Marshall has hired Alabama associate head coach/running backs coach Charles Huff as its new head coach, the school announced Sunday.
Huff, 37, is regarded as one of the top recruiters in college football, and he also helped develop running backs Saquon Barkley at Penn State and Najee Harris at Alabama. Huff has never been a head coach at the college level.
Huff, a native of Denton, Maryland, becomes the 12th Black head coach in the FBS and the first hired this offseason. There were 14 in the FBS this past season, but three were fired: Arizona's Kevin Sumlin, Illinois' Lovie Smith and Vanderbilt's Derek Mason.
