I'm sure some of you all have bad ones too. I can't be assed to check, though.
Quote:Herb Royer era (1953-1958)
The Herd finished second under Royer (honorable mention AP "Little" All-American for Cam Henderson in 1937) in 1957 and under Snyder (Captain of the 1947 Tangerine Bowl team and two-way tackle for Henderson) in 1964, when future head coach Bobby Pruett was a senior receiver. Royer ran the Henderson wing-T with some success, but Marshall was always underfunded.
Quote:Charlie Snyder era (1959-1967)
The underfunding really began to hurt the program in 1965, when two-platoon football became the new rule for NCAA teams, as head coach Charlie Snyder's final team was 0-10. Snyder prospered after leaving Marshall, with Royer teaching in California before coming back to Marshall, and coached Logan High School and W.Va. Tech to winning years including the latter's only WVIAC title in 1950 until Coach Bob Gobel won Tech's second in 1989.
