Dana Holgorsen to coach AGAINST WVU again?

As college football continues to navigate the shifting tides of conference realignment, TCU finds itself at a pivotal juncture. Following a lackluster 2023 season that contrasted sharply with their Cinderella run in the College Football Playoff, the Horned Frogs are reportedly seeking external guidance. Enter Dana Holgorsen, the former Houston head coach and a controversial figure from his tenure at West Virginia. Holgorsen’s potential role as a consultant for TCU has stirred interest and concern, particularly in Morgantown.

Holgorsen’s stint at West Virginia was characterized by offensive fireworks but also strategic shortcomings. His innovative offensive schemes created memorable moments but were overshadowed by issues in recruiting and roster management. WVU fans have mixed feelings about Holgorsen. While his high-scoring offenses were a highlight, his departure to Houston left a sour taste as it looked like he left a sitting Power 5 job, for a group of 5 job. The Mountaineers struggled after his exit, grappling with roster issues and inconsistent quarterback play—problems that many attributed to Holgorsen’s recruiting strategy, which relied heavily on junior college transfers and regular Transfers.

As TCU considers bringing Holgorsen on board, the implications for both the Horned Frogs and the Big 12 conference could be significant. WVU supporters will be watching closely, as Holgorsen’s impact at TCU may offer insights into the coaching dynamics that have influenced the Mountaineers’ recent challenges. The outcome of this potential partnership could shape the offense at TCU and provide valuable lessons for both programs. Stay tuned to wvinsiders.com for more on this, and other WVU and Big 12 news.
