Since 2025
Built West Virginia into a Big East power in his first stint (60-26, four conference titles, 2001-07) with the legendary Pat White/Steve Slaton duo before controversially leaving for Michigan — a decision he publicly called "a mistake" upon his 2024 return. Also coached at Michigan, Arizona, Ole Miss (OC), and Jacksonville State (ASUN/C-USA titles) before coming home.
