3 Guys Before The Game

The tenure of Dana Holgorsen is complete at West Virginia University.

After eight seasons, Holgorsen will head to Houston for a reported 20 million dollars over five years.

How should Holgorsen's reign with the Mountaineers be remembered? Who will WVU now pursue to fill the vacancy, and what qualities should the new coach bring to the job?

Brad Howe, Hoppy Kercheval and Tony Caridi provide their insight on those questions and take a deep look into the program's strengths and weaknesses.

The University of Houston has requested and received permission to speak with Dana Holgorsen about its coaching vacancy.

What began as a perceived leverage play for a longer contract extension may become Holgorsen's departure after eight seasons in Morgantown.

The fellas Brad Howe, Hoppy Kercheval, and Tony Caridi discuss the possible scenarios that will play out very quickly in both Houston and Morgantown.

As a new year begins, WVU could very well be hiring a new head coach.

Due to the timeliness of the story, Three Guys will update episodes as the story breaks.

This is one of the most intriguing Mountaineer bowl games in a long time. What in the world is going to happen?

WVU will be playing without record setting quarterback Will Grier, receiver Gary Jennings, and starting tackle Yodny Cajuste.

With Dana Holgorsen returning to call plays and two new quarterbacks ready to take their shot, exactly what what WVU will look like remains a mystery.

Hoppy Kercheval, Brad Howe, and Tony Caridi discuss the possibilities and ask the question of whether this is really the final game of the 2018 season or the start of the 2019 campaign.

Wishing all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.

Enjoy the holiday, we'll be back later this week.
