Doc Holliday is out after Marshall does not extend his contract. He was this season’s Conference USA Coach of Year

Chaser.
Sources: The decision to remove Doc Holliday at Marshall came from above the athletic director’s head, as it was orchestrated by the governor and board. Holliday made four-straight bowl games and eight in 10 years. https://t.co/prD4uP1tHH

That ought to make finding a successor easy peasy, no?

All the big gif sites now force you to their site to see anything, it’s a PITA. If the link you paste in doesn’t end in “.gif” it’s not going to show (Giphy goes a step further in their suckery, even a link ending in “giphy.gif” still forces you back to their site). There are ways around it, though….

Don’t know if this directly had something to do with it, but sounds like the Governor has wanted Holliday out for a while, for whatever reasons.

That’s… interesting. Is it a “Marshall isn’t allowed to be this good when the Mountaineers aren’t” type of deal?

That’s what I assumed but the governor is a Marshall alum. Likely he and his Marshall buddies are just not enthralled with Doc’s (lack of) deference to the donor class

I’m so used to seeing coaches get multi-million dollar early termination payouts, I’m not sure how to react when a coach doesn’t get one. Only thing I can come up with is the guy didn’t suck at coaching enough to merit a huge payout. Next time hire Jimmy Sexton.
