Holgorsen, ex-wife named in West Virginia rental lawsuit

A lawsuit filed in a Monongalia County, West Virginia court Wednesday alleges head coach Dana Holgorsen and ex-wife Candice Holgorsen owe thousands of dollars in back rent and fees to their landlord.

Rodney Poland, the plaintiff and landlord involved with the case, said the townhouse, which Dana Holgorsen agreed by text to pay rent for after signing the year-long lease, was left “absolutely destroyed.”

The damage included holes in the walls, torn whirlpool faucets and dog feces and hair in the bathroom that has cost roughly $20,000 to repair, Poland said.

After moving to Houston to take on the Cougars’ head job, Poland said, Dana Holgorsen sent rent checks back to West Virginia, but stopped after Candice Holgorsen moved out June 1.
