Doc A Candidate For Marshall Job?

[smiteedawgwv]

Found this on ESPN Insider. It's that time of year when names are flying around for HC jobs so who knows. I personally believe he's the unofficial "Coach In Waiting" when Stew leaves.....


We told you the other day that West Virginia associate head coach Doc Holliday might be a candidate for the Marshall opening, and now comes word from Jack Bogaczyk of the Charleston Daily Mail that athletic director Mike Hamrick has a history with Holliday.

When Hamrick fired Steve Logan at East Carolina in 2003, he reportedly wanted to hire Holliday, then an N.C. State assistant, but was overruled by the ECU administration. Bogaczyk writes: "Hamrick is said by past and present ECU insiders to be enamored by Holliday's work." Moreover, when the Herd job was last open, in 2005, Holliday expressed interest, which suggests he would be willing to leave his alma mater.

Keep dreaming, Marshall... keep dreaming!

Was Snyder Fired? If so, I think he got a raw deal. Pruitt not only left under suspicious circumstances, but it was in late spring of 2005, leaving the new coach with basically no recruiting class and not much talent. Not many coaches could have done much in Snyder's situation. He seems like a truly nice guy. Maybe he will be better off somewhere else.

Actually, Snyder "resigned"... I'm sure MooU asked him to resign or be fired... and I agree completely with your assessment, Smurph...
