Take a step back and try to take in everything that happened at West Virginia University the past month. We could go around the room and everyone could come up with a storyline or a moral and be correct and provocative. When the conversation turns to me, I’d gather all the different takes on the different elements in this story and find that which unites them.

Bill Stewart, Oliver Luck and Dana Holgorsen all have second chances entangled somewhere in this situation. They are and are still to be defined by what they’ve done with them and what they will do with them in a trade that doesn’t gift too many of these opportunities.

What Holgorsen does with his second chance is all that remains unwritten. In the early hours on May 18, he was made to leave a casino in Cross Lanes, and while that seems like quite some time ago, it is important to remember the shame that brought upon himself and his employer and that a lot of people thought he was unfit for the position he was to assume next season.

He is now in charge of the entire establishment. It’s pointless to have a conversation here about what is expected and what the consequences might be, but it’s just as dumb to ignore the obvious.

Holgorsen has a second chance and has had a front-row seat to view how those around him have botched and conquered those kind of chances.
