Huff and Marshall had been heading for a divorce for months, but there were few hard feelings as both coach and program turned the page.

Charles Huff was formally introduced as the Southern Miss football coach, sharing why he left Marshall and details of a fascinating recruiting weekend.

Charles Huff posted 10 wins and earned a conference title this season for Marshall but will now venture into a major rebuilding project.

The Golden Eagles are paying the one of the Sun Belt's top coaches accordingly, something Marshall was unwilling to do.

He tagged the Southern Miss football account in the post and wrote in the caption, "Coach Huff I Love ya and Support you my Brother!" Huff was hired on Sunday by the Golden Eagles after being the Marshall coach for the past four seasons.

Southern Miss football hired Marshall's Charles Huff as its new coach on Sunday. Huff has been the Marshall coach for the last four seasons. He replaces Will Hall, who was fired by the Golden Eagles on Oct. 20 midway through his fourth season.

To replace Huff 24 hours after winning a conference crown, Marshall quickly turned to NC State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.

New Southern Miss football coach Charles Huff signed a four-year contract that gave him a rise from his previous job at Marshall.
