(Update: I think this makes it official.)

If you have a look at Dustin Garrison’s Twitter timeline, you’ll quickly ascertain WVU’s going to be one closer to the scholarship cap.

One of my favorites, and probably one of yours, too, given his dramatic background, the Bowling Green game, the knee injury before the Orange Bowl and the long, determined road back to form, where he happened to be looking at a really big crowd for his final collegiate season.

Oh, and he can wrestle. Long live The Champ!

We’re also expecting something official soon on Tom Bradley and UCLA. It sounds like some things need to be signed and sent and that’s about it, but everybody I’m talking to says this is coming.

Where does WVU go from here?

Good question. With Bradley, WVU has six defensive assistants and three  offensive assistants. Logic suggests Dana Holgorsen seeks to balance things and replace Bradley by adding an offensive assistant.

Nope. And it won’t be Michael Burchett getting promoted from offensive graduate assistant, either.

Look for WVU to replace Bradley by going out and hiring someone who coaches what Bradley had been coaching — and that’d be special teams.

Special teams? Special teams.

It seems …

Check out 5:30 p.m. Friday. We sort of knew this was coming. We  knew WVU had Bradley, Damon Cogdell and Bruce Tall coaching the defensive line and that there was no way all three would coach the position. Someone had to move, and amid all the scenarios, I kept hearing and sharing Cogdell would stay put and Bradley would go somewhere else on the staff.

Looks like special teams, and I’m somewhat dubious what Bradley would have actually done because Joe DeForest is still on the staff and Holgorsen still trusts him. Point being, UCLA is a better fit for Bradley, no?

Anyhow, WVU’s gone to some lengths to re-work this staff and bring back coaches and hire Burchett and welcome Burchett. I think it’s where Holgorsen wants it to be, so I think he’ll get a special teams guy. A year ago, WVU went down the road a piece with Phil Galiano, who today is in his second season at Rutgers and coaches the special teams … and tight ends.
