Dana Holgorsen finally gets to coach football tomorrow in the first of West Virginia’s 15 spring practices. Since he was announced as the new offensive coordinator Dec. 15, Holgorsen has been able to do only a few things critically related to the Mountaineers. Truth be told, assembling a coaching staff was a pretty tidy affair, save the Lonnie Galloway departure, and recruiting took a little more than a month to secure and strengthen.

There’s been a healthy amount of free time to familiarize himself with his surroundings and the people and places within. Remember, this is a guy who, on the day he was introduced at WVU, confessed he preferred big cities. Morgantown is big enough for him, though, and he’s had no trouble and a whole lot of fun making himself at home.

Oh, home is still a hotel room and people want to make a big deal of that, but it’s wasted energy … and Holgorsen is, of nothing else, into efficiency. Simplicity is the key for the man and the coach.

“I’m never there,” he said. “Typically I get there anywhere from 10 to 12 at night and I’m there until whenever I wake up. Then I shower and leave and when I’m working, I’m working.”

And when he comes home, the bed has been made, the floor has been vacuumed, the bathroom has been cleaned and the towels have been replaced.

“It’s just easy,” he said. “Convenience is a part of what I do. It makes sense. A lot of stuff that doesn’t make sense is inconvenient. I try to live like that. That makes sense to me.”

Holgorsen and his familiar offensive assistants vow to install the offense in three days the first week of spring practice. The next four weeks will be spent revisiting and refining ideas. It’s the way he learned during stops at Texas Tech (2000-07), Houston (2008-09) and Oklahoma State (2010), and it’s pretty convenient, as well.

“That’s my approach offensively as far as just making sense of things,” he said.  “Life’s hard. If you make it harder, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
