Excellent. Agree. Nobody is calling for CH to be fired. But this season was a failure. Talk about moving to a higher level is imbecilic. Talk, EVIDENCE FREE, that “the future is bright” is just childish.
I hear people say this but he inherited a team with 24 seniors. Almost every sports rag picked us to win the east and contend for the title. The same guys, minus 3-4 who graduated ,
I specifically linked to what you said. Here...I'll do it again so you understand why I believe that. It was a stupid uninformed comment.
Please dont pretend you support the coach now. You'll give a guy 4 years but question his commitment and ability year 1? Yes. This makes you one of those fans who doesn't exactly use a brain cell when evaluating what the state of the program really was.
How many of those "seniors" actually contributed on the field with high performance?
So you want the program run the exact same way it was done the last couple of years?
Excuses.
Excuses.
Excuses.
Considering he was out job hunting from game seven on, I don’t believe a four year time table is realistic win or lose.
No. Huff is doing some things that I believe will help us reach our goal of winning a conference championship more than once every ten years. . I am just saying that the talent level was not the problem. We had essentially the same players.For example Wells was still here. Ali took over for Knox and we didn't miss a beat. Maybe it is all about culture and it is going to take more than one year to change that, I don't know. But blaming this year on a lack of talent is the wrong villain IMO.
It’s true we didn’t lose much from last year in terms of numbers, but most teams didn’t. If you look at who we lost, that’s the problem. We lost our top 2 offensive linemen, our best DE, our best LB and top tackler, our #1 RB (who would have paired much better with Ali, little to no drop off), our best corner (people forget that McClain-Sapp was pretty good last year).
When someone actually wants to analyze CH fairly I’ll have the conversation. Pointing to journalist predictions, point spreads and reading your failed attempts to “analyze” don’t count.
Loser language. We are not for you.
So my winning percentage calculation is off??? No-Fact. He wasn't looking for jobs after a mediocre season? Yes he was- Fact.
No he wasn’t
He did? Really????? I remember after the Navy win his telling the fan base not to get their hopes up and we had a very long way to go to become champions. This team wasn’t ready.
Then why get super concerned by a new coach with less than one year in the position.
This isn’t supporting the coach. It is an amazingly uninformed irrational post.
Listen, in the real world you can be critical of someone and still have their back. We can agree to disagree, but everything I said is true and I do support coach Huff.
Of course you do. You and the Amen Chorus poster have different definitions of “support”. Like other adults, you understand that “support” and “blind syncophantic worship” are different things. In the real world, of course, the adult majority of Herd fans support CH and hope he can reverse his mistakes from Year One. The Amen Chorus does not have the capacity to understand this simple adult concept. In their world ANY criticism of CH, or any doubt of the golden future that CH will bring, such as asking “why believe such a thing?”are “attacks” and “ not supporting the coach”.
I actually agree with you on this Sam. I want nothing more than to win. Whoever is head man should be able to be critiqued. It's nothing personal and doesn't mean that I do not support him.
So you admit you were just being stupid when rambling about Huff "looking for other jobs" instead of coaching the program?
Lol, I'm not stupid, but you sir are very dense. I wasn't rambling about Huff, so please explain to me how interviewing at 2 different jobs while being on a job less than a year is not looking for other jobs. Tell me what about that statement is false or untrue? You also do not know if Huff was 100% focused or not while perusing other opportunities. Not once have I said that Huff is doing things the wrong way and am praying Huff is the answer. I'm not a D1 coach or privy to the day to day workings of our program. So the only thing I can judge is the results and actions of our Coach. Based on the information that is available to us, I believe his first year is a failure. That is my opinion, and you have yours. I personally have had enough of your childish name calling and you are an imbecilic and the best part of you ran down your mother's leg.
Quite talking in circles:
First you're critical, then you're not, then you are, then you're not...which is it?
Its untrue. What else do you need to know.
So you dont know what is going on behind the scenes?? Shocking.
😂 A lot to unpack with this one. I just laugh at you instead.
MUMAN3419 if that came from anybody other than San I would agree with you. I’m not sure if you knew but Sam has spent the last several years slamming anybody who critiqued our previous coach. He said we were awful fans and should be appreciative that we even have a team, that CUSA is a football conference and everybody tries in football which I’m still not sure what that means. 7-5 or 8-4 seasons where we play the in the 100s ranked schedule should be applauded and anybody who says otherwise Marshall football isn’t for you.
Fair enough. I do not usually post over here and not completely up to date on all the cliches/personalities. Some people have an agenda. I just wanted to give my view and gave some fact's on why I felt that way. But you can't make everyone happy, and some people won't take someone else's take. I gave my take on a season I thought was an overall failure and if hurt some people's sensibilities then so be it. Go Herd!
lol sorry that MU has an NFL caliber player who does what he's supposed to, runs the ball into the endzone...sorry that MU's offense didn't hold onto the ball very long because the OL made gaps and Ali sliced their defense.
lot of truth in what you just said. Cramsey and Legg are bout what you get for the money unless you find an under the radar guy.
Yes you guys are right. But like you posted, there are great young minds out there. But you have to get lucky or at least know what your looking for.
Except Wells numbers improved from 2020. His completion % went from 61 to 66. Ali actually had better numbers than Knox. Ali averaged 5.6 yards per carry to Knox who was at 4.8. Guess who was our best receiver last year? If you said Gammage you would be correct . He had 878 this year and 409 last year. As far as OL goes, yes, we lost a couple really good linemen. But The replacements did a solid job as the numbers bare out IMO. Same way on defense. Hodge was a fantastic player with 6 sacks last year however Beauplan had 5. The total sacks on defense last year was 25 this year it was 40. Of course we played 3 extra games, but I don't see the huge fall off you claim . So I say the tires are still on the car we are still dealing with the same attitudes .
I still don't even know if actual talent is the issue. There are players up and down this roster that we were downright giddy to land. We have one of the best RBs in the nation on top of it.
Cramsey had some brilliant play calling in that series. LOL!
I don't understand what question you're even asking or what scenario you're asking us to parse out here.
71 to 208 is roughly 3x. 91 to 244 is roughly 3x. Those are the comparisons.
I don't think you can change the culture in less than 1 year. The 2022 season should show progress.
