21-19.

Todd Graham, who started his coaching career on Rich Rodriguez's staff at West Virginia as a linebackers coach in 2001, resigned as the HC of Hawaii(MWC). Rainbows' players were calling him a verbal abuser, a tyrant, and a hypocrite during a state senate hearing, but he'll get his buyout dollars. Hey Hawaii, lotsa luck finding a HC who doesn't yell at his players.
On a side note, I wonder if Rich Rod brings Graham to Jax St as it transitions to the CUSA.
Jan 22, 2022
Maybe now we're seeing why Graham left town? June Jones rejected Hawaii's HC offer because he wouldn't have control over who was on his coaching staff.
Jan 23, 2022
Rainbows hired Tommy Chang, one of their former QBs to be their HC. He knows the MWC from working as a position coach at Nevada from 2017 to 2021 and had just started as an assistant with Colorado St.
April 13, 2022
JT Daniels transfers from GA to WV and reunites with Graham Harrell, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at West Virginia. Harrell was the USC OC in 2019 when Daniels was the Trojans QB .

Jerry West, Rod Thorn, and possibly Oscar Robertson will usher Huggy into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 during enshrinement weekend in September (Sept. 9-10).

Pretty wild how the SEC doesn't have official soccer. WVU /Herd Sept 24 soccer matchup. A year Marshall followed up a national championship season in 2020 by making the 2021 NCAA Tournament and losing in the opening round to Providence. Below is a Metro news poll.
Dec 16, 2022
Purdue is set to hire Graham Harrell, West Virginia OC, as its OC, the first major move under new coach Ryan Walters, the former Illinois DC.

Good think Huggy is in the HoF already. He's apologized for his radio comments about the Cincy/Xavier rivalry, but IMO it ain't that bad.
"Any school(Xavier) that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn't do it, my God, they can get away with anything,"
Interviewer Cunningham then responded and said, "I think it was 'transgender night,' wasn't it?"
Huggins then said, "What it was, was all those fags, those Catholic fags, I think."
He then added: "They were envious they didn't have one,"
June 18, 2023
I tweeted this yesterday about Huggins: Did the sensitivity training lead to the DUI yesterday? I'm kidding!!! I'm ok with Huggy.
Now it appears he may resign.
July 9, 2023
Short version: Huggy's reps are claiming that his wife texted WVU that he was resigning, and that's not a formal resignation. This is likely about $$$. Both sides need to put this to bed. Hey Huggy, I like you, but your time is over. Plus, now you don't have to serve time in WOKE re-training learning how to pretend you buy in to all its inanity.
April 15, 2024
looking back WVU: Adam Fuller has been the DC at FSU since 2020. Graham Harrell has been OC at Purdue since 2023.
June 19, 2024
Nebraska is in talks to add Dana Holgorsen, a Mumme disciple, to its coaching staff,
Sept 30, 2024
Purdue lost 10 receivers and a tight end to the transfer portal but Graham Harrell,a Mike Leach disciple, gets canned. Hard to replace Brohm's O.
