Fire Bill Stewart NOW!

OK, you're down by 7 points with nearly 12 minutes left in the game plus all your timeouts. It's 3rd and 9 from your own 24 yard line. What do you do? Run a quick dive up the middle? Nope? Coach Stewart did. So that didn't work and it's 4th and 8. What do you do now? Any sane person would kick a field goal. Too bad WVU's head coach Bill Stewart is mentally retarded.

Tomorrow the headlines will probably be squawking about the blown instant replay in the 1st half. Clearly a fumble from any WVU fan's perspective, but hey it is what it is, we can't help that. What we can do is put our heads down and play harder. Which is exactly what the WVU players did. Blown calls can't be helped.

What can be helped, though is the play calling. Believe in your kids. Give them an opportunity to win. Coach Stewart you failed your players, your fans, and pretty much the entire state of WV. And while we are are at it, aren't you the special teams coach? How do we get not 1 but 2 illegal formation penalties on the same kickoff? Jesus fucking Christ you're giving me an ulcer!!!

I'm calling for the immediate termination of Bill Stewart. He's just not capable of being a division I coach. Enough said. He would be more suited being an assistant coach for some pee wee league. There's a man on the sidelines that can get shit done. We don't need to look very far for a replacement. This guy is a world-class coach. I am formally recommending John "Doc" Holliday for the job as WVU's new head coach. Anyone else with me here?

And since we are on WVU...

The draft is a prime example of why I have a problem with WVU's coaching..especially now. Rich Rodriguez, although a money hungry douchebag, actually had the program heading in the right direction. We had a shot at the national title. We are getting national exposure too. Then when he left, the school had a chance to really get the program heading forward even faster. But then an emotional decision was made and Bill Stewart was hired. Bill Stewart was the feel good story of the season for WVU. Lifetime assistant coach takes over the team temporarily after douchebag head coach leaves for greener pastures. New temp head coach takes a huge underdog team into a BCS bowl and underdog completely fucks up Oklahoma on national TV. Lifetime assistant turned Interim Head coach becomes new head coach after a single game.

The good thing about Bill Stewart is that he is surrounding himself with some excellent coaches. He knows he is in way over his head, so he's getting all the help he can get. However, the program is taking a step back. WVU really had an opportunity to step up and hire a big name coach. There were some big names on the list too. But they went cheap and emotional and we got Bill Stewart.

This lack of exposure hurts some otherwise talented kids. There are more players on WVU's squad than Steve Slaton and Pat White. One name that comes to mind is Dan Mozes. This man was such a good offensive lineman. He was the reason Steve Slaton and Pat White made names for themselves. Hell, I could have been an all american running behind this guy. Yet, he went undrafted in the 2007 draft. He should have been a 1st rounder. In fact, not a single WVU player was drafted in 2007. That's a fucking shame because there are some big time talents, especially that offensive line.

WVU needs to go forward and not backward. They need some press. This year, look for Noel Devine to have a breakout year and Pat White will be running his way towards a heisman trophy. A good coach would take that press and make his other stars shine as well. I got that feeling though that it's just not going to happen. You're going to ask a non-WVU fan to name some WVU players and they will say Pat White, or maybe Noel Devine, but then they will draw a blank. And that's just wrong.

Owen Schmitt

How does a talent like Owen Schmitt last 5 rounds in this draft? The man is awesome. He's a powerful fullback with some speed. The dude crushes guys. He's dedicated, loyal, and most of all, he's not fragile.

On the other hand, you have Steve Slaton, who would have probably been a 1st rounder after his sophomore year. Then he got fat and lazy his junior year and it showed. He came into the season 40 lbs heavier than his sophomore year. They tried to play it off like it was all muscle, but from my point of view it all looked like it went to his head and ass. He definitely lost a step and became even more fragile. Then he pretty much stunk up the joint at the combine. Yet he went 2 rounds earlier than Schmitt.

Schmitt can run, block, and catch. He would also make a good linebacker as well. Hopefully the Seahawks will see his talents and let the man fuck shit up like he does so well!
