Marshall's Doc Holliday Will Not Return as Head Coach in 2021

Marshall head coach Doc Holliday will not return to the school next season. He spent the past 11 years with the program.

Holliday tweeted that university president Jerry Gilbert informed him that his contract, which is set to expire in June, would not be renewed.

According to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel, the decision to move on from Holliday came from above athletic director Mike Hamrick’s domain and was orchestrated by the school's board and West Virginia governor Jim Justice.

"As the head football coach for Marshall, I've always strived to build and leave the program better than I found it," Holliday wrote on Twitter.
