[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 129448398, member: 1467482"] Lol if the UConn kicker misses a 50+ yard FG against USF in 2010 then Stewart would have had just as many BCS bids as Holgorsen. Conversely if Stedman Bailey doesnt make a ridiculous catch in triple coverage on 4th and 10 vs USF in 2011 we possibly end up in a 3 way tie for 3rd with Pitt and Rutgers in Holgorsen's first year. Both coaches were highly dramatic plays from BCS bids to the middle of the conference with teams of similar caliber, yet you think one is a much higher caliber coach than the other? I was never even a Stewart fan and wanted him gone, but hindsight is showing we didnt upgrade at all. As for Stewart's first two years, you are not going to convince me DH would have done any better against the two Brian Kelly Cincy teams, or Rich Rod for that manner. The 2008 team was Pat White and a bunch of nobodies, the 2009 team was nowhere near the caliber of the undefeated Cincy team and it showed over the course of the season. As for the Big XII, the people who work in the "college football industry" dont know anything other than whats going on at Alabama and to a lesser extent the SEC. They're all just a bunch of 18-22 year olds out there with logos on and only a few teams have a much higher collection of Sunday talent than others, the talent difference is not huge between the old Big East and the Big XII, our teams just have simply not been up to par under DH. Dont get me wrong there is a talent gap but it primarily lies in spots 1-2 than spots 3-10 and 3-8 in the Big East. When I see WVU play teams like Texas Tech, ISU, Kansas, K State, it seems no different on TV or in person than playing Syracuse, Rutgers, Louisville or Pitt. [/QUOTE]
