So he wasn’t their huckleberry?

 

[Boston Vol]

In all seriousness this makes zero sense. He’s done a great job at Marshall and for the Governor of the state to get involved is complete bullsh*t.

 

[robbymoore94]

I guess the powers at be said when. The university president seems too high strung if you ask me.

Head scratcher.

Head scratcher.

Makes sense with all those more qualified coaches itching to go there

 

[golfballs]

Wish our Governor would get involved....

Stupid move by Marshall.

 

[Tnphil]

Wins conference coach of the year and gets canned....Wow.

 

[YankeeVol]

Makes absolutely ZERO sense

Marshall can have Jeremy Pruitt if they want him.

 

[lostsheep]

Former Vol OL coach Greg Adkins is on staff there and played at Marshall. Maybe he'll be promoted to HC?

He must have pissed off some suits in high positions.

 

[tnutater]

I know it seems impossible but could Marshal be run by bigger fools than UT??
There has to be a Paul Harvey "the rest of the story" .

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

He has been very good at Marshall, this makes ZERO sense!

No you don't.

 

[05_never_again]

It's interesting that he was coaching on a contract that was expiring after this season to begin with. I was not aware of that until now.

 

[golfballs]

No you don't.

Should be a primary responsibility of the Governor. To uphold and maintain the welfare of the Tennessee football program. Unfortunately we have an AD who is accountable to nobody. The people demand a change!

 

[Border Vol]

No you don't.

Then Governor of Alabama Fob James was in on the firing of then Auburn head football coach Doug Barfield in December 1980.

Our Governor is an Auburn graduate. I don't want him anywhere near a coaching decision. Plus he's a turd merchant.

 

[Volfan1000]

Holliday will be a good pickup for somebody.

 

[MaTaLa]

Ok, so I saw this earlier and thought, I need to check VN for somebody smarter than me to explain how a conference coach of the year gets fired, without a scandal...yet.

Hmmm. Could be a plant

Ralph Friedgen got fired from Maryland back in the day the same year he won ACC COTY. This move seems just as crazy.
