Only Mountaineer fans would look at our 8 win season and say it was disappointing though.

Everyone outside of us thinks we had a great year. Since I live in the Cuse, I received nothing but atta boys Wednesday night when I was at a dinner meeting.

I’m like... ‘but, we lost...

And, every time... I was interrupted.

Cuse is a basketball school, 8 wins is like a natty to those people

8 more in good ol’ CUSA. Good enough for 2nd in their Division, 3rd in the Conference. Didn’t beat nor compete against a Power 5 this year but that could change against VT. Sold me. Bring Doc home.

I believe you meant to write that TB had ANOTHER rough season. TB’s best record in 7 years, 8 - 5. Next best, 7-7. Balance are all sub-500 for a 35-50 record to date.

Akron had back to back 1-11 seasons before TB got there, he went 1-11 then they haven't been that bad since.
Doc's record speaks for itself at that level and that place. He should have been offered a P5 job years ago.

Yet he hasn’t sniffed anything outside of Huntington. With all the turmoil every year in college football, this speaks volumes. He’s the Don Nehlen of Huntington except for Don wanted to stay at WVU and Doc will never be the man Don was.

Agree 100%, It does speak volumes, at just how out of touch alot of these presidents and AD’s really are when it comes to knowing how to better their programs.

Doc padded the resume today.

Marshall played a terrible VT team... and got shit stomped.

Maybe something is really rotten under that next layer of the onion. Not 1 team, except for Marshall, wants to peel that next layer.

I don't think doc would ever be the guy. He was a great recruiter, brought in some talented kids. But, he has never been a coordinator, his coaching duties were limited prior to the Marshall HC job. I seriously doubt anyone is making a push to get Holgorsen, agents making rumors to get more $.

Another solid year for ol Doc, not much was expected but, bowl game bound again. Unlike SOME coaches that should have been playing for the Big12 title....

Looks like we don't have to worry about a bidding war for Terry...

TB made em better but like I said, some AD's are out of touch.

Hope we can hire TB as an assistant if nothing else. Be an asset in recruiting and lord knows we can use all the help we can get.

That's gonna be a VERY interesting hire right there.
I wonder how much fighting is going to happen, he has made it known that he wants his son to take his place...good that he is going with his legacy intact.

In CUSA right? I mean we’re comparing CUSA to the Big 12, right? I strongly believe we would have won CUSA this season and still went to a bowl game. Could be wrong. I do know that a Doc coached Marshall team would have looked like an Akron MAC team in the Big 12. Kansas would have saved their HC’s job.

And I thought TB had them going in the right direction. Maybe not.
