With the early signing period just about over, it seems coaches are ready to make a few staff changes and the Thundering Herd appear to be one of the first to make a move.
The school confirmed to local reporters that Thundering Herd offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Bill Legg won’t return to the team for 2018. It’s unclear if head coach Doc Holliday will hire a new coordinator to replace Legg but Todd Goebbel was listed as the team’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Legg, a West Virginia native who played for the rival Mountaineers back in the day, joined the program back in 2010 and played a big role in the team’s offensive success early in his tenure. The Herd went 13-1 in 2014 and won the Conference USA title but the offensive numbers have trended downward in the past three seasons.
Marshall at least sent Legg out on a high note, as the team won their sixth straight bowl game by beating Colorado State 31-28 in the New Mexico Bowl last Saturday.
