[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 129448299, member: 1467482"] Stewart admittedly left the cupboard bare outside of the Geno/Tavon/Stedman and a select one or two others. I dont think DH's first season was an "indication of how he wouldve done in the Big East", we finished 5-2 in conference with a solid but not great team just like we did in the previous three seasons with Stewart, the tiebreakers just so happened to work in DH's favor opposed to Stewart. The problem with the Stewart teams always seemed to be playcalling and Holgorsen was supposed to fix that with his high flying offense. It never materialized not counting the statistical anomaly that was the Clemson game. The more time goes on the more I think we just felt entitled to win the Big East no matter what and we underestimated everyone else in the conference each year and overestimated our talent level. Stewart and his staff were not particularly great at playcalling or gameplanning but I dont think they were costing us 2 Big East games per year, I dont think DH would have dominated either, he may have done slightly better than Stewart, I think we wouldve been a 8-9 regular season win program in the BE just like we were with Stewart, we didnt upgrade. I still dont think the Big XII is as great as we think, its certainly a better league at the top but I dont think the 2005-07 Mountaineers would have struggled in this conference or most of our better teams for that matter. Maybe we wouldnt have been awarded 2 BCS bids in 3 years, but we still would have gotten our share of wins including some big ones against Texas and OU. [/QUOTE]
