This year being his 1st year with 100% all of his recruits is telling for Hud's recruiting ability. Next year will be very interesting. With as bad as this year was, Hud has to put out next year. Simple as that.

Name all of bustles recruits that contributed to the 2013 and 2014 9-4 football teams. That argument is so rediculous. Bustle wasn't some recruiting genius. His teams were routinely beat physically by sun belt teams. We had 1 really good team IMO and that was 2008.

This is a wish thread, so let's get one thing straight. Hud is not in jeopardy of losing his job in 2015, and could have exactly as bad a year in 2016 without fear of the axe.

The originator of the thread indicated he wants Hud to have an opportunity to fix this mess. He'll get that for sure, and more. Some think it's due him, it isn't. Some think he won't, and that will be determined in the coming years.

It's not about being fair, or loyal. Loyalty if college ball is the contract. Coaches abridge it, colleges buy it up. There is no loyalty in either position, it's just business.

The only ones I am loyal to are the athletes because they represent MY university. I will give them the benefit of the doubt, unless they have proven to they are not trying. How can I be upset by their talent level. We asked them to come and play and they accepted.

How quickly some forget. Seriously.

Take a look at the facility upgrades. Take a look and remember the fun we've had the last 4 years.

Now....remember the 30 years prior to Hud being here.

Got it?

We are a bad football team this year. Know what? We are "pre-Hud" Cajun football right now. Can the man have one disappointing season?

4 straight years of the winningest football we've seen and one bad year has a ton of people trashing our coach! This season, pre-HUD, was considered a GOOD year! Some of us need to get over ourselves.

Seriously.

He needs to recruit more guys with character and fewer characters

Is getting facilities built important? Yes, of course. I don't think every decision HUD has made has been correct or worked out. But I do think he has more than earned the right of the benefit of the doubt. Maybe some making the comments are the same people calling for Robe's head a few years ago.

Raised us from the ashes????? We are still down with the bottom 25 in the country. We are getting whipped by teams that just moved up to 1A. We will probably get beat by a 1AA opponent next year. Bustle raised us from the ashes. Hud finally had to coach his recruits with his coaches. The only thing that Hud did was get on the train at the right time. Yes, I think his big talk and enthusiasm have helped, but his coaching flaws have caught up with him.

Dear HUD, less micromanaging of your team. Let your coaches coach. A CEO is great because he surrounds himself with good people and lets them do their jobs.

That is without looking it up. I am sure there are more.
