Legg is back...
- Thread starter MUCO68
- Start date
siap Marshall: In addition to the full defensive staff we previously reported, Charles Huff’s offensive staff will include Tim Cramsey (OC), Telly Lockette (RBs) and Bill Legg (TEs) per Bruce Feldman. Feldman adds that Jeremy Springer will serve as special teams coordinator.
Marshall: Sources tell FootballScoop Charles Huff plans to hire Eddy Morrissey as his new offensive line coach. Morrissey, has coached (or assisted with) the offensive line at Austin Peay, Mississippi State, Bryant, Princeton, Fordham and more.
I'd be interested to know what happened at Austin Peay...

I'd be interested to know what happened at Austin Peay...
The new coach let four guys go, including Morrissey. He should be one of the least of the concerns with the new hires. He has a working relationship with Legg, as does the new Director of Recruiting.
The STC and DC hires are absolutely mind-blowing.
according to this, he got out of town before he was let go....
Hudspeth was not the only Austin Peay football staff member to resign from his coaching position during that time.
Former Austin Peay offensive line coach Edward “Eddy” Morrissey left the program six days prior to Hudpeth’s suspension, while former running backs coach Craig Candeto submitted his resignation letter a week after Hudspeth’s exit.
Neither has returned phone calls to discuss their reason for resigning.
As long as Legg stays in that position with the tight ends I'm ok with that. Good lord he was a horrible play caller for us.
That all depends on the situation. This isn't madden. What I want to see out of Huff is no more taking the air out of the ball when you're up 10 or taking your foot off the gas in the 4th because you're friends with the opposing staff.
I want that Steve Spurrier mentality. It's our job to score and it's their job to stop us. At the very least if we're up big let the backups actually play instead of just handing the ball off. Like Urban Meyer once said. Those backups show up and practice just has hard as everyone else.
And that was part of Pruett's success...when were up he put ins the reserves and got some quality playing time and experience that paid off very nicely down the road!
I didn't see 'running up the score' in any of those posts...
That's the impression I got from the press conference and I hope we do it. I'm in no way against it.
Do not know how Legg will do under Huff but....

I'm not in favor of 'running up the score' but I DO believe in the philosophy that it's our job to score points and their job to prevent us from doing that. If they can't, and it's 35-7, let the reserves come in and PLAY, pass, trick plays, score, whatever to give them real game experience instead of just straight ahead blocking and dive plays. In reality, that actually BENEFITS the opponent as it provides good experience for them as well.
I hope Legg takes the job just so he can pay back Tommy Schuler and Cato for carrying him. All I remember are bubble screens and Cato scrambling after some busted pay by Legg and making it happen. didn’t mind Cramsey coming back cause at least you saw some new plays and attempts. Still trust Huff but this was an odd hire...Coach keeping everyone on the toes.
