Coach Huff

He’s like the honest Mullen

 

[dawgstudent]

Commit to me. Not the school.

 

[patdog]

Yep. All those Marshall guys weren’t committed to the school. Or the South Florida guys from last year. Just the way it is now.

 

[Shmuley]

Commit to me. Not the school.

Wonder if that would work on Taylor?

 

[HotMop]

Come to State.

 

[downwarddawg]

Not at all.

 

[She Mate Me]

I have a strong feeling that his next step up will be where the Peter Principle kicks in and he finds the level at which he is no longer competent.

I sure hope that’s not at Mississippi State.

 

[NorrisFByrd]

I like how straight he is with recruits, that honesty is rare and players seem to respond to it. The question for State is whether that works at this level, with the SEC schedule and the portal pressure every winter. He did a lot with less at Memphis, and I would rather take a chance on a coach who can recruit than on another safe name who cannot.

Who are you referring to that is safe but doesn’t croot?

 

[411dawg]

If I am an AD that just disqualified him from my hot list. What a dumb thing to say out loud even if it is 100% true. He admits some much about his character. Why would I want someone that is going to always be looking to move, and then cripple the program when he does. Not only that if I am. power 4 program, why do I want him to bring his Memphis recruits to fill out my roster.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I’d much rather have a coach who doesn’t recruit or win but will be committed to my favorite school long term.

I mean it’s kind of like working for the government, get promoted to a level above your competence and coast. Except in the college coaching world reach the level where you sign a big buyout with one of the big boys and you’re golden. Not saying Huff isn’t driven to be one of the elite but it applies to some. Imagine being a failure like Norvell, Kelly, or Jimbo….oh the horror.

 

[El Perro Grande]

It's poor judgement saying it out loud at a University podium, but who expects a successful coach to never leave Memphis for bigger things? Everyone is getting paid. Everyone is an employee. What's noble about never changing jobs? How many posters here would pledge blind allegiance to their employer at the expense of advancing their career.

 

[Bulldawg77]

He’s in my top 5 but not top three

 

[PBRME]

Not only is he telling the school I’ll drop you like a bad habit. He’s also saying I’m taking the talent with me. It’s my only complaint against going after him when someone brings him up. We could be going through this again next year with a depleted roster.

 

[Indndawg]

Eck, Candle, Bronco, Trailor, Vigen, Danielson, or Mack

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Diaz, Dickert, Eck, after that it's a **** show, Huff is so full of **** he stinks.

 

[ckDOG]

I like the confidence but what a stupid thing to say in public.

This is the new normal and the path to immediate success at the new school. Keep what's good where you're going, bring the best of what you have from the old school and fill in with portal. If we don't bring in a new coach with this mindset, we'll be in another prolonged rebuild. If it happens to us, we'll just poach from someone else. It's going to be a vicious cycle, as long as transfers are free.

time to extend lebbys contract

 

[tired]

You don't want him. Those of you who think you do, just have no clue & it shows.

 

[vhdawg]

Huff is running his coaching career like he's in Dynasty Mode on CFB 27.

 

[Drebin]

I have a strong feeling that his next step up will be where the Peter Principle kicks in and he finds the level at which he is no longer competent.

I sure hope that’s not at Mississippi State.

I think he's there now. A couple of ugly losses already at Memphis and they have looked bad in some wins too.

 

[Right_Field_Heckler]

I'm not sold on him. Now, he's probably better than Lebby...but I hope our aim is a little higher than that.

I don’t have a problem with him coming and bringing talent from another school. The problem I have is he’s shown he’ll leave after 1 year for a better opportunity. He even said it himself in that interview. Going through a coaching search 2 years in a row is a complete nightmare situation given what’s happened since Leach passed.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Memphis isn't loaded with talent their asses have struggled to win some games this year and lost to freaking Will Hall and a terrible Tulane. Huff is snake oil if there's ever been snake oil and I hope he goes and gets that Maryland job

 

[OG Goat Holder]

One thing he is not, is full of shlt, maybe to his detriment

That's the whole point of this thread, dubmass

Well, you're in the right place then.

 

[Allday.sixpack]

Do y’all think getting hired away is worse than getting fired away?
This man just made himself and his Agent more money.
And you know what, if you don’t wanna lose coaches to better jobs pay them more
But we’ve only been in that position one time.

It would be a disaster of a hire. It amazes me the number of people that think he would be a good coach here. Maybe our fanbase is "younger" than I realize. Older fellows like me....well experience teaches a lot. He's full of ****.

We (State fans) seem to really struggle w/ the fact that someone with no ties to MS would come in, build up the program, then take off for a school that can win a NC. At some point, we have to start accepting that reality.
