On Sunday, Marshall University announced the head football coach position will go to former Alabama University coach, Charles Huff. He joins the Herd a week after helping lead the Alabama Crimson Tide to a national championship victory over Ohio State.
The news broke online yesterday, and the university made it official today. Huff is slated to become the 31st head coach in Marshall football history and is coming to Huntington with his wife Jessica and his son Bobby.
“We believe Coach Huff will build upon the proud and rich tradition of Thundering Herd football and elevate the program to new heights,” Athletic Director Mike Hamrick said.
