Dana Holgorsen: Spring football news conference

Thanks to BlueGoldNews.com for not only having a camera that didn’t reject the memory card, bur for filming today’s event.

Not a lot of questions at today’s news conference, but Dana Holgorsen had a lot of answers, including the much-discussed plans for the coaching staff … that seem as if they’ll unfold exactly as we prophecised prophecized prophesised predicted here before: Holgorsen will coach the quarterbacks, graduate assistant Michael Burchett will assist, Damon Cogdell is the assistant defensive line coach and the new hire will likely run the special teams.

The Mountaineers are also at 85 scholarships. He says 68 scholarship players will be on campus for spring practice, which begins Sunday, but I followed up on that later. It’s 67. When last we went over this, it was 71. Dustin Garrison, Andrew Buie, Paul Millard and Keishawn Richardson have left the team. (Garrett Hope is playing baseball, but he could return to the team, a decision that hasn’t been made.) Add the 18 signees who are not yet enrolled and the number is 85.
