HUNTINGTON According to several reports, Marshall University will hire Doc Holliday as its next head football coach.
Holliday, a Hurricane native and West Virginia Universitys associate head coach, reportedly is scheduled to arrive in Huntington on Wednesday. A press conference announcing the 52-year-old veteran assistant coach as the Thundering Herds 29th head coach could be scheduled for as early as Thursday, according to several media outlets, including wvmetronews.com.
