[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131814633, member: 1812660"] Incorrect because you say it is incorrect? Which is more likely to have led to WVU's success in the Fiesta Bowl? The 4 years of recruiting players along with 1 year of practice developing an identity and scheme? Or the handful of practices leading up to bowl? I'm not saying that without Stewart's leadership that WVU would have still won the Fiesta bowl. I'm saying that what he had to do in order to help WVU win that game was only a very small part of what a head coach must do to make a program successful. What do you have to say about Holgorsen given he took an already assembled roster coming off a terrible offensive campaign the year before and turned them into a mostly effective unit? It is very similar to Stewart taking an already assembled roster coming off a terrible showing the game before and getting a stellar performance out of them in a bowl game. Nothing you have said refutes the ultimate point which was that after the Fiesta bowl when the entirety of the program was under Stewart's control he failed to come close to replicating the success of the 3 years leading up to his hiring. And it wasn't for lack of talent on the roster as the 2011 campaign with Holgorsen, who is a worse coach than Stewart in my opinion, was better than Stewart's 3 years. Stewart had his good qualities and could produce average teams. However his good qualities were not enough to make up for his deficiencies if the goal was to have a program capable of producing a top 10 team once in a while. [/QUOTE]
