He left 12 seconds run off the clock at the end. Should have called a TO. Terrible clock management.

WV had a running clock. They would have had 36 secs on the clock if Holgy called a TO. Instead the snap came off at 24 secs. Horrible job by Holgy. They still would have had a TO. At the end of the game they would have had an extra 2 plays.
They had two timeouts and I was wondering why he didn’t use one during the drive. Could have saved him 10 seconds easily
Of course this is why Holgerson will get crucified by the fans and the media. That two point conversion against Texas bought him nothing but some good press for two or three days
I bet the casinos in West Virginia will ban him for a month

I agree , both guys blew 10 seconds today , I was there today to witness ours!
He got to call 2 timeouts though before the last play lol.
Dana is a clown and he makes 4 million a year , and his hair looks worse than any of ours!
I think the last time I saw that might have been the Steelers Chargers AFC championship game (circa 93?). And the play they got out of it was a crappy dump off to Barry Foster that had no prayer of working.
That was a bizarro ending. Starting at the 25 w/ 42 secs and they are down at the 15 with 10 secs and no time-outs used?? B12 is like flag football. Too bad Holgy manages the clock like a player-coach of an intramural flag football team.
Yeah the ‘94 AFC Championship. I don’t really remember it but I’ve seen the highlights (if that’s what you even call it) of that 4th down play countless times on tv.
Which is why I always say HC's should not manage the clock. They should have a designated clock mgmt specialist next to them at the end, doing the quick math.
Have said this for years, many coaches at both the collegiate and pro levels don’t really know how to do it.
I think within a decade you will see teams hiring clock management specialists.
I thought this thread was gonna be about his sweet hair and awesome coaching moves.
You dont need a "specialist," just have an intern or GA do it. Honestly, I am super good at it, better than just about all HC's. It just takes basic math skills and the ability to think a play ahead. HC's have too much else going on
You can’t have a GA or intern making game decisions, the first time it goes wrong they and the head coach will get crucified for it.
If you’re going to do it it has to be regularly paid coach.
Not sure how you measure such things, but I would bet a helluva lot of money I’m better at it than you.
....needed to dump the visor for a regular hat 15 years ago...
.Glad you brought it up, watch his presser, the hair steals the show, but I just laugh now , 3.5 million and looks like a hobo, four strands of hair tucked into his visor. Lmao
I agree with the mismanagement of the clock cost Wvu the game.If we had 15 more seconds we probably win the darn game.In the Big 12 15 seconds is huge.Remember you heard it here first Wvu beats Oklahoma Friday in Motown.Call your local bookie and get some extra money for Christmas,thank me later.By the way I drink Natty Lite if you want to reward me for the tip.
Damn man Natty Light would be a little hard to stomach for me these days.
You see those Holgerson to Colorado rumors?
Never trust ANYONE that drinks Natty Lite!
The fact you are a hilljack proves my point!
Whats wrong with Natty Light? Put a lime in it and call it, “Naturalona”. But then again Im a naturalized hilljack living in the heart of Hoopieland. You drink what you can get to put up with these heathens.
Come to think of it, DH looks like he'd make a pretty good ski bum. He's probably about due for a change of venue, too!
08 I have two sons in their 30's and thats what they drink.Their whole softball team drinks it.It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Holgy left.He never really fit into the Morgantown culture,few do.But with Grier leaving,defensive problems and him blowing up on his OC yesterday,I think he'll test the waters.His son's a senior this year so he won't have to change HS.The time might be right to get out of Dodge for him.I've never been a fan of his JC-Transfer recruiting strategy but it's worked OK for us.In the grand scheme of things I doubt Wvu can get someone better,so I hope he stays.Rich Rods looking for a job,now there's another story!
Rich Rods lack of success at Arizona really, really surprised me. I thought that would be the perfect gig for him. Obviously he had problems off the field as well, but I thought he would win big there.
I'm with you on this,I thought he would be in contention for the PAC 12 crown every year,wrong again.Rich has had off the field problems everywhere he's been in including Glenville State.Oh well I guess we all have problems.
Namely cheerleaders. Kinda funny to see him grovel back to Rita that one time while at Greystone....
