25 college football coaches you want to party with
By Brad Weiss
22. Dana Holgorsen
Dana Holgorsen looks like he’s been to some very good parties in his day. Watching him patrol the sidelines on Saturdays is like watching someone wondering where all the beer went at a party. He looks angry, disheveled and when his team wins, elated.
Holgorsen was named the head coach at West Virginia prior to the 2011 season, and had an immediate impact. He led the team to the Big East Championship in his first season, as the team compiled a 10-3 record. For his efforts, he was named FWAA First-Year Coach of the Year.
The 45-year-old has served as an assistant for guys like Kevin Sumlin, Mike Gundy and Mike Leach during his coaching career. Those three guys are known to be some of the coolest coaches in college football, so there’s no doubt some of that has to have worn off on Holgorsen. I can only imagine the kind of partying taking place after big wins with that group.
As a former college football player, Holgorsen has probably been to his fair share of parties in his life, and can undoubtedly still throw a few back. I would imagine a night of partying with the head coach of West Virginia would probably end in a diner, stuffing your face and trying to sober up.
