| 3rd January, 2008 - 10:52 am | SI.com - Bill Stewart was promoted to Head Coach of West Virginia, losing the interim tag after the Mountaineers' 48-28 win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
Stewart was to be introduced Thursday at a morning news conference at the team's hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz., athletic department spokesman Mike Fragale told The Associated Press.
Stewart had been the associate head coach under Rich Rodriguez, who left for Michigan last month. Stewart then became the interim coach.
Mountaineers' quarterback Pat White, who ran for 150 yards and threw for 176 and two touchdowns in the Fiesta Bowl victory over the No. 3 Sooners, began stumping for Stewart on the field after the game.
"He deserves it," White said. "A great man. A great coach. All the players respect hi,m and all the players love him. You couldn't ask for a better man to lead us to victory today." [READ] |
