After the exodus
WVU's White moving on after losing Slaton, Rodriguez
The two freshmen speedsters and the homegrown coach sat at a podium inside the Georgia Dome collectively beaming. A West Virginia team that was a preseason afterthought had just delivered arguably the most monumental win in the program's history, but already the conversation had shifted to what appeared to be a future of limitless potential for Rich Rodriguez's team behind star running back Steve Slaton and quarterback Pat White.
When asked what was next for this group, White answered without batting an eye "Start a dynasty, I guess."

WV plans to tweak the offense and keep White healthy, and stay with the 3-3-5 on defense.

How much is being changed at West Virginia with the new coaching staff, and will even more of the offense be put on Pat White? More importantly, how much have all the outside distractions affected the team?
From Kevin Kinder, BlueGoldNews.com
Look for tweaks and additions, rather than a major overhaul, as West Virginia goes through spring practice. New offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen will bring some of his playbook from Wake Forest to WVU, which features more motion and runs from different angles than the conventional spread offense. White will still be the focal point of the offense, but care will be taken not to beat up the Heisman candidate, which is what happened during the previous two seasons. Those factors contributed heavily to the losses in 2006 and 2007, and head coach Bill Stewart is adamant that won't happen again. The call for more passing will also be heard, but it remains to be seen whether the receivers can actually do anything about it. The thinking on the coaching staff is that, given the chance, the passing game will develop.
Defensively, the story will be the same. WVU will continue to run its base 3-3-5 look, but more diversity will likely be seen in several other alignments. With former defensive coordinators (Steve Dunlap and David Lockwood) joining the staff, there certainly won't be any shortage of ideas for doing so. Coordinator Jeff Casteel, who engineered a remarkable turnaround on the defense in 2007, will be surrounded by talent in the staff.
