    HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall head coach Doc Holliday announced Thursday that Mike Furrey has officially joined the Thundering Herd football staff as its wide receivers coach.

    Furrey, an eight-year NFL veteran at wide receiver/defensive back for St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins, comes to Huntington after two seasons as the head coach and offensive coordinator at Kentucky Christian University.

    “It is a pleasure to welcome Mike and his family to our program,” Holliday said. “He brings with him an outstanding resume, not only as a coach and a person, but also as someone who played at the game’s highest level for the length he did. Our wide receiver unit is in good hands.”

    At KCU, he took an 0-11 program and turned it into one that boasted a 7-4 record and a national ranking of No. 25 in NAIA Division I by the end of the 2012 season. He also coached the wide receivers and quarterbacks at KCU and raised and secured funds to build KCU’s turf field.

    0-11 to 7-4 in two years...............and they said it couldn't be done. Welcome, Mike. We can use your "turn things around now" kind of experience.
