I disagree on the up and down.  I think if WVU can win enough games to allow Holgorsen to keep his job (probably 6), WVU will get back to the big time fast.  Holgorsen has had two problems since he came to WVU.  First, no defense.  Its his fault for hiring Joe Deforest, a great Special Teams Coordinator at Okie State and a close friend, to be his Defensive Coordinator.  Deforest's D was epically bad.  If that problem is solved, and I think they are on the right path, WVU will win a bunch of games with that offense.  Watching the O in the Maryland game, I can tell you the offense is back to being a proficient machine.  It will be interesting to see what they do against Oklahoma this weekend.  Second, he lost a ton of talent on offense (Geno Smith, Steadman Bailey, Tavon Austin) and had a QB who was brand new to the system last year in transfer Trickett.  You could see he couldn't run the system at all last year and the offense looked crappy because of it.  With QBs developing behind him, I think the offense is in good shape for the future.  He is still recruiting very very well.  Offense good, defense improving dramatically, recruiting well.  WVU has to solve the special teams issues from this week and this team is legit.
