So Doc Holliday has been let go by Marshall, not fired, they just let his contract run out and they won't renew it. This is apparently because the governor of West Virginia has an ax to grind with Holliday, and wants Marshall to replace him with Bob Pruett, former great Marshall coach, who is 77 years old and last coached in 2008. The governor wouldn't sanction a contract extension for Holliday, so here we are. Incidentally, Holliday was just named CUSA Coach of the Year.

God I love college football.

(The Governor is 6'7", the richest man in West Virginia, has switched parties twice during his brief time in politics, and is named Jim Justice. Only in America.)

I watch sports so I don't have to think about politics. They better not ruin that, too

College football can teach you more about this country than any newspaper. One of the many reasons it's my favorite sport.

Anyway, if we're in the market for a designated recruiter type who excels at pulling kids out of Florida, we could do a heck of a lot worse than Holliday, though he is 63 now and maybe he'll just hang em up.

Just think about the core and lower body strength Wile E. has that enables him to lean over the cliff like that without falling!?

Not that falling would hurt him at all, but still.

It's not the fall that hurts, it's the anvil that hits you in the head after you fall.

Kent Brown said Saturday he expected an announcement in the next few days. If it doesn’t happen today I’ll go into my “Something must be wrong panic attack”.

Because that’s how I roll.

Kinda feels like a recruiting battle doesn’t it?

I'm already setting myself up for a "Welcome new Defensive Coordinator Ron English," tweet coming out sometime around 8 pm tonight.

Definitely. I've been preparing myself for this as well.

And they think they can still disappoint us, after all we've been through. :)

They have Tank Wright with the media starting at 1145. They won’t announce during that, would they? Lol

I’m going with later today.
