Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen will become the next head coach at West Virginia University in 2012, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday.
Holgorsen will reportedly head to Morgantown, W.V., to become the school's offensive coordinator in 2011, while head coach Bill Stewart will remain at the helm for one more season.
Stewart, whose current contract ends after the 2013 season, would reportedly be reassigned within the athletic department after next season.
Neither of the two schools have commented on the report.
According to the report, Holgorsen will receive a six-year contract. The first will pay him $500,000 as offensive coordinator, while the next five will be at $2 million per season.
Holgorsen, 39, is considered one of the top offensive minds in college football, having overseen high-powered offenses at Texas Tech and Houston prior to his arrival in Stillwater, Okla., this season.
Houston quarterback Case Keenum threw for more than 5,000 yards in 2008 and 2009 running Holgorsen's offense. This season, Oklahoma State's offense ranked fourth in the FBS in total yards and third in passing yards.
West Virginia went 9-3 this season to earn a berth in the Dec. 28 Champs Sports Bowl against North Carolina State. The 58-year-old Stewart has coached the Mountaineers since the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, compiling a 28-11 record.
