Huff went 7-6, 9-4, 6-7, and 9-3, with 3 straight bowls (4 if you include this year); that's right at 60% of his games.

Only half of all coaches have winning seasons in any given year. Even fewer average over 60%. When you get rid of one who is winning at that percentage, the odds of getting a better one are not in your favor.

When you get rid of two of them in a row, it's like standing in a thunderstorm and double-dog daring the lightning to strike you down.

To top it off, while you are confidently betting on a better coach, better coaches are less likely to bet their careers on you. This ain't 'Bama we're talking about.

This is Louisiana Tech, Errrrr Marshall.
