Losing sucks donkey and every time a team loses, fans look for a reason. When teams endure a losing streak, they look at the head coach. West Virginia is currently in the midst of a 9-game losing streak to ranked teams. That leaves many fans grumbling about Dana Holgorsen. Well as a WVU fan, you should know you’re history. Dana isn’t the only coach to struggle with ranked teams.
