While the University of Richmond made it official Wednesday morning that it has hired the former defensive coordinator from the Spiders’ 2008 national championship season as its new head coach, Huesman turned the Mocs from a laughingstock to a championship contending program. The sudden departure of a coach who will one day become a Chattanooga legend comes as a shock to many, including UTC verbal commit and Walker Valley standout Bryce Nunnelly. “I was very surprised to see Coach Huesman leave UTC and go to Richmond,” said Nunnelly, one of eight hard verbal commits as of now for the Mocs 2017 recruiting class. “He seemed like a great coach and an even better man. I couldn’t wait to play for him, but I respect his decision and wish him nothing but the best. He definitely turned Chattanooga’s football pro- gram around for the better and made it what it is today.” The three-time SoCon Coach of the Year ‘restored the glory’ for a once bottom- dweller program, which was 27-76 overall and 18-51 in SoCon play from 2000-08. Huesman doubled those win totals in just eight sea- sons with a 59-37 overall record and 42-20 conference record, while taking UTC to its first playoff quarterfinals in a program-best 10-win season in 2014.
