fyi Charles Huff..

[Herdguy04]

I didn't say we'd make the playoff. I'm saying if we were sitting at 10-1 right now with our only loss being at Ohio State we would be in the conversation. Not necessarily in, but in the conversation.

But again, we decided Stone was the better option at Va Tech and we decided we'd just go back and forth and let the Ga Southern game slip away.

As I predicted in a prior thread...people will be upset MU is winning currently and will proclaim, "DUUUURRRR GEORGIA SOUTHERN!!!"

That was over a month ago...just let it go.

He kinda did outsmart everyone with App, he absolutely smoked them.

“I apologize to all of Herd Nation,” Huff said. “I didn’t do a good job as head coach of getting our guys to finish in the last 4 minutes of the game. I take extreme ownership of it. We’ve got to find a way to get our guys to hold on to the ball and finish out the game.”

Have they lost since then?
Yes or no...

Regardless of when he changed, he changed and committed to it, now MU is in a good position to win the East.

Cool, glad we sacrificed a winnable Va Tech win to outsmart a school that had to spend a week on the road because of a major storm. Good job coach.

You're missing the point. Glad he took the blame after the Ga Southern debacle. He should have. Doesn't change the things he has said in the past or the way he's acted as head coach.

You're maybe one of the most infuriating posters on this board man.

I made the statement that he cost us a chance at being in the playoff conversation. You challenged it and I defended it, at which point instead of actually defending your position you just say "I predicted you guys wouldn't let it go! duuuuur".

I think it's great we've had a good season. If we lose Saturday that Ga Southern game is extremely important. And a D1 coach making the mistakes he made in that game can't happen. You can't have your team that unprepared to finish a game.

Then look at the Coastal game where we did everything we could to make that game close at the end.

He cost us 1-2 wins at the beginning of the season that are very important right now. We have won games sense, and that is great. I think he is a mediocre coach who doesn't want to be here. And when mediocre people try telling you they don't want to work for you anymore you should listen.

 

[Herdguy04]

You're assuming that we actually want to. There have been rumors since the off season that Huff was never coming back. Those rumors got some credibility when his wife stepped down from her job.

As I had said in previous threads...MU is in the Catbird Seat this season.
I wasn't going to predict Huff's record, instead I was going to say what would happen if he had a good record vs. a bad one.

Huff is at the end of his contract, correct?

If he does poorly, he isn't retained, plain and simple and MU doesn't have to spend any money to buy him out. MU wins because no money spent and a bad coach is gone.

If he does well, he elevated his stock for other programs to pay him, the more success, the easier it is to get out.

MU by default, would offer an extension because they should...knowing they'll lose the bidding war to a P4.

Huff walks, MU has a good record and possible SBC championship appearance, maybe win, AND is a lucrative spot for a new head coach.
MU wins because Huff's improved stock is benefitted by MU as well.

This season, so far, has been as good a scenario as you could get.

"DURRRRR GEORGIA SOUTHERN!!!"

Let it go...MU hasn't lost in over a month.

He took responsibility for the loss...and he's actually acting like a head coach, NOW, and has made enough decisions to keep MU winning...

But you're the one going back to his past and what he has said, as some sort of critique of what he is...NOW?!

Who's got the ego problem again.

Well, y'all keep making references back to said game.
An absolute meltdown in the 4th quarter?
Absolutely, I agree. Frustrated the hell out of me.
Did I question the ability of the team after it? No doubt.
Do I look back at that game and use it as a reason to not think Huff has been better and actually matured in some way?
Hell no.

Especially since he hasn't lost since and no doubt MU had some bad schemes out there, but what matters is MU scored more points than the other team in the end.
As another poster said, the defense was not good, but the offense and Special Teams made up for it. That's a decent balance of depth there...and even the defense did well by causing fumbles...they just didn't go our way. It happens. Let it go. MU won.
I'll take an ugly win all day over a good looking loss...especially given what was at stake.

😂😂😂😂 "My wife cheated on me for years and constantly said she wanted a divorce but got cold feet and has been faithful for a few months! I'm not going to live in the past! She's being a good wife now!"


I'm very happy we're winning games, I'm just saying guy wants to leave we should let him leave. He's cost us games this year, we will be fine with our next head coach.

Dude I just reference that he cost us 2 games and that lowered the ceiling for this season. You are the one who asked what two games so that I would bring up the ga southern game and you could go on this preplanned stupid tirade. I was simply saying he hurt what the ceiling of this season is. You cannot deny that. It's great to look forward and I am, I hope we will the Sun Belt and dominate in a bowl. But to say "oh well it happened in the past" when evaluating a coach is extremely stupid and you know that.

Do you think he started the best QB on the roster to start the year?

No. I also don't think any QB on the roster wins @ VT or @ tOSU

 

[redsfan5590]

Va Tech was a winnable game. I don't know that Braxton gets it done but he gives us a better chance than Stone.

@OSU you're right, no QB we have was winning that game.
