"Memphis is expected to finalize a deal Saturday to hire Southern Miss' Charles Huff as football coach, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. Huff is set to receive a five-year contract, sources said. Huff, 42, was 7-5 in his first year with the Golden Eagles. Prior to that, he spent four seasons as Marshall coach, culminating in a 10-3 record and a Sun Belt title in 2024."
"A day after the conference title, Huff made the jump to last-place Southern Miss, which went winless in conference play last season but was 5-3 in 2025. Editor's Picks Memphis is replacing Ryan Silverfield, who was hired as Arkansas coach after leading the Tigers to bowl eligibility in six straight seasons. Huff has a wide range of experience, as he has worked as an assistant for Nick Saban, James Franklin, Dan Mullen and P.J. Fleck."
