Foley fires up the jet and heads to Marshall. He struck coaching gold when he pulled Billy Donovan out of Marshal. Can he do it again with Doc Holliday?
First three years are unimpressive. But 2013 won the conference and is 7-0 in the current season.
From Wikipedia:
In 2005, Holliday traveled to the University of Florida and became the Gators' associate head coach, safeties coach, and recruiting coordinator under head coach Urban Meyer. In 2005, Holliday was named one of Rivals.com's Top 25 Recruiters, while also tutoring a secondary that only allowed 52.3% of passing to be completed which was 16th best in the nation.
He guided safety Reggie Nelson to a consensus All-American honor and to become a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy in 2006. Also in that season, the Gators' pass defense efficiency was fourth-ranked nationally and second in the SEC while only surrendering a nationally tenth-ranked 10 touchdowns all season and sixth in the nation in scoring defense.
We all know Foley loves to "discover" talent. This may just fit his MO.
