Discussion This week in press conference, Charles Huff compared his program to being a Navy SEAL and threw shade at prior Coach Silverfield saying “They didn't hire me to stand there with my arms folded and look like I'm lost." They had 6 turnovers and lost to a 4th string freshman QB last night.

Arkansas fans don’t even like silverfield but talk about hilarious timing. Memphis fans were so convinced that Silverfield was the only issue and then laid an all time egg with that performance. There is no doubt if you watched that game Memphis is the better team and lost. Maybe coach Huff should coach them like Marines or Air Force next time.

Based on what? The Tulane loss is bad but even with what was effectively 8 turnovers they were in it until the end and outgained Tulane by over 100 yards. They beat a UNLV team who has since gone on to beat NDSU and Cal, they blew out all the other teams they were supposed to beat, and lost to Boise on the road when they ran out of gas against the likely G6 playoff rep. All this with a bunch of roster turnover and relying on So. Miss transfers.

Feels like Huff is performing on par with Silverfield the last few years despite it being year 1. Dude deserves more time before being declared terrible.

I think they said 60 transfers for Memphis. I know times are changing quickly but that is still hard to wrap my head around.

They had 65 new players in Silverfield’s last season. I think that’s part of Silverfield’s resume that got him the job - he’s used to the modern level of annual turnover.
