ROANOKE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Former WVU Football Coach Bill Stewart has died after an apparent heart attack.

Stewart was playing golf at the Stonewall Resort Monday with former WVU AD Eddie Pastilong when he collapsed.

WVU has released the following statement:
"Former West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart has died this afternoon from an apparent heart attack. No further details are available at this time."

Stewart was named head football coach to the Mountaineers in 2007 after then coach Rich Rodriguez left for Michigan.

He'd gone 28-12 in three seasons after taking over for Rodriguez but failed to earn a Bowl Championship Series berth.

Stewart resigned in 2011 amidst controversy of bringing in new coach Dana Holgorsen on board.

Stewart was 59-years-old.
