[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131815210, member: 1812660"] How do those things translate to him bring a great coach? He beat a 5-7 Auburn team that finished unranked. He should have beat the 8-5 Auburn team in 2009. He recruited Geno, Stedman, and Tavon like I said. He then proceeded to lose the watered down Big East with them because he couldn't score more than 14 points against a 5 loss Syracuse and 5 loss UConn team. He presided over his 3rd season as HC where he coached against 13 teams, only 1 of which was significantly better than this year's VT squad (LSU). In that season he lost 3 additional games to the LSU one and the offense in those games scored 7, 13, and 14 points. The same offensive roster of players then scored 70 against Clemson in the Orange Bowl the following year. How can such a piece of **** coach like Holgorsen get that out of the same roster that Stewart couldn't get 17 out of at home against a hapless Syracuse team? It's because Stewart did have major flaws, just not as bad as Holgorsen. Pointing out the good things he did for the program only reinforces my point that he was not a great coach because of the context of the results on the field. The 2010 season was not all that much better than what we've seen so far this season despite those good things. 2008 and 2010 showed that even if Stewart had the players that could perform really well on the field offensively, they just didn't when he was at the helm and that buck stops with the head coach. So none of that contradicts my point that under Stewart, WVU was not playing at a level that was head and shoulders above our current or last coach. Sure it may have been better than Holgorsen or Brown, but it certainly wasn't good enough to rival WVU's play on the field under RR or even Nehlen. Frankly both Brown and Stewart had similar problems of decent defense and piss poor offense. Only thing Stewart did was bring in better players than Brown has, but as we can see he misused them.
