Another thing....what if Hud is planning to push for raises for his staff and the incoming DC comes from a bigger conference...don't you think the program (HUD, farmer, Coaches and the admin) would have to atleast support the incoming guy thereby offering some level of commitment? I would think so. Don't pick a fight just to pick a fight....it make you look rather petty.

HUD firing the DC is his decision and his only, crediting anyone else with this decision is assanine.

He was fired because we gave up 280 yards passing per game for two straight years and defensive ineptness clearly cost us during this year a couple of times and could have cost us against WKU and Troy. For the first half of the year, we got no pressure on the QB and had few sacks and couldn't stop a runny nose. Clearly something had to be done. Besides the statistical realm, Hud was clearly frustrated with the playcalling and scheme in many of those games and my take from his comments was that Stewart was not always in agreement with him on what should be done or what changes should be made. If he was, there would have been little frustration shown by Hud in the media. I think there was likely some differences in philosophy there and the move is beyond just the numbers...

The field mouse is fast... but the owl sees at night.

Change is not always a bad thing. Have some of you learned nothing since the changing of the Bustle to HUD era? Hud wants to go in a different direction. Ever since he has been at the helm, I love the direction he has taken the program. I love his hunger for success.

Clutch, no offense here as you've been a good contributor to this board for some time but I could care less what a few guys in Carencro think of Guidry. Like VO said, can he coach defense and I think he's proven that. I don't know the man but he's been successful enough at the stops he's been at to garner some interest and if Hud likes him, I'm on board.

No! Hud has not earned the right to make decisions regarding his staff! As far as I'm concerned, Hud is still on probation. He had better walk a fine line and keep his nose clean. I'm not very impressed with this cat's results to-date. How he can be allowed to decide who's on his staff or not... is just ridiculous!

And I know it has beeen mentioned, but bears repeating, he let ASU run the same damned play 7 times IN A ROW.

Gregg Williams... Blitz every play!

Well, I try not to use that game as an assault on Stewart since Broadway's 5 turnovers didn't do much to help but you are correct. LOL

None taken...with the things I have heard and seen of him I don't think he would be good for our program. He might be able to coach the defense but I don't think he will recruit as well as some think. If Hud wants him, I stand behind the hire but that does not stop me from voicing an opinion about it now.
