Chocking Charlie Now Owns Two of the Most Embarrassing Choke Jobs in Herd History

I love Marshall University and our athletic program, therefore, I have been tolerant of Coach Huff, trying to give him the benefit of a doubt and let him have his shot. After tonight, I'm done! No excuses for this loss...it is 100% on the head coach. There are too many mistakes for me to list here and all of them fall on Huff's shoulders! In my opinion, he should not even be allowed back on campus!
 
Well, we have the Akron game, the Kansas State game, the wvu game, the ECU game and now, the Ga So game. Is this the worst? If you take the opponent out of it, probably because if we would have simply taken a knee on our last two possessions before they took the lead we would have won. All we had to do was fall down six times in a row, and we couldn’t even do that.

At least the wvu game was against really good players. Tonight? Not so much.

Changing the subject slightly, but not sure why K-State 05 always ends up on these lists.

That was a back and forth game. Yeah, we really should have gotten a FG attempt, but it was no chip shot and Ian O’Conner wasn’t automatic from anywhere.
 
1. UCF down in Orlando in (2009), (Synder)
2. West Virginia (2010), (Doc)
3. Southern Miss at home (2017), (Doc)
4. Middle Tennessee (2013), (Doc)
5. Troy (2022), (Huff)
6. East Carolina (2021), (Huff)
7. Georgia Southern (2024), (Huff)

You are forgetting this one:




2 hours: 54 min +
 
With all respect, G5 (now G6) teams are not supposed to beat P5 (now P4) teams. Even backmarker fieldfillers like WVU or K-State. The other games on this list, the G5 ones, are all teams on our level or even slightly above. While these results were choke jobs, they were "greatest thing that almost happened" type deals.

This is different.

This is GEORGIA SOUTHERN. A perennial resident of Ryan McGee's "ESPN Bottom 10". A program with Z E R O I-A history. A program that never should have left I-AA. A program, along with its fellow GSU, everyone should circle every year as the free spot. Losing AT ALL to this crew is failure.

Losing like this is the worst choke job in MU history.
 
Huff needed to be left at the airport in Ga and given a bus ticket back to Htgn. Give time to have his office cleaned out and delivered to his home before he got back.

Marshall vs. Akron 2004, the beginning of our demise. After starting the season 0-3 (Troy, Ohio State, UGA) we go on a five game winning streak heading into Akron. With 4 minutes 42 seconds left, Ian O'Conner misses a chip shot FG that would have put us up by 17. In the next 4 minutes 30 seconds Akron scores 17 points to win 31-28. We go on to get blown out by Bowling Green and embarrassed by Cincy in a bowl game to finish 6-6.

I hate you for bringing that up. Just so you know!

He’s not terrible, he’s incredibly mediocre, like dead center top of the bell curve mediocre, his picture in the dictionary next to mediocre- mediocre.

USM has a terrible head coach, we have a mediocre head coach.

Well having a 9 game road losing streak that is now over a year old pretty bad.

These guys know what can/could happen when they go into coaching. It's hard to feel bad for them when they make the money they do, hop from one job to the next without blinking. Hell, Doc, DD, Huff, etc. are all millionaires. They aren't suffering. Loyalty between a coach and school are a thing of the past. It's all about money and me getting mine.
