Well..as I sat in the Monsoon at M&T Bank Stadium...watching a horrific ballbame...at least if you were in Blue and Gold...(MY wife enjoyed every minute of it!)...I noticed many things but there was something significant in my minds eye...and what I saw was shocking and concerning!...and this just didn't start with Holgorsen...it started with Stewart and has metastisized under Holgerson...
As many know I was a supporter of Rich and what he did for the program...and still am for that matter...IMHO what Rich did defined what the DNA was of the team....he beleived in playing fast..and I am not speaking to the play calling perse...he beleived in skinnied down linemen who could move their feet...he beleived in a high tempo practice so he could take advantage of wearing down teams in the fourth quarter...he beleived in playing physical....he built an "SEC" type football team...and we ALL liked it!..
Saturday I was in disbeleif...Maryland beat Wv because they were the faster of the two teams on both sides of the ball...and they were more physical...say for Darwin Cook who still remembers how to hit a guy...that personal foul on him BTW was total BS...I digress.....sorry........
Bill Stewart tried to get bigger in the trenches and go back to a more Don Nehlen type team.because that is what he knew......Holgy is putting together a BIG 12 type team because thats what he knows....with all of the coaching changes the team has gotten away from what made them good..a team nobody wanted to play..........honestly....I am no longer sure what the short term future holds.....WVUDAD may be right....Holgy may not be the right guy for this program....![Facepalm :L :L](/images/smilies/facepalm.gif)
