Yes, there is the obvious, and behind that would be the Doc Holiday era.
1. DH is responsible for the worst debacle (wvu at home in 2010) in Marshall sports history, among countless other debacles (like opting for field goals in OT against VT in a rain storm).
2. DH is responsible for not one, but the top TWO worst HOME blowout losses in Edward's stadium history (against UCF & WKU).
3. DH is THE most fraudulent recruiter in MU history and probably all of college football. 3 of his top 5 recruits each year NEVER see the field (and he knows that ahead of time). 5 of his top 10 NEVER see the field. And it shows. Out talented to the tune of 3-9 2 years ago and even last year in a poor conference. His one and only redeemable value was that he was this "great recruiter". He produces very little NFL talent and regularly get's out recruited when all said and done in one of the worst conferences in college football.
4. DH regular season records through the years; 5-7, 6-6, 5-7, 3-9, 7-5 and then had 3 10 win season when conference got gutted, combined with ultra conservative play calling led to the BIGGEST EXODUS of Marshall football fans in program history. Last year's home attendance hit a 20 year or more low.
5. Went 3-9 just 2 years ago in THE worst conference in I-A college football.
6. In almost 40 YEARS of coaching Has NEVER been offered a Head Coaching job at ANY LEVEL other than at Marshall.
7. Imagine your team regularly punting on your opponent's 38, imagine never seeing a trick play (or even motion), imagine other coaches saying how simplistic your offense is, imagine running clock on a slim lead beginning of 3rd quarter (so you can get off field and go to bed), imagine having a head football coach who acts like he hates playing the game. That is what Marshall fans have seen for 8 years now.
8. DH's Record against teams with a pulse is utterly abysmal. After 8 years in the game, and after a 3-6 campaign, STILL could not beat one team in regular season with a winning record last year.
