For giggles I looked up his twitter and saw he is on the USFL New Orleans Breakers staff.

Hunter Hughes – Assistant Defensive Backs/Defensive Quality Control
Hunter Hughes rounds out the defensive staff as the assistant defensive backs coach and defensive quality control specialist. Hughes’ contribution will be pivotal in refining the Breakers’ secondary and overall defensive performance.

Maybe it's a stepping stone. I mean he will make some great contacts.

OH WOW....what a HUGE pay cut!!!!! Assistants make like $40k tops....his position probably makes $30-35k. YIKES!

This could be a stepping stone or that was the last thing left besides being jobless for the year.
Me personally I would have looked into a temporary 5A or 6A head high school coaching position in Texas as a "last resort".
Some of those jobs could pay equal or more than some of the D2 head coaching positions.

I am too. I wished him no ill will at all it just didnt work out at WT the same way it didnt for Nesbitt.
I hope he finds himself again like Nesbitt and has the same success unless he faces WT again in a different capacity.
I looked up the NO roster to see if Tobias Harris might be on it. The only players listed were a long snapper and 3 kickers. The USFL probably won't last long (again).

I don't think he will ever be a head coach again, at any level. Nesbitt has done well but their defense is suspect. Maybe he needs to hire Hughes. McBroom could go over there as AD and they could all live happily ever after.

Tobias Harris is back in the portal. He claims to have 3 years eligibility left. If he has 3 years left, I assume he never got on the field at Old Dominion last season?Last edited by WT_TKW; 06-26-2023, 12:52 PM.

I think Tobias may be math challenged. He played in every game last year, https://odusports.com/sports/footbal...as-harris/6674

Yeah I was thinking he might have taken a shot applying for other D2 head coaching positions and turned his nose up at coordinator positions and got caught with nothing.

Usually better facilities....more $$ to work with and in many cases unlimited resources and talent (i.e. Southlake, Allen, Katy, Highland Park, etc...etc..)
Not to mention packed stadiums....phenomenal game day experience....and lots of extras from local businesses.
I would take HS coaching over D2 or FCS and some FBS ANY DAY.Last edited by ASUPops; 06-26-2023, 05:31 PM.

That's what I was wondering about. 2 years at WT plus 1 at Old Dominion leaves 2 years left (covid year included).

he started 12 games at ODU? Crazy considering he’s a D2 transfer. Where does it say he’s in the portal? If the bio is right, there is no way he has any eligibility left.
I looked over each of his playing years. He only played in 3 games (out of 6) in 2020, so it's possible he got a medical redshirt for that year. That's the only way I can see where he would have a year of eligibility left. Hughes understandably loved Harris, which is why I thought he might have shown up on the NO team.
