And the rumors start - crazy

[Nova Mountaineer]

1) January 1 Dana's gone - said buyout goes from $5 million to $1 million then. I don't
that is accurate.
2) Dana to go to Houston as Head coach. Seems weird they have a head coach
3) Top prospect for WVU head coaching position is Alabama offensive coordinator

These came out of Charleston. They all seem really far-fetched. But in the interest
of ending year with a bang wanted to share.

Quick question - who is UMD’s HBC and where was he before taking the UMD job?

 

[Rootmaster]

we could only hope

 

[Panhandleer]

I think Dana will be here next season, but last night at the post game he had the look of a coach who knew his best shot of having a great season at WVU went down the crapper in the last three games. Next year looks rough.

His buyout will be 6.9 million next season and it will remain that way as long as his current contract is in place. Next season would be the cheapest time to fire this guy if that's what Lyons has in mind.

Let it be known I predicted Dana would leave WVU and return to Houston back in 2016 when they hired Herman.

DH was on the hot seat but put together a 10 win season. If it wasnt for that, I think DH goes to UH back then.

Its not the worst move. You can win there.

Thanks Jason for clearing that up - the $1 million seemed to be someone's wishful thinking.

The $1 million is what Dana would owe WVU if he left....its $2.5 mil right now, drops to $1 mil Jan 1.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Should he be dismissed during the final three years of the contract, WVU would owe him up to $6.9 million.

If Holgorsen leaves for another job, he would owe West Virginia between $1 million and $3 million depending on his departure date.

 

[WVpride304]

Fire him now. Why wait if you still have to spend that kind of money. Fire the terrible coach. Man up Shane.

Alabama doesnt have an offensive coordinator. Locksley was hired by Maryland and they havent filled the position.

Football Scoop is actually pretty credible.
It really comes down to what interest Dana has. Logan is graduating HS in June.

Its not a bad move, esp if you think you will be fired next year.

You can win big in Houston, and set yourself up for another big job.

It's a good spot for him. A big 3-4 run would position himself nicely and folks outside of WV think hes done a nice job here.

Just bragging more....i called this years back.

 

[CouchOnFire]

Quick question - who is UMD’s HBC and where was he before taking the UMD job?

And, who replaced him? All good questions!

[Darth_VadEER]

Thank you. I have been waiting.

 

[Darth_VadEER]

Neal Brown and Josh Heupel getting floated from WVU.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Heupel gets my vote hands down. Dude is legit. A better OC then Holgerson and probably a better overall HC

 

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers]

If Dana leaves then the haters will have to find someone else to hate every time WVU loses a game or doesn't win by 40 points.

 

[CouchOnFire]

Heupel gets my vote hands down. Dude is legit. A better OC then Holgerson and probably a better overall HC

And a 10 million dollar buyout... ouch!!

 

[deedoubleyou]

What about Dave Aranda? LSU DC and one of the highest paid coordinators in the NCAA.

 

[Darth_VadEER]

Matt Canada?

Go back to your day job as Big 12-2=10 PR Spin Master. You are so predictable FakeSportsWriter.

Mike Elko, Dave Aranda, Brent Venables, any of those three would be an instant upgrade!
