Marshall is expected to hire Alabama associate head coach/running backs coach Charles Huff as its new head coach, pending approval by the university's board of governors on Monday, sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
Huff, 37, is regarded as one of the top recruiters in college football, and he also helped develop running backs Shaquon 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, would become the 12th Black head coach in the FBS and the first hired this offseason.
