Marshall hires 2 assistant football coaches HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) _ Marshall has hired a pair of assistant football coaches. Head coach Doc Holliday announced Wednesday that Lytrel Pollard will coach the Thundering Herd's cornerbacks, while Geep Wade will coach the offensive guards and centers. Wade's hiring means offensive coordinator Bill Legg will now coach the tackles and tight ends. Pollard was the defensive coordinator at Tennessee-Martin last season. He held the same job at Mississippi College in 2010. He spent nine seasons at Southern Miss. Wade spent the past two seasons coaching the offensive line at Chattanooga, where he also was the recruiting coordinator. He spent four seasons before that at Tennessee-Martin.
Reds sign OF Ludwick, LH Francis CINCINNATI (AP) _ The Reds have made a couple moves to improve their depth, signing outfielder Ryan Ludwick to a one-year contract and left-handed starter Jeff Francis to a minor league deal. The 33-year-old Ludwick and the Reds have a mutual option for 2013. The outfielder batted .237 last season in 139 games with the Padres and Pirates, hitting 13 homers with 75 RBIs. Ludwick also has played for the Rangers, Indians and Cardinals. The 31-year-old Francis has struggled since he missed the 2009 season because of shoulder surgery. Last season, he was 6-16 for Kansas City with a 4.82 ERA in 31 starts. The Reds also designated right-handed reliever Carlos Fisher for assignment to the minors on Wednesday. |
