That's a strong possibility right now.

Why does this seem to regularly happen to our staff (if it happens)?

Supposedly Joe is making his pitch to Huff to stay, but if Huff goes Joe already has identified his replacement.

Would be a huge loss on recruiting. I’d like to think it’s a big loss as a running backs coach but we never use our RB’s so you can’t tell how good of a coach he is.

Dang that sucks. I figured he would be loyal to JoMo, but it's bama

Is he going to Bama for the same position? If so, if he wasn't going to give Moorhead more than one season I'm surprised he was willing to leave Penn St.

Looks like a done deal. Gets tiring being on the short end of the stick, maybe if he’s going to be OC or Co-OC I’ll understand. But if he’s just gonna be a RBs coach there, what a kick in the 17ing nuts.

Appears so. Maybe co-OC title included.

Isnt Getsy rumored to be headed back to Green Bay too?

Saban gets whomever he wants, coaches and players. If huff goes over there for a position coach job, he already has that at State as well as assistant head corch. Makes me wonder if both huff and Hud decided what Moorhead wants to do offensively won't work at State...makes me wonder...17 it

Hard to blame a guy with most of his career still ahead of him for going to work for one of the greatest coaches in college history, even if he is just their RB coach.

Seriously? Coaches leave for Green Bay & Alabama and you take that as them having no confidence in our coach? Have you ever considered those are two of the premier football organizations in the country?

Tony can recruit. Period. The staff has some national reach. If nothing else Tony can work Mississippi and others pick up the out of state slack. Huff was only here a year. Coaches are like preachers. They come and go. Moorhead will find another guy. Either way way we will be okay.

Who are guys we should be worried about losing because of this?

To flip that around. We are oming off one of the most atrocious offensive years in a decade and coordinators are getting better jobs by people very talented at evaluating potential. If the position coaches are good, why was our offense so ******. Maybe Huff and Getsey stole all of the coaching pills.

Just one of many dominos falling for Moorhead in the wrong direction. Everyone talks about him installing his scheme. He just lost one of the main coaches besides Breiner to help him do that. Getsy is probably gone too. Huff was an outstanding coach. I understand him wanting to go Bama seeing how Bama coaches under Saban have all gone on to bigger things. What gets me is Moorhead has one of his guys bow out after one year. Obviously he doesn’t buy in to the championship standard Moorhead is selling. He left to go to the real championship standard down hwy 82. Says a lot when your offensive guy your brought with you doesnt stick around with you. Was he mad at the lack of use this year at running back and how much nick was used in the running game? Or does he expect Moorhead to not make it based on post season conversations? Sucks to lose him as s recruiter and coach. I think he was an upgrade as an rb cosch to teach our running backs how to be more well rounded players for the nfl by expanding their receiving out the backfield. I’m interested to see how Moorhead recovers. Also expect a few more coaches to leave now that NFL is almost over.

I see you are still waiting for your answer on this.

Some people have a life outside of a message board, and don't wait with baited breath all night for the next snarky response. But since you're curious and apparently too lazy to google, I'll humor you...

2019 - Kareem Walker - former 5 * Michigan RB

2020 - E. Jai Mason - 4 * - #5 recruit in MS for 2020
Javorrius Selmon - 4 * - #7 recruit in MS for 2020
Shaquon Anderson-Butts - not yet rated

I know it sucks but if anything this is just one year early. I don't think that there is anyone who thought he was here for the long haul.

I get that the sky is falling and everything but Huff has been on a staff with Moorhead for three whole seasons. It's not a Dan and Urban situation, and it's more about the Alabama coaching pipeline than him somehow realizing that Moorhead sucks.But I certainly could be wrong.

Unfortunately, it's more about his recruiting ability, especially in the area where he is from (Washington, DC, metro area; a/k/a The DMV). That area is slap loaded for 2020 and, I think, it's the number 1 reason why Bama made a play to get him. Would have been nice to have at least a Chinaman's chance to reach that area.

It wasn’t directed at you, I was being a smartass to Alco for asking the same question to two different posters on the same thread, 4 hours apart. Sorry to trigger you.
