This is all very true. At least as far as the Lafayette economy goes.

I have said about every coach we hire here, I hope they leave in a few years for what is now called a P5 type job. That would mean we are winning big and this place would be more of a desirable job. That has never happened yet. Maybe the new administration finds that guy and we lose the stigma of coaching graveyard. We shall see.

Point taken, and I think you're pretty accurate there. Here's the thing: the oilfied has seen an incredible turnover the last 3 years. A lot of older guys retiring and a lot of younger guys filling the voids. The younger generation is more mobile. I've seen many crossover from deepwater to land just since 2014. I know historically Lafayette has relied on deepwater, but I see some things happening, and one of them is the evolution of data mining within the oilfield. Lafayette is a hub for this exact thing. You know what technology has done to drilling over the last decade. It's almost too efficient. That said, Lafayette O & G has done a great job (while the oilfield was down) reinvesting dollars in these newer techs. I come across R&D almost weekly.
Also LNG is strong, and is expected to only get stronger. It's so cheap for the whole operation, it's almost impossible for exploration not to move upward. I think those two industries will end up being the backbone of Lafayette, and maybe even the future of the oilfield in general.

We've had dozens of assistants go on to much bigger things. As for the head coaches? Actually we have not had many. Too few to form an opinion. Actually Hud is the first to actually have the beginnings of having resources to succeed. Bustle had the Moncla Center. Hud got RCAF monies, APC center. Improved stadium.
When you say graveyard? That's before we had a trauma center. Now we've got a trama center, and medical complex for the coaches. We just need a surgeon instead of a faith healer. He just might not end up in the graveyard.

3rd-we built APC.
4th-we let him stay after one of the coaches we're bubbling answers to ACT test.
5th- we gave him the benefit of the doubt
etc
He has had more tools to work with then any previous coach that ever came to UL. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions, it's not him it's the players fault, it's the fans fault. The blame is never on Hudsbeth but he is inconsistent as a coach ! A lot of things I question during games.
Why would you even start Lewis when it was Davis that got you the win?? I don't understand a lot of stuff he does. It just blows my mind. Now he has lost the Fan Base.
Yep. Don't misunderstand me I think he should go. I hope I am wrong but we just spent a lot of money for the next coach, and the one after that, and the one after that...... to have their careers end. I hope eat crow on that statement and will be very happy when this school has a head football coach get a big time job. That will make it a much more desirable destination.
