Summary
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.
