Different people and places have had different reactions to WVU announcing Bill Stewart as its new football coach, but you could see the celebration coming in Stewart’s hometown of New Martinsville and you wondered how the people would cheer the hiring. Maybe they’d name a street after him or declare some date on the calendar Billy Stewart Day.

Nope. Turns out one place had a neat idea to honor a true meat and potatoes kind of guy.

When Stewart’s hiring was announced three days ago, signs and marquee boards dotted the town, congratulating Stewart on his new job. On Main Street, Quinet’s Court Restaurant was advertising a popular “Bill Stewart Special” — a 10-ounce strip streak with French fries for $5.95.

“We’re loving every minute of this, and we wanted to honor Bill Stewart for his great achievement with a permanent item on the menu,” said Jim Quinet, whose family has owned the popular diner since the mid-1930s.
