Can someone please explain to me why Bill Stewart was signed to a SIX YEAR CONTRACT??? Forget the loss last week...why??? Am I missing something or is WVU's athletic department just really poorly run. I feel like after only coaching 3 games he should have at least the season to show he can coach....

The one tthing you can say for him is that he's cheap - they're paying him something like 1/10th the money annually they were paying Rodriguez. But yeah what has Stewart done since they gave him the job in the first place to make them decide they needed to extend him? Even if they smoked ECU, this wouldn't make sense.

It would be difficult for a coach to recruit without a contract of at least five years.  Most contracts add a year every year, so that recruits can be told the coach will be threr for all five years.  The key is what is the buyout?  If its small for the school, they have given themselves a means to pull the chute on a poor coach.
