Topic: GoHerd.com: Phil Bennett, Mark Whipple Up For MU Jobs

[W0lfman]

According to internet reports and insider sources, Marshall head coach Mark Snyder is hoping he has the two coaches to fill the open offensive and defensive coordinator positions on his staff. Former SMU head coach Phil Bennett is expected to give Snyder an answer by Tuesday on taking the defensive spot, and Bennett was one of the outstanding coordinators in the nation before taking the SMU job.

Since Bennett was in town from Wednesday evening through Saturday evening on his interview, I think he is seriously considering it and hopefully will accept it.  I haven't heard a peep about Whipple but his teams at UMass set several offensive records while he was the coach.  Appears to like the passing game a great deal.

I just hope he has solid backups just in case.

If we can somehow land those 2 guys there is no reason why this team will not be back on top again very soon. Just hope it is true.
