COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — On Nov. 29, Dana Holgorsen reassured his boss he wanted to remain the head coach at West Virginia, but he subsequently declined a one-year contract extension and now is in contract talks with the University of Houston.
MetroNews and the Dominion Post confirmed that over the weekend Houston sought permission from WVU athletics director Shane Lyons to contact Holgorsen. Sources with knowledge of the situation said back-channel talks have been ongoing for a couple weeks.
“Who knows, if the talks with Houston go well, this could happen by 12:01 tomorrow,” a source said.
