According to sources, West Virginia Head Football Coach Dana Holgorsen has accepted an offer to become the head coach of the University of Houston. The deal is expected to be in the 5 year, $20 million range, with an incentive for bowl game wins. We will provide more information as it becomes available #BTPSports
I really liked him as a coach but the people in West Virginia are tough in every coach we get if they don’t win immediately so I understand why he did it. I hope we can get someone the state can get behind and good luck Dana.
Bye bye feel sorry for Houston!!!!!!!!!!
Let him go he has lost as much as he has won Hire someone who cares about West Virginia football and it’s alumni enough of his bad coaching could not beat Oklahoma under him but we did under two other coaches
Goodbye!!! Sorry won’t miss the man.
He finally realizes he’s not a power 5 coach
Way to give up
It was a good 8 years. Would have liked a few more bowl wins. He is truly a great offensive mind. Just hate the way he left. Respect him a little less now because of that. I truly hope that Shane Lyons has been talking to some worthy candidates for his replacement.
Oh well he didn’t do enough to make the natives of wv feel like he was ever one of us so good ridden mofo
Good luck with the bowl wins part. Guess they knew they wouldn’t have to pay that out.
Never wanted him as WVU coach. Won’t miss Chief Redbull now that he’s gone .
Wishing him all the luck he deserves …. none.
Bye now …. don’t come back now …. ya hear!
Good bye, Holgerson….hope WVU can get a better coaching staff so we don’t have teams that blow a lead or show up in the 2nd half.
Why would they want him????? I know he’d want the money, but why would they want him???? He’s not even that good of a coach. Why would they want him. Hmmmm just wondering. Please let me know why they want him?????
Unlike many of my friends,I am saddened with our losing Coach Holgerson…should this report be confirmed. I wish him well and I hope our search is thourgh and well managed. Good luck to you Dana Holgerson.
Mixed feelings on this didn’t like him when he came here at first he did help WVU become a top Big 12 team with Bowl wins but his time is over here he’s done all he can do we need new blood and be more competitive good luck coach
I think he had plans to leave or the university was going to fire him. There was talk of he didn’t win the bowl game he was gone.
Goodbye!! I’m all on board with bringing Rich Rod back.
I’m glad they gave him incentives to win bowl games because he has a problem with that, and hiring coordinators that know what they are doing, and being prepared each and every week ! ( like working hard every day, not just on occasion ) not a fan !
I appreciate the time spent here. He was young and brought life to the university and the state. He was good coach but an even better offensive coordinator. I didn’t approve of his drinking to the point he was totally drunk and his behavior in front of his team. He took us to another level. I wish him well.
