[QUOTE="VaultHunter, post: 129571030, member: 1391300"] I give Coach Holgorsen credit. He accepted a job as a AAC level head coach and had the best season for a first year head coach in WVUs history. He was then asked to build the program into a P5 caliber program from a G5 caliber program. I for one think he has done an excellent job at this, the BIG wins, the NFL players he is producing, the exposure for WVU he has created. I also give him credit for the "bad" questionable coaching decisions, clock management issues, bad losses. I think the fact he has only been a head coach for 5 years deserves recognition. With all that said this is definitely a make or break season for him. If the program reaches the 9 win mark or more I say you keep him. If the program struggles to make a bowl then its time for a change. The real question will be what to do with him if WVU has a average season again 7-8 wins. I think with Grier now in the picture you should see what kind of success WVU can have with a elite QB running Holgorsen's system. But regardless if WVU does make a change I for one hope we don't try and reinvent the wheel with a new system and staff. Bring in someone who is successful at running a air raid type of offense and for the love of God do whatever it takes to keep Coach Gibson! I'm waiting to see how this season goes before choosing a side. I think the obvious thing here is 2016 is a HUGE year for WVU football, concerning what direction the program is headed. This is the same time frame as when Rich Rodriguez started having much better success. 5-6 is a valid time table for a rookie head coach to show what he has. IMO [/QUOTE]
