Holgorsen knows that nearly every Saturday he's an internet sensation. He is fully aware that his disheveled hair is "a thing." (So much so that when typing his name into the Google search bar, it autofills "Dana Holgorsen hair.") He knows that college football Twitter timelines nearly vibrated apart during Week 6, when TV cameras caught him chugging one of his beloved sugar-free Red Bulls on the Puskar Stadium sidelines while his team was up by 24 over Texas Tech ... from his custom Red Bull mini-fridge that WVU keeps by the bench.
Usually, it's one of his three children who will inform him of his social media prowess each Saturday. After the Tech win, the info was delivered internally.
"When my marketing guy calls and rips my ass, I know it," he says, laughing, when asked about his infamy. "I don't do that on purpose. I can assure you that. I don't follow it. What you see is what you get with me. That's the way it's always been. That's the way it'll always stay."
Anyone who believes it all might be an eccentric act needs only to take the matter to the coaches and players who are with him each day.
"Oh no, that's Coach Holgo for real," says safety JaNAME REDACTED Harper, one of 20 seniors (and 16 fifth-year seniors) on the roster. "People will ask me all the time, the Red Bulls and the hair sticking up, he's not really like that all the time, is he? And I'm like, that's Coach, man. He's the real deal."
"Yeah, he's still plenty wide open," explains wide receivers coach Tyron Carrier, who's in his first year on the West Virginia staff. "But you know I played for him back in the day [in 2008 and '09 when Holgorsen was offensive coordinator at Houston]. If you saw him then and then saw him now ... I tell him all the time that now he's more Coach Diet Coke than Coach Red Bull."
