Turns out Valentine’s Day may really be Christmas for West Virginia fans.

If a settlement in the courts, followed by the long-awaited release of the Big 12 schedule wasn’t enough, it looks like Dana Holgorsen is getting close to finalizing his defensive staff.

A few names are flying around out there and seem to have some legs.

One is Erik Slaughter, a defensive line coach from Stephen F. Austin in Texas.

West Virginia Metronews, citing unnamed sources, reported earlier tonight that he had accepted a position on the defensive staff.

The other name floating around out there, and a bigger name, is Keith Patterson - the former Pitt defensive coordinator who became interim head coach when Todd Graham bolted for Arizona State.

Patterson accepted a job at Arkansas State last month.

One source, when reached, could not confirm any deals had been made yet but certainly sounds like these two names have some legs, and are at the very least in the mix.

Could be a couple of days before we know for sure.

So as I’ve said before, until the ink is dry. . .
