Topic: Raleigh Paper Speculating Huff A Candidate At Duke

[jdonaccbus]

We fired 4 coaches. If he leaves, who coaches the bowl game?

FWIW, I think Duke will promote Johns from within. They have some offensive pieces they would like to keep so by naming your OC as your new head coach will help.

There's a Duke podcast called "Big J & Little J Show"

On yesterday's episode one guy said, "some inside info, I know that Charles Huff wants the Duke job."  He later said "just keep an eye on a Huff that's all I'll say"

Are we all missing something about Huff?

He checks alot of boxes. 3 bowl games in 3 seasons.  Asst HC to the goat, speaks well and is a known great recruiter. From the outside looking in, he looks very impressive

If duke or someone else called our AD to inquire about buyout, do you waive/significantly reduce it if that's what's required for him to get hired away?

No way. These schools toss around money likes it nothing. They've got plenty to pay up.

Huff has been talking to all his connections since mid season.
He is trying to find a landing spot for him.
He does not want to be here.

He has had multiple conversations with certain folks at Duke.
There may be a relationship made and he just might bs his way into Duke.

I'm thinking Spears is the Marshall staffer in the 247 article.  Promote the heck.out of him as an unnamed source to get him hired and a buyout.

Did his agent write that piece?  We finished last in our division and were not competitive with 3 of our conference mates in a row.  He is good for 1 or 2 bug wins a year but I don't think he can string together a season.  We have seen a pattern in the 3 years he has been at MU.  Big win followed by disappointment.

As I read the article I was thinking, the staff must want to be rid o him as much as we fans.  Hope no one is as kind as the UMass warning he's your problem now.

I feel about Huff the way I did after year 3 of Snyder and year 4 of Doc after the beat down at Rice in the championship. Which I thought I may have been wrong about in 2014. But by 2016 again realized he wasn't going to be a championship level coach.

With both coaches I knew, and I think most others knew, we were just prolonging coaches that weren't going to get us where we all wanted.

Huff showed a ton of promise but I think there's been two years in a row where a wandering eye after starting off the year hot killed his and the team's focus.

Well said...Huff was looking to move on always instead of finishing the job at MU.  Both can be accomplished as Jim Donnan proved.

Did his agent write that piece?

If he didn't write it, he bought drinks all night for the person that did.

53% FBS win percentage with one game to go in his third season.  That article is lipstick on a pig.

I need the name of his agent.  Huff's agent is much better at his job than Huff is at being a HC.

Anyone know the name of Huff's agent?

Isn't it funny how fan bases never like their coaches as much as others?

Just cross your fingers they manage to dupe Duke into hiring the guy,

We need to hire a successful lower division coach that will later be hired awy by much brighter people than Duke may have.

[miltonherdfan]

makes you wonder if the rest of the country sees 22-16 at marshall as having done a pretty decent job nowadays?  you know, since we've only won whatever G5 conference we've been in once in the past 21 yrs & don't exactly "play for championships" anymore.

it certainly doesn't live up to my expectations, but to those not wearing green-colored glasses, maybe .579 at a mediocre G5 is considered worthy of consideration by mediocre P5s?  like him or not, he's not responsible for abandoning the championship tradition of our program...that ship set sail long before he got here.  he may be perceived by others as "doing about all you could expect someone to do" at marshall?

Many off us believe Marshall should hire coaches from a lower level who have excelled at their level.  I would think Duke would want the same.  22-16 is not what I would call excelling.  Also I would think that year over year improvement would be high on the list of what is wanted, Huff shows just the opposite.

Duke clearly has better options; I think they would be foolish to hire Huff and this is probably just another case of the board allowing itself to believe what it wants to believe rather than seeing the reality of a situation. Duke would be foolish to hire Huff, we took a chance on an unknown quality, he has amassed a record here that shows he is not ready for the job of head coach yet, if ever.

If, for whatever reason, Huff does leave, would our administration really look at the FCS ranks for an experienced, dynamic coach wanting to move up? I ask because it seems most of the fan base has said this before/during the last three hires but we still kinda do the Marshall thing and get who we get.

If they offer him job at Duke he should run just like our two transfer portal basketball players. If things don't work out for him on field at least he can walk across campus and see some good basketball.

Saw there may be a sleeper team looking at Huff.  Jobs are filling up.  Duke and Indiana still open.  Other than that, lateral move or below or possibly could leave to join a P5 as an assistant.  Strange things going on down in the Shewey.
