Huff seems to like to promote from within. Morrison or Street?

Seems like he did an excellent job while here. Wish him the best and hope we can find a good replacement!

While I would have loved to have kept Guidry, it's nice to have a coordinator someone else wants.

Losing a coach to another G5 that's supposed to be our peer is always a kick in the nuts.

I really hope Huff brings in an experienced DC. I don't want another work in progress like we have with at OC.

Not sure why that is a surprise. I said that would happen before the bowl game even happened. No way we have a top 10 D and don't lose that coordinator.

I wish him well, but I think he could do better in the long run. Tulane is good now, but for how long? Including this season, Tulane has had only six winning seasons since that undefeated season in 1998.

He's from down that way which may have played a role.

Tulane is a very good academic school with a lot of wealthy alums. There endowment is close to $2 BILLION while MU endowment is $250-300 million. I wouldn't be surprised if Guirdy doubles his salary at Tulane. If you listen to Coach Huff's podcast, there are SBC schools that pay more salary to their assistant coaches than MU does for its assistant coaches. If Guirdy does well at Tulane, he will move up and double his salary again.

I remember when we were going into CUSA when Houston and the other schools were members. Bob Pruett said our assistant coaches salaries couldn't compete with the other member schools salaries.

i guess nobody will be surprised, even the timing.

another test for Huff. he seems to be having to deal with more changes and hurdles than any other recent Herd HC.

coordinators as well as HC changes obviously have potential to change a program for good or bad. it's easy to think negative since there was really no where for this D to go but maintain or go down. besides X & Os and related, examples might be retaining or signing unsigned players

Guidry's ties to Louisiana have to be the reason right? After the realignment AAC probably isn't as good as the SBC in my opinion? We'll have to see how this shakes out.

I don't think it is the end of the world. Remember Bob Pruett lost coordinators and assistant coaches and he just reloaded. I can't remember Snyder or Doc losing too many coaches. I guess if the head coach is losing assistants, that means the head coach hires good coaches.

That, money and more than likely a step up in the level of competition.

MU, one of the best defenses in the country and Tulane got him. I am surprised a few other, higher profile teams didn't come calling sooner.

This is a loss for MU.
