Congrats to Coach Stu, I think it would be funny (and telling) if some of the assistants rr wanted for scUM decided to stay with WVU and Stewart. It would also be funny if scUM and WVU met in a bowl, from last nights performance and from shots of the sideline, my money would be on WVU as Stewart did not look tight like rr got in both of the Eer losses.

The $$ difference from WVU assistants to scUM assistants was a big difference so I doubt that many of them actually stay at West Virginia

He orchestrated the biggest upset by far this bowl season.
I gave WVU NO chance to win against Oklahoma. On paper WV was outclassed both personnel wise and motivationally with the loss of their coach. Man what a turnaround.

Curious if you have some numbers about that. Likely true, I'd just like to see the hard numbers, since UM is notorious for not paying that much.
The budget for Miles' assistant coaches was a major speedbump to bringing him to AA.

Man I forget the numbers but I just heard them saying today on ESPN that it was a pretty big difference.

This was floating around the WVU board - you know you've arrived when you get a fire the coach petition.
The petition references allegedly racist remarks Stewart made about a running back's actions on the field when celebrating during his tenure as head coach at VMI.

Considering WVU was dominating the Fiesta Bowl and not losing, I question the comparison.
Anyway, the point of me posting is this....
West Virginia Hired Bobby Williams - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog
Brings up a good point. Best of luck to WVU and Stewart, but it doesn't look like WVU really did their due diligence in the coaching search. I really thought Butch Jones was going to get the job.

The biggest upset honor, IMO, is Michigan beating Florida... scUM was left for dead by almost everyone including many of their fans. But I do agree WVU was one of the bigger upsets of the bowl season. |
