Topic: Rumor: Huff resigning

[Herd72]

IMHO He will be here as long as he wants to be. No university will fire a minority coach in this day and age. I guarantee there would be cries of racism and protests. I just want a good coach if any ethnicity to field an exciting brand of football. I am an old man and want to see another great Herd team before my time is up.

That is an utterly insane and factually wrong thing to say. The following minority FBS coaches were fired just in the last 2 years:

Mel Tucker
Andy Avalos
Dino Babers
Danny Gonzales
Herm Edwards
Karl Dorrell
Willie Taggart
David Shaw
Marcus Arroyo
Ken Niumatalolo

I doubt there was one protest saying any of these people were fired because of their race.

You are so wrong. But if some people did say that after a coach gets worse every year and talks down the fans and school along with the community then you tell them to pound sand and move on anyway.

Just posted by Herd Equipment. I think that settles that, until at least after the bowl game. No way his name tag was just in there ?by chance?.

This is definitely the clarifying "statement" we've been waiting for from someone official.  He's going nowhere for at least 12 months.

While it is possible they either wait until the bowl game or it?s even possible the department doesn?t know yet. Maybe the Equipment Manager did it themselves. But I agree it?s likely he?s staying.

I really think this time, Spears/Brad Smith, are underestimating how done 85% of the fanbase is completely done with Huff.  We all make mistakes but he has done this a couple of times.  He doesn't like MU or Huntington.

Get him out of here.

And yet if he starts 4-0 next year the fans will be clamoring about an undefeated season and all will be forgotten.

Nope. He won't start 4-0, maybe 1-3. And we'll never go undefeated again.

In the future, please refrain from confronting old white man rants with actual facts thank you.

I may be in the minority but I feel worse today than Wednesday.  I love MU and have a great heritage with the school and I don't want to pay a guy almost a million dollars a year to put down my school.

I just can't let this go.  I will cheer for the players but will not forgive Huff.  MU may not be for everyone but we are paying him almost a million dollars to promote our school and win games.

Well that would an include a win at Ohio State so, um, probably, lol. But based off recent trends, we'd go on to finish 7-5 and 5th in the SBC East.

Wow. That's odd.

Could be resolved after the bowl.

I know, it sounds crazy. I thought so too.

If this is true, it's absolutely insane we're making the same mistake two coaches in a row. Almost every other program (if not literally every one of them?) fires their coach within a day or two after the regular season if they're gonna do it.

Waiting the extra two or three weeks puts you at such a disadvantage in recruiting and finding a new coach. Even non-playoff NY6 bowls aren't taken seriously by most teams so why should we put ourselves behind the eight ball just to maybe have a marginally better chance to win the the damn Coffee Bowl?

The new administration is just as bad as the last one when it comes to a crippling fear of just ripping the bandaid off. But at this point, I guess better late than never because the fan revolt is going to be ugly beyond belief if the Marshall beater stays.

What did this tweet say?

[herdinphilly]

Huff is not getting fired over that comment. Get real.

But he needs fired over his performance. But they'll give him at least one more year to right the ship.

[MarshallSteve]

What did this tweet say?

Didn't really say anything specific. Basically showed the bowl patches the team would be wearing on their jerseys, and sitting next to that was an all access pass with coach Huff's name on it.

If we lay a big "egg" in the Bowl and undergo a total thrashing, it's going to be a very, very tenuous sports atmosphere around the MU campus this Spring, especially if our other revenue sports team has a season long disaster and continues its disastrous start with more of the same right on into March.

Will be a lot of "walking on eggshells" among MU administrators, etc., and not just in the Athletic Department.  Even more so, IMO, there will be increased and smoldering rumbles among and across Herd Nation in all segments, some surely on the verge of erupting and exploding!!

[ed swain]

After the rumor some of were real excited.The let down has many of us depressed and hopeless for next season!

Not much new in what Chuck Landon wrote but at least he did let the public know it's been a mess around the Shewey building.  From the Herald-Dispatch:  https://www.herald-dispatch.com/sports/chuck-landon-mu-football-wracked-with-turmoil/article_d7129157-e4d4-51d0-8d92-f2b5642e05aa.html

Exactly.  Silly comment.

What is Chuck?s weird obsession with riding for Bill Legg? This is like the 3rd column in two weeks he?s complained about his firing. Anyone with eyes could see the offensive line was easily the worst unit on this team.  I know this observation is off topic to this thread, but he needs to give it a rest. Firing Legg is a top 5 coaching move Huff made all year.

[ThunderValley]

Chuck told it like it is. Although I disagree about Legg

Clearly Landon and Legg are friends

Legg did a horrible job w the O line

[whf]

I know I am an outlier on Legg, have been for a long time.  I believe he has been a dedicated and
employee of the football program for a long time, off and on, selecting to serve Marshall and its fans with the best he has/had.  And, for the most part, I think that was more than sufficient. 

And Morrison, although the LBs had havoc during a three game period when the new guys were all cast in, our linebacker play has been tremendous for a couple years.
