well Huff has his 3 wins look for extension coming soon
- Thread starter sluggo72
- Start date
Because he's a Spears hater and he just wants him to look bad
Ive said if Huff wins 3 games, there is no way they would fire/not rehire him. Ball is in his court now.
That's just stupid. So if he goes 3-9 you think that's enough to get an extension lol. Good luck selling that.
I do, I dont think the powers that be would fire/not rehire him they dont have the nerve
As for me, I like Huff. As much as I loved Bob Pruett and felt ok about Holiday, they would be lost in the current football landscape.
I keep telling you guys he will be back with at least a one year extension. We will win at least 4 more games as a minimum. Before the season I had no idea what the potential of this team would be with a new OC and so many portal players. After 5 games I think we are better than I thought and that makes me a happy camper. I do think that year 5 will determine if he stays long term

Bold prediction, and this is just a gut feeling: we finish 8-4 Huff leaves and they promote Seth Doege.
I really hate to have to do this, but I have heard some really bad feedback on Spears over the past few weeks from people that would definitely know. I wouldn’t expect him to be here too much longer. Huff will likely outlast him.
sluggo72 will be there to help him pack up his office. Sam will volunteer to drive him to Tri State!
He and Smith looked chummy during the homecoming festivities. Are they the same sources that someone on here was referring to when the claim was made... "Huff will be let go after the OH St loss, because he's misusing AD funds"?
And the AD.
This is basically a swipe at Spears.
You really need to find a new outlet for energy.
New theory, Sluggo is the old track coach that got fired
Not really. Sluggo posted an, IMHO, well thought out and reasonable opinion. We Are Marshall....we play for 5th place. It really is that simple. Where I disagree is that CH has some backup plan. Now, when he is eventually fired, yes, he will take his millions, or at least hundreds of thousands, and be reabsorbed into the SEC buddy-buddy career assistant community from whence he came, but nobody is going to give up being the head man and being paid that much money (and, yes, I realize if he was all that good he could make similar money as an SEC assistant, but he isn't) to be a position coach. He will stay on this gig and spend our money as long as they let him.
It is clear, out of CS's own mouth that 6-6 is somehow unacceptable, yet accepted. Is 5-7? 4-8? 3-9? Don't know, but I think it is. And there are, considering the lucky draw we got from the western division opponents we play, more wins to come. I said 6-6 and I still think 6-6. Which we know is acceptable to CS.
I do take exception that somehow it is a comeback to say Sluggo, or me or anyone, is a "CS hater" and "wants to make him look bad". No. Those of us who understand rightly criticize CS for his multiple failures. He looks bad without any help for the non-sycophant demanding better, wanting to win, Herd fan commuity, all on his own.
no Spears has nothing to do this, it is Brad Smith call to make. The HFC answers to the President, and has since at least the BP days. Spears job is to make sure they have enough paper in the copy machines to print the game plan.
How many times have you cut and pasted this as a "response" in a thread? Try some new material, or at least make a post acknowledging the team's solid effort the last 2 weeks. We know you cant, because Marshall isn't for you.
It’s from people that routinely interact with him in a professional capacity, people that I fully trust and have long relationships with.
He isn't here anymore...didn't win like he should have.
Underachieving. Fired. Not there. You're still holding a grudge.
Except CS never mentioned any of that when he fired him.
He actually out coached his resources. Tough to field a team without a field or a track
Sam has been silent tonight. He must be watching New Mex. St. getting beat up by Rich Fraud's Jax State team.
I don't think so. We were paying players $25 an hour back in the 90's and early 2000's. I think a guy like Pruett would thrive in it. He knew how to work the crowd and could go get money. I think he would do well with it.
It's very different now. If a player has a bad day and practice, they can opt out and leave. They aren't committed to really anything (coaches aren't either, let's be clear) and are driven by the pursuit of money.
Yup. Pruett and Donnan both were "creative" in their recruiting. All NIL has done is make what's always been going on legal, increase the amount of money thrown around, and the 1 yr or drop down transfer rule is lifted.
I don't think Doc would have been "lost" either. I mean some people act like recruiting the portal is some new thing that no one old school coach could use. Doc wsa keeping tabs on players suspended from football and waiting for them to be eligible again. Guys like DJ Hunter.
No the only issue that Pruett and Doc would have faced is the same as most G5s face. Finding enough money to keep players or get the good players.
Maybe it will all settle down in a few years when all these companies and rich donors see that the ROI on their money is absolutely horrible. Look at the money that Texas A&M has thrown around and look at where they are. Just because you can buy the players, doesn't mean you can coach the players.
If I were looking to tip the scales for my team I wouldn't be offering the "next big thing" recruit 7 figures. I'd be going to the top coach in the country and ask him what his price would be to coach my school.
