CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen and head coach Bill Stewart are making unwanted headlines that has the Mountaineers athletic director re-examining his decision to have them work together.
Oliver Luck said Tuesday in a statement he doesn’t discuss personnel matters publicly. But with signs that the strained relationship between Holgorsen and Stewart is boiling over, when asked by KDKA-FM whether he would do the same arrangement again, Luck says, “I don’t know.”
An intoxicated Holgorsen was escorted out of a casino last month, but no charges were filed.
And Monday night, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Colin Dunlap told KDKA-FM that Stewart called him shortly after Holgorsen’s hiring in December and asked him to “dig up some dirt” on the new hire.
Stewart didn’t respond to messages left by The Associated Press.
