West Virginia Announces Bill Stewart Resignation At Late Friday Press Conference
With the way the West Virginia world has turned this week, it was only fitting the Bill Stewart era came to a close at a 9 p.m. press conference on a Friday night. After reports began leaking indicating Stewart would step down on Friday afternoon, athletic director Oliver Luck met with the media late Friday evening to make the move official and introduce Dana Holgorsen as the Mountaineers next head coach. The announcement ends a whirlwind week that began with rumors of Stewart’s attempt to undermine Holgorsen by leaking “dirt” to the media.
The press conference revealed little we didn’t know already. Having Stewart around amidst a flurry of rumors became too much of a distraction, according to Luck, and the move had to be made now, not at the end of the year as planned. Luck and Stewart had discussions about the rumors circulating, though the West Virginia athletic director would not address the rumors or what, if anything, was gleaned from the meetings.
