RIGHT NOW, DANA HOLGORSEN'S THE BEST CHOICE FOR WEST VIRGINIA
by Spencer Hall
No coach may be perfect for the job, but let it be clear: no job is perfect for the coach, or even a coach. Look at West Virginia, for instance. 38th in population, 39th by GDP, and yet somehow still playing way, way over its head in football for decades. Just run the numbers and see. This is a job for extreme overachievers, ingenious people capable of working without the gifts of built-in recruiting pipelines, huge budgets, and the lack of interference from sometimes truculent local political forces.
