HUNTINGTON – When Dave Dunn was hired as Marshall’s newest assistant football coach nearly three weeks ago, his decision was swift. But that isn’t to say it was made in haste.
A part of it was he just wanted to really coach football again.
Dunn had been an NCAA Division III head coach for 11 seasons, the last 10 of those at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. But when Herd Coach Doc Holliday phoned, offering him the Marshall tight ends job, Dunn gave up being the boss.
“It’s almost like it’s a two-sided thing,” Dunn said recently in his Shewey Building office.
