More than a dozen times, I’ve seen morons on here claim that Huff doesn’t have the connections in the industry to hire quality assistant coaches. Of all the dumb things said on here, that may be the dumbest.
The guy has coached at Penn State, Alabama, Mississippi State, Vandy, Western Michigan, two FCS schools, and in the NFL. You don’t think the guy knows a coach or two? You’re fools.
The coaching world isn’t usually about hiring people you know directly. It’s about hiring somebody who knows somebody you trust. And in that case, Huff has some of the biggest resources in the industry.
Do you know what the problem is? It’s Marshall. It’s in a shit town in a shit state. If you are a coach with children, try telling your wife that you’re going to move to a place with a shitty public education system in a town she will despise for barely enough money to pay the electricity bill.
Do you see what we pay assistants? Go look at Chevis Jackson’s salary. Look at what Shannon Morrison made. Go look at Telly Lockett’s salary. Check out Ralph’s salary. It’s shit pay for FBS coaches.
The issue isn’t that Huff doesn’t have more than enough connections. It’s that we have the pay and other important factors to only afford retreads from other schools or unestablished coaches.
