Bill Stewart Accused of Asking Reporter to Dig Up Dirt on Dana Holgorsen
This won’t get the same amount of attention that the Pryor or McCoy stories
will, but it’s probably the most surprising. According to Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette reporter Colin Dunlap, current West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart
asked him and another reported to dig up dirt on new Mountaineers offensive
coordinator and head-coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen.
Dunlap said that he did not comply with Stewart’s request, which was made b
efore WVU’s bowl game, and sat on the story because he wanted to “[give] t
he guy the benefit of the doubt because I knew he was backed in a corner and
kind of scared,” referring to Stewart seeing his replacement hired. Dunlap
was speaking on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh when he made these allegations.
Graham Watson of Dr. Saturday transcribed the interview HERE.
After reports surfaced that Holgorsen had been involved in prior drunken epi
sodes before the one in which he was asked to leave a casino after he had to
o much to drink, West Virginia announced that it was “searching for anonymo
us contributors to newspaper stories it says contain ‘blatant inaccuracies’
about the football team’s head coach-in-waiting and offensive coordinator,
” according to Mike Casazza of the Charleston Daily Mail. HailWV.com report
ed that Karen Stewart, Bill’s wife, was one of the sources, and The Smoking
Musket reported that Stewart himself was one of the sources.
Whew, got all of that? If all of this is true, and I’m not saying that any
of it is, I’m not sure if the situation paints Holgorsen in a worse light f
or being involved in several drunken episodes, or Stewart for ratting on the
head coach-in-waiting—which makes him look childish.
I have no sources here so don’t go digging around, but I find it very likel
y that Stewart has coached his last game at WVU. As for Holgorsen, I can see
the Mountaineers keeping him on if it turns out the previous incidents of d
runkenness are untrue, but even if they are he probably has a better shot at
keeping his job than Stewart. If this had been an instance of an NCAA viola
tion and Stewart went to the compliance department, that’d be a different s
tory. But that’s not what happened.
As Mike Florio suggested today on CollegeFootballTalk.com, the Mountaineers
could always give a former head coach a ring. Rich Rodriguez has admitted ma
king a mistake when he left WVU and while he’d likely have to make peace wi
th a lot of WVU fans, bringing him back could make the most sense for a coac
h regretting his decision to leave the program, and a university likely regr
etting this whole coach-in-waiting fiasco and looking for somebody to lead t
he football team into future. Who better than the last coach to have a great
deal of success at West Virginia? | b*****a

by police once a month on average. |
