[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131817228, member: 1812660"] Stewart and his staff's problem was that they didn't know how to effectively use the players they had, particularly on offense. They inherited a great roster and Pat White. I could understand if it was a situation like with RR in 2001 when he was implementing a vastly different system than what was already established. But the offense got worse despite getting good players into the system. When Holgorsen took over, won the BE, and hung 70 on Clemson it was clear that lack of roster talent was not the thing holding Stewart led WVU teams back. Holgorsen then proved he could not get any players in and develop them into appropriate tools to implement his schemes, but I digress. In Stewart's 3rd season he failed to win the BE with a defense that gave up less than 13 ppg and never gave up more than 21 in any single game during the season. He basically fired himself when he refused to acknowledge that the offense was the problem and that changes needed to be made with how it was run. He was loyal to a fault to Mullen and stubborn. I see the same with Brown in his stubbornness for "scripted" plays and loyalty to a fault with Doege. Which is why I am disquieted despite the great recruiting. Because as Stewart already proved, incompetence with implementing players cannot be overcome simply by having better athletes. [/QUOTE]
