Mistake #1: Firing all of Doc/Lambert's defensive staff
Mistake #2: Retaining Cramsey
Then you can rank the bad hires thereafter. This is just another head scratcher. Where is @riflearm2 when you need a post season staff breakdown.
WTF does “trust the process” and “close the gap” as hashtags mean?
What “process” are we asked to “trust”? Endless confusion? A quest for mediocrity?
But, more than that, what “gap”? Facilities? Top tier for G5. Talent? Plenty here. Fanbase? Great. University support? There.
What “gap”? The only one I can think of is a coaching staff that can beat teams with winning records.

No different than when Doc used to say, "We just can't flinch" all the time. Fact is football coaches are walking clichés.
As to "closing the gap" when he took the job he swore it wasn't a rebuild. That we just needed to close the gap. i.e. the team had just made the conference title game and we just needed to do a little more to win the conference. Then he proceeded to take us backwards.
It means, "You're a loser Sammy. Go cheer for NM St".
He was being nice. Sure. We had some talent, but it wasn't his system with the players he wanted. He literally told everyone throughout the fall and after the first game things were not exactly what he wanted. Execution was a going to be problem if things didn't get straightened out. Some didn't want to hear it.
With that said. I'm not enthused by Trickett's promotion. But, how bad can the offense play calling be at this point. I'll give him a year to see how the offense progresses.
Was he "bringing" the offensive play calling this season? I thought that was Cramsey's job.
You Doc lovers need to just get over it and realize Huff is Head Coach and nothing you say will change that fact. If you don't like it, stay home. I for one will show up and cheer The Herd.
Huff is going to do what he thinks is best. This is his future also.

Doc lovers lol. Just because you question Huff doesn't mean you love or even miss Doc. You can't provide any proof that Huff is or will be a good coach or his decision have been correct so you rely on taking shots at those questioning his hires.
I really like the hire and believe it is a great elevation for Tricket, and probably the only way to have kept him here. With his experience at the top level of D1 football behind the OL himself, with great experience under other some really good D1 coaches, and with the continuing support (I sure hope) of Bill Legg scheme and understanding wise, he is a super pick IMHO.
He’s had the play calling job before and got fired after one season with a year left on his contract.
Did anyone really think it was going to be someone other than trickett?
I wouldn’t put much stock in that. It seems that Willie Taggart changes OC more often than his underwear
FAU football: Former offensive coordinator Michael Johnson leaves for Syracuse
Johnson was the Owls' offensive coordinator last season, replacing Clint Trickett and calling plays for the FAU offense.

Really, we hire Trickett, The WR coach? The Wide Receiver group that, when had a good ball thrown to them, dropped a lot of passes. Some believe Trickett should be fired also, and I agree
Thank you Huff for really reaching into the bag of “tricks” and pulling out a the most laziest move that a coach could do. You might think you searched to the ends of the earth for the absolute best man for the job, but I do feel you made a lazy move and lost some credit with me.
I guess when you wanna hire Bill Legg and know your job would be at risk, you hire the nobody to “trick” everyone.
Way to excite the fan base bub…

All things considering, Trickett is the right decision here. He was a former OC/QB at FAU and played QB at FSU & WVU. I always thought he was out of position as the WR coach. Based on Marshall's Cramsey salary at $200k, we probably had some limitations on how much we could spend here. Easier to hire a WR coach on that $. I can see Legg being used to support/help Trickett.

I thought the same thing about Trickett... He was not in the right spot as WR coach. I would be more comfortable if he was simply moved to be the QB coach and we hired an outside OC who also knew how to coach WR's, but if Trickett is Huff's guy, then so be it... I will note it was important to keep Trickett around for recruiting purposes.
100%.
DH is gone.
In discussions of the 21 season, and now the 22 off-season, we are discussing CH. Underperformance, mediocrity, confusion, meaningless slogans, and, now, a hard to explain hire.
In discussions of the future, you are correct. The is no proof whatsoever that CH can reverse course and learn from his first year and have a successful era at MU. He certainly might, and we all hope he does, but a quasi-religious faith that it is just somehow supposed to happen is childish and idiocy. Idiocy, in fact, to the WVU fan level.
100% correct. All this “But Doc…” fixation is getting old. Invading not only the needed discussion of football, and of the current football coach, but, fantastically, invading basketball discussions.
Current football coach: CH. Lets discuss him and his program.
Current basketball coach: DD. Hopefully gone March 7th.
The fact you want someone fired after only being in 1 position at MU since 2021 negates any credibility your post may contain (and it really doesn't have any to begin with).
Sad thing is, you'll bring up Doc when MU loses a game, or Huff makes a mistake...and say they fixate.
I have on occasion but you just can't help yourself any chance you get.
I have never mentioned DH in the first instance in ANY thread about our miserable past football season. Certainly never in BASKETBALL, which is apparently a thing now. Only tried to discuss CH, the coach. The mediocrity, the inability to beat teams with a pulse, the confusion, the meaningless slogans, the phony bravado, etc. NEVER. The fixated ones are not me. (And you cannot provide a link to any thread that will contradict what I just said, because they do not exist).
Glad to “move on” from DH. Pretty simple. When the subject is CH, or, fantastically, DD, then that person, and that person alone, is the subject. Move on.
Sammy is a hypocrite. That's all any fan needs to know.
You ought to look up big words mean before you use them. “Hypocrite” does not mean “mean man who says things that are true, but I wish were not”
Just want to discuss CH. This particular thread is on this, IMHO, difficult to explain, hire.
CH. No one else.
We're doomed! Drop football. Put all the money into beach volleyball.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised Sammy considers “hypocrite” a “big word”.
To love or hate Doc does not mean you can not back Huff.We do not need us fighting ourselves.We need to fill the Joan and we all need to come together to do so.
1 year coaches get canned very often, The wide receivers did a lot of things badly last season, yes our QB sucked but we did dropa lot of passes, we ran wrong routes and so on. Maybe this was all because no one cared and no one really has having fun, IDK. But for a New head coach to simply pick a unproven guy for a Position that we very badly need is a lazy ass move.. and besides that Trickett never proved himself worth keeping… fire the whole offensive staff from last season!!! They all sucked!
Huff should have hired the janitor before Trickett, at least it would have been a name we never heard and we could be somewhat happy that he actually did some homework and found the next best thing.. really hope he proves me wrong but I feel like we will be talking about this same crap in 1-2-3 years…
"Trust the Process". Have to ask. Is that a take-off on WVU Head Coach Brown's "Trust the Climb" mantra? Right now, his EER program is climbing DOWN to the nether regions of the Big 12 cellar!! Let's hope the Herd football journey is going in the OPPOSITE direction!!
I feel like trust the process became a thing when Philly got Joel Embiid. They used that slogan for his first 5 years while building around him. It’s a popular slogan for coaches everywhere. Do you expect them to come out and say, “well, we are looking at different things, don’t quit on us now, we hope our plan works out, etc”. He’s trying to get people to buy in to his vision.
we have a tough few years ahead of us in the SBC, it’s not going to be easy, but there isn’t any reason we should fall into the bottom of the conference.
"Trust the process" is simple buzzword garbage meant to appease fan bases and make it seem like leadership has a plan in place to build sustained success. The 76ers coined it in the sports world.
The ironic thing is, most people in leadership positions in the real world hate jargon and buzzwords... Walk in to my office and start using words like "synergy," "cohesion," "forward thinking," "outside the box," etc and Im going to assume you are just talking to hear yourself talk.

Agree. Sounds like a lot of "consultants" when they speak. I never put much value or credibility in a consultant. Fancy term for someone who thinks they know it all but usually can't keep a solid job.
Most anyone that IS successful has a process. You want to know why some coaches can go anywhere and be winners? It’s because they have a process and follow it. Regardless. Saban has a process. Belichek has a process. Reed has a process. Successful CEOs have a process. Brad Smith has a process. Warren Buffett has a process. Jack Welch had a process.
Buzzwords are words that people don’t live by. Don’t practice daily. Most don’t have a daily practice or habit which builds their success over a long term. Average people don’t understand this concept.

Agree. But slogans like this are used, in sports, business, or politics, when the results aren’t there. Trust the Process. Stay the Course. LIght at the End of the Tunnel. The Journey of 1000 Miles Begins with One Step. Go Forward and Never Look Back.
Things people with out results to point to say.
