08:17 AM ET 05.30 | Dana Holgorsen has reportedly been part of more incidents than previously known. The first five were hushed up, but the sixth incident at Mardi Gras Casino in Cross Lanes on May 18 has blown the cover off Holgorsen's embarrassing antics. Nitro police were called to the casino at about 3:20 a.m. on May 18 to remove an apparently intoxicated customer who didn't want to leave. Holgorsen was asked to step outside, sit on a bench and await a taxi. No charges were filed. That sent WVU into damage control. WVU athletic director Oliver Luck was summoned back to Morgantown from a Big East Conference athletic directors meeting by school president James Clements, according to sources. WVU's president reportedly told Luck that if he read one more article about the coach-in-waiting, it would cost Luck his job.

WVU pres to AD "Go get us a guy that can win. Push out the current guy. I don't care what it takes."

AD to pres "OK"

WVU pre to AD "Oh crap, you did exactly what I told you to do!"

Kind of hypocritical now, huh?

Stewart probably sees this guy as job security.

I'm not a square hole-square peg kinda guy but Luck looks like he should be checking backstage passes for a WWF event, not an AD for a BCS school.

Looks anorexic to me.

This is what happens when you're in a hurry to find new head coaching blood. Just because you have a couple of good years as an OC or DC doesn't mean you're qualified to be the CEO of a major D1 program. I laughed when TX signed Muschamp as HCIW, I laughed when I heard about Holgorsen, and I continue to laugh when I hear how Malzahn is next. There is more to running the railroad than just tooting the whistle.

Just reading the same article Piratey. Harley, Papa, Woody's Boy and a bunch of us knew that this day would arrive. We will have to find out what prompted it now as I always expected it as part of a deal with NCAA.

What I wondering was where does this leave the whole NCAA investigation and the OSU program? If Tressel pulls the Nixon, will that make the rest of it dry up and go away?
