[QUOTE="pressvirginia, post: 129416809, member: 1348623"] well the people in the know in the past took the iterim tag off Stewart after a huge bowl win and most likely without the full due diligence of a coaching search. Dana got this present contract with no buyout after one huge bowl win too. both were reactions to one big win in each instance. both coaches were rewarded for winning with the players of their predecessors. the people in the know also brought in Dana as the coach in waiting/offensive coordinator under Stewart from what I remember. that was poorly conceived and failed miserably. those events likely hindered Luck's ability to get the Texas AD job. the awkward situation with Stewart put a lot of stress on him I would say. he acted out & had a sad, unfortunate ending. the athletic department also was highly dysfunctional with Rodriguez which helped lead to his departure as well. clearly this is a new AD so it remains to be seen how the situation would be handled. there's been a lot of dysfunction & changeover in the last 8 years or so. WV is not the only school to struggle with these comings & goings. [/QUOTE]
