{Roanoke, West Virginia}...Former West Virginia University football coach Bill Stewart has died from an apparent heart attack after collapsing while playing in a golf charity event at Stonewall Resort in Roanoke with former WVU AD Eddie Pastilong, as part of the West Virginia Hospitality and Tourism Association’s annual golf outing. Stewart was rushed to Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital in Weston where he was pronounced dead after life-saving procedures were used. Stewart, who would have turned 60 next month, was hired as an assistant coach for the Mountaineers in 2000, was named interim head coach in 2007 after Rich Rodriguez left for Michigan, and then elevated to head coach in January 2008 after a stunning victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Stewart resigned as head coach in June 2011 after he and WVU athletic director Oliver Luck disagreed over the hiring of Dana Holgorsen as the head-coach-in-waiting.
