how will Marshall field a team now for the bowl game?

[MBDawg601]

Well, on paper. USM made a better HC hire than we did. May not turn out to be the case, but they did hire a current HC.

Ouch.

Personally, I hope they don't and have to forfeit. That may show that the whole transferring situation needs some more regulation. This free agency with little to no rules has and is running college football !!!

This is an instance of the coach leaving though right?

I think they need to push portals and coaching changes until AFTER the bowl games. I know that's not going to be possible though.

The timing of Early Signing day and portal opening puts coaches and administrations in a tight spot to make changes early so they can get started recruiting.

CFB needs an overhaul big time.

Marshall should opt out of the bowl game but then who would take their place?

US. We volunteer as tribute.

[CaptainObvious]

Correct! Have you seen our strength of schedule? State is the best damn 2-10 team in the country and it ain't even close!!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

US. We volunteer as tribute.

Being that we would be starting Jake Weir in a bowl game, I will pass on that opportunity.

LOL at the idea that Charles Huff is a better hire than Jeff Lebby.

[Ranchdawg]

I vote us to replace Marshall in bowl game. Another amazing loss to a lesser team on Lebby’s resume.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I would trade Lebby for Huff. What has Lebby done as a HC? Besides going 2-10. Huff is 32-20 at Marshall with a conference title. USM definitely made a better hire than us on paper which is sad

Huff is your typical average joe blow head coach who can do well against weaker competition in lower level leagues, but he wasn't even dynamic enough at Marshall to get a contract extension. They were going to let him walk and weren't going to extend him. He actually downgraded his job because there is no interest in him at the upper levels of college football. He's never been a coordinator. He doesn't have an offense or a defense that he's attached to. He's not a great recruiter.

Oh he can get you IN THE GAME with anyone. The problem is that he fixates on that one player and costs you three others, and still doesn't get that player. People seem to forget we lost out on Eric Gray because he got so damn fixated on John Emery.

Also, he's going to get no support at USM. I've seen people trying to compare it to Cignetti taking all his JMU guys to Indiana. It's not quite the same situation. In that case, they were moving up in competition and NIL dollars with a coach. This is a lateral move to a place with FAR LESS resources. A couple will follow him, but not the ones they think are following.

There are a ton of other G5 head coaches that I would rate significantly higher in head coaching potential than Charles Huff.

Hahaha!!! Yeah...........

Holy.....Shit

[StarkVegasSteve]

Same. Just off the top of my head: GJ Kinne, Kane Wommack(even though he's a P4 coordinator), Eric Morris, Ryan Silverfield, Clay Helton, Jeff Traylor, Michael Desormeaux, Jason Candle, Jeff Monken, and I could go on.

[MBDawg601]

HEY! I said on paper. I am way more excited about Lebby's potential, we just are not there yet. Huff has proven that he can win, at Marshall.

[MBDawg601]

I thought about that afterwards. I was wondering who we would start... Army would run the ball down our throat.

Ouch.

Hired a G5 HC that just won the conference USM plays in. So yes, on paper a better hire.

[Pancho]

wait 3 years and the opinion could be totally changed.

For sure!

Ouch.

Huff has turned out to be a pretty good HC. Moderately impressed. USM made a good move.
