Former West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett has been dismissed as the offensive coordinator at Marshall, along with a couple other assistants. Trickett joined Charles Huff's initial staff at Marshall in 2021 as the wide receivers coach. In 2022, Trickett took over the reins of the offense and helped the Herd to a 9-4 record, including a win over Notre Dame on the road.
This season, the Herd went 6-6 and struggled on the offensive side of the football. They finished 87th in total offense (357.8), 65th in passing (223.5), 92nd in rushing (134.2), and 91st in scoring (23.2).
Trickett has been in coaching essentially since his playing days ended at WVU in 2014. He began as the quarterbacks coach at the junior college level at East Mississippi, which is home to the first two seasons of the "Last Chance U" series on Netflix. Trickett spent two years there before making the jump to Division I where he was hired by Lane Kiffin at Florida Atlantic to coach tight ends from 2017-19. In 2020, Trickett was promoted to co-offensive coordinator under first-year head coach Willie Taggart.
