Who was Bill Stewart?

William L. "Bill" Stewart, nicknamed "Stew", was an American football coach. He was named interim head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers after Rich Rodriguez left for Michigan in December 2007. After leading the Mountaineers to a 48–28 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl, he was named the school’s 32nd head football coach on January 3, 2008. Stewart resigned amid accusations of initiating a smear campaign against his appointed successor, Dana Holgorsen. He was previously the head coach of Virginia Military Institute for three seasons.
