[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131815492, member: 1812660"] Exactly. Stewart by all accounts seemed like the much better man than RR or Holgorsen. As the head coach of a division 1 football program, he was definitely not as good as RR, but better than Holgorsen. Closer to Holgorsen than RR though. His biggest weakness, like Brown, is loyalty to a fault and poor execution. Stewart was so loyal to Mullen that he allowed him to take the 2008 roster with the winningest QB in WVU history and manage to score only 3 points against ECU along with 14 points against 5-7 Colorado team. He then put together a roster that Mullen couldn't score more than 14 points with against two 5 loss Big East teams. Holgorsen took that same roster and averaged 34 points a game across 12 regular season games and then hung 70 on Clemson the very next season. Clearly Stewart and his staff proved they didn't know what they were doing on offense as there are 2 examples of other coaches being highly effective on that side of the ball with same roster than Stewaet and Co. struggled with. Doesn't diminish his Fiesta Bowl rallying of the troops or his recruiting of quality players. [/QUOTE]
