[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129448491, member: 1428007"] Why are you talking about a team WVU did not play? The Clemson team WVU DID play was highly rated and highly favored and WVU SMOKED them in historic fashion. Holgorsen was responsible for that, getting WVU in position to win a Big East championship and getting his team ready to beat Clemson. BS never got WVU in position to win the Big East and never got them to a BCS bowl. After that year WVU switched to a much more difficult conference and had to rebuild a team for that conference which takes years to do. BS did not do that. Your opinions are based not on real situations, but pretending the situation is flat and identical for either coach. You are basing your determination on bogus information because there is little to nothing similar about the situations faced or the teams faced or the outcomes. ESPNs article painted an accurate picture of what coach Holgorsen faces at WVU and why its been very difficult to excel--you don't want to accept it but nothing they stated is untrue. He had a chance to show what he could do in the old Big East--and he did just that--won the conference in short order, took the team to a BCS bowl and crushed a heavily favored BCS conference champion. It was a season's worth of results, not a "one game" result as you want to change it to be. 10 wins, BCS conference championship and a major bowl victory over a heavily favored opponent in historic fashion. No matter how you slice it that isn't the same as working with someone else's coaching staff and players for one game. [/QUOTE]
