Coach Russ Huesman may be lured away from UTC

The college football coaching carousel made a stop in Chattanooga last season.

It could be coming back around this offseason, with a bigger horse the target.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga head coach Russ Huesman recently was mentioned as a candidate for the Delaware vacancy. Now Richmond is looking like a strong possibility to have an opening and want him back there.

Delaware has gone 4-7 for back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1938-39. Dave Brock was fired as head coach on Oct. 16 after a 2-4 start to the 2016 campaign, and the Blue Hens went 19-22 during his three-plus seasons.

UTC lost wide receivers coach Will Healy to Austin Peay’s head coaching position last season, and he took then-defensive line coach Marcus West and director of football operations Carter Crutchfield with him.
