Bill Stewart had the Best Day Ever Yesterday
Published 1/3/2008 by YYSA at Yoda You Should Ask
... However, the Mountaineers rallied around Bill Stewart and came out and thumped the Sooners 48-28. Stewart the former assistant coach making a little over 135,000 a year really knocked the socks off his alma mater with the win because now he is the head coach of the future with a 5 year 800,000/year contract. Which all means that Bill Stewart pretty much had the best day ever. Anytime you can get a raise of about six times your current salary, you had a pretty good day. ...

... And then, this happened. I, like so many others, completely counted out West Virginia in their Fiesta Bowl match-up with the red hot Oklahoma Sooners. But, when I got home at the end of the first quarter last night, there were the Mountaineers up 6-0 (I was expecting the Sooners to be up 17-3). Then, as West Virginia was extending it's lead to 20-6 in the second quarter I saw their interim (at the time) head coach, Bill Stewart, prowling on the sidelines. Stewart was running up and down the sidelines like a General encouraging his troops. Stoops looked ...

... Rich Rodriguez who? The interim now turned head coach of west Virginia Bill Stewart has the gig. Last night in the fiesta bowl he put on a display, winning display, kinda like what Rich Rod. couldn't do against Pittsburgh. In WVU 48-28 win over Oklahoma they did exactly what they were supposed to do. They ran wild, played solid defense and scored...at will. I have to give it to Stewart, he came in and took over a team in turmoil after the loss of the coach and trip to BCS championship game and he kept their poise. He seems to be the right fit for the team. There was no reason to ...
Pitt and WVU Win

... . After a 20-point victory over Oklahoma, WVU looked to be fully recovered, as they hired Bill Stewart, who led the Mountaineers to a shocking win. For some reason, Pitt fans, (myself included) were happy to see WVU triumphant. Was it because of the Big East? Was it because Pitt beat them? Who knows, but WVU just chalked up another BCS win for the conference, which hasn't lost a BCS game since the Pitt-Utah debacle. ...

... --Congrats to WVU for hiring Bill Stewart, a.k.a. "Larry Coker 2.0". Clearly this was a hire based on emotion. How else do you describe giving the job to a coach whose career record is highlighted by an 8-25 mark at VMI? And Mountaineer fans, one question: if WVU gets blown out, does Stewart still get the job? ...
