Charles Huff had to deal with a scandalous locker room problem last season at Marshall.
Huff is the new coach at Southern Miss after leaving the Thundering herd after a very successful 10-3 season.
He’ll now try to improve a program that has only won one game this season, and for the sake of his mental health, he better hope to leave one problem behind him.

Charles Huff says “College Football 25” was his biggest problem at Marshall.
What was Huff’s biggest problem while coaching the Thundering Herd? Injuries? NOTHING? Fights in the locker room? Academics?
No.
Players complain about their ratings on “College Football 25“Yes, a college coach says he had to deal with players coming into his office to complain about a video game.
I was just as excited about “College Football 25” as anyone, and I thought it was a fun game. However, a college football player who complains about this to his coach is crazy.
It’s a video game. Is this a video game we’ve been waiting for over a decade to return? Yes. Is this an important part of college football culture? Yes.
However, it remains a video game. If a gamer is worried about a video game the moment he stops playing in his apartment, then he needs to get his priorities in order.
It’s frankly incredible that we have to say it. But welcome today’s culture and climate. People just can’t stay focused on what really matters. Winning games – which Marshall did – and going to the NFL should be the only thing worth investing the energy to justify a complaint.

A video game? Absolutely not. Do you think Nick Saban would have tolerated a gamer coming into his office to complain about a video game? No chance in hell, and that’s how it should be. Toughen up, young people. It’s not that important. Let me know at [email protected] if you agree.
