WVU has been working with an unbalanced staff for the past year with an extra couple coaches on the defensive side. This also will make the not so silent masses happy with the termination of one Joe DeForest and the hiring of an actual offensive coordinator.

Wickline didn't work out in Texas, but at least he has history and familiarity with Holgorsen from Holgorsen's year in Stillwater.
