It's HUFF!

I haven't seen this much excitement concerning Herd football in about 10 years 🙂👍
I'm sure he's gone within 3 years, on to a P5 school. It's still exciting and uplifting.
Hoping he can bring in a couple big recruits. I know he won't poach any from Alabama, but a couple more highly regarded guys would be huge.

I wonder about that....the 3rd stringers at Bama have to be pretty good players....come here and get immediate playing time! Is that gonna happen...I doubt it. Oh, but what if!!!
I hope he can bring in a big bull of a running back, someone to get that 3rd and 2 or 3 situation w/ ease...
I was thinking the same thing.We will probably get season tickets for the first time since 2016
I wonder how season ticket sales this year will compare to the past few years...
The Atlantic article said “Marshall was all in to hire Huff”. After hearing about the hiring activity, it didn’t sound that way to me.
I would expect a bump for a few reasons. 1. We are coming off a pandemic (hopefully) and people will want to get out and do things, tailgate, etc. 2. Anytime you have a new head coach that the fan base is excited for you’re going to get some people to “come back” 3. Doc was boring. Yes, he won a lot of games here but it was boring outside of the Cato years. I remember sitting there in 2016 at the last game as WKU hung 60 on us, and promising my fiancé we weren’t getting season tickets again until something changes. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Aout 20 of my closest friends and I stayed for the second half of that game. We were spread out over the entire stadium...😥
I think two years later only those 20 fans showed up for the FIU game after the Charlotte loss the week before, but that was at the START of the game. I think I have pictures of both games. I'll try to find them.
Like you so many have refused to come back after those games and a few others and I understand that.
PS - there were actually more than 20, but it was a ghost town both games...
oh absolutely, we stayed for the second half but left during the 4th quarter I think. I remember how cold it was. I’ve been to several games since then when my schedule has allowed... but wasn’t going to make the investment of season tickets
Understand. Those two games stand out, moreso with the FIU game because the stands were deserted in the 1st quarter and not the 4th. Here's to a new start 🙂👍
Holliday lost the fans that year, and four years later, it cost him his job. He wasn't popular with the fans, not enough to let him keep it.
Absolutely. Nor did he try to be engaging or popular with the fans. I really did try to give him the benefit of the doubt, probably for too long.
People will abide the widest, nastiest @ssholes so long as they deliver the hot, steaming goods.
I was hoping...political correctness and all the other stuff going on...one never knows!!
Exactly Twolf! I’m thinking $7.5 million.....isn’t that what we have to pay to get out of this shit/hole of a conference??
I found this video of Coach Huff on YouTube (when he was at Miss State).
Here is what Saban had to say about Coach Huff yesterday...
"We couldn't be any happier for Charles and his family. He has done an excellent job for us, and we are pleased and happy to see him get the well-deserved opportunity to run his program. We always want our coaches to grow and advance in the profession and Charles has worked very hard to earn this opportunity. We truly appreciate all that he has done to contribute to the success we've had at Alabama and wish him the best at Marshall."

I hope all the bandwagoners come back and we have record season ticket sales.
The Committee seemed to be split on who to hire. The decision was not unanimous and Gilbert made the decision. This is what I have been reading on this board.
I don't know how anyone could look at the list of candidates, their resumes, and not regard hiring Huff as the best option... Makes me think there may have been some personal agendas on the committee. If that is the case, good for Gilbert for stepping up and making a leadership decision.
