The addition was later confirmed by WVU Coach Dana Holgorsen's Twitter page, not long after wrapping up an interview with another candidate for the job.
Before working as a graduate assistant at WVU, he served on the staffs at Lake Worth (2006-08), Palm Beach Lakes (2003-05) and Glades Central (2001-02) high schools.
Seider was a quarterback at WVU from 1996-98 and finished his career at Florida A&M, where he won the Doug Williams Award for National Offensive Player of the Year at the Division I-AA level and the Jake Gaither Award, which is considered the Heisman Trophy for black colleges.
As a senior at FAMU, Seider passed for 2,512 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Country roads take JaJuan Seider north … so now what?
MORGANTOWN, West Virginia -- What looked like a possibility became a certainty Friday night when JaJuan Seider left Marshall’s football staff to become running backs coach at WVU.
But was it really much of a surprise?
Seider has two degrees from WVU, began his collegiate career there before transferring to Florida A&M and was a graduate assistant there. And then there’s the money. Reports had former WVU RB Coach Robert Gillespie making $300,000 annually before he left for Tennessee. If Seider gets anywhere near that, that’s exponentially more than the shade above $90,000 he was making at Marshall.
So what does this mean for the Thundering Herd? It means Head Coach Doc Holliday has less than three weeks before spring practice begins on March 26 to fill the void. Will he cut it as close as Dana Holgorsen did in hiring Seider? WVU’s spring practice begins Sunday.
