Alabama football head coach Nick Saban at National Signing Day

Nick Saban is no stranger to large scale staff rebuilds for his Alabama football program. It looks like he may have another on his hands this year, not only because of Steve Sarkisian’s departure to Texas, and those that are following him. Now, 37-year old Charles Huff, who is an assistant head coach and running backs coach under Saban, is reportedly taking the job at Marshall.

The Thunder Herd job is one of the more surprising openings of the year. Longtime coach Doc Holliday just led the team to a 7-3 season, with a 4-1 Conference USA record and conference coach of the year honors. He was 85-54 in 11 years with the team, winning a conference title in 2014, and two additional division titles. He was 6-2 in bowl games.

The politics around Marshall football are always fascinating for a smaller program. The team reportedly looked at Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, a legendary Thundering Herd player, and even reached out to Marshall great Chad Pennington. Instead, they’re plucking from the best staff in college football.
