[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131817468, member: 1812660"] Now you are just smugly setting up strawmen. I never "bad mouthed" Stewart outside of noting that WVU failed to win championships under his staff despite having the talent to do so and I never advocated for the washed up Terry Bowden to coach WVU. You can't give credit to Stewart for the Fiesta Bowl without giving credit to Holgorsen for the Orange Bowl as they are very similar situations. Feel free to explain why if you disagree. 28-12 is 70%. 32-9 is 78%. By your own logic Appalachian State was better than WVU during Stewart's time and by extension must've had a better coach. If that's not what you mean, then please elaborate. Beat Auburn. So did Vanderbilt that year. Auburn finished 5-7 that year. You'd not accept a defense of Holgorsen at simply "beat Texas" just because Texas is a recognized name. Stewart did recruit a great player in Geno. What did he accomplish with that QB? Stewart inherited a team from a coach you bad mouth that just won the Big East. He then spent 3 seasons without winning the conference's BCS spot. Another coach you bad mouth then takes Stewart's roster of players he couldn't win the Big East with a year earlier and immediately wins the Big East's BCS spot. How were 2 other coaches able to win championships with essentially the same team that Stewart failed to do so with? [/QUOTE]
