[Westside]

The fan base had grown restless wanting a return to the days of Jim Donnon, but that isn't happening. Jim broke every rule in the book while at Marshall. I doubt another coach could get by with what he did. Winning 6 out of 8 bowl games is impressive to me for a school like Marshall. I guess Doc could have won a couple more conference titles. I read that billionaire and current Governor of West Virginia had a hand in Doc's dismissal. He is a a Marshall alum. There were also rumors that Chad Pennington may be interested in the job, but he issued a statement saying he was happy living in Lexington and coaching his kids at Sayre. I just don't think he has enough coaching experience for a job like Marshall.
