One troubling thing: In that piece Holgorsen named 5 players contending for the PR position, 4 of whom were already here last season.

That pretty much eliminates any "it was a depth problem" theories.

I am not sure any fair-minded observer could have watched West Virginia's punt returns last fall and thought the problem was anything except coaching. I often wondered if it had slipped their minds, and they had forgotten to practice it.

I am not sure any fair-minded observer could have watched West Virginia's punt returns last fall and thought the problem was anything except coaching. I often wondered if it had slipped their minds, and they had forgotten to practice it.

The key phrase being "any fair-minded observer."

Our board has several jihadists who consider it sacrilegious to even wonder whether poor coaching might be responsible for a deficiency, much less openly express doubt about certain members of the staff. It was from those ranks that I saw several "it's a depth problem" excuses proferred last season.
