Not sure what S. Miss gave Huff for his staff?

The biggest difference i see is the buyouts.  Huff will leave S. Miss as soon as he gets a chance.  He better win, because he is burning a lot of bridges.

hilarious that USM inserted a specific buyout amount if CH would happen to resign before spring practice even starts this spring

Only thing I see missing is Smiss salary pool is like 1.7 and their support staff budget is 600k.

Also our salary pool is 1.9 and support staff number has not been released yet. 

But thank you for typing out.

I like the bonus for P5 victory.  I?d like to see everyone on the staff get 5k, as well.

I would say he is winning at everything he touches. He won a championship here. Marshall leaders want it all their way so they don't sign him and he goes to SMiss and takes all our good players with him leaving us in collapse. I'm sure he is smiling from ear to ear right about now knowing he took over a 1-11 team and going to contend next year.

So he was winning in 2023?

If DD was still coaching our basketball team we would be winning against S. Miss!

Whatever!

He couldn't even beat Coastal Carolina and their interim coach last season. Got beat by ODU and their interim coach by 25 points. Those were horrible losses. D'Antoni is a big reason the depth and roster are in such bad shape.

I remember when Dantoni lost to S Miss by 50.
