If Hud ever leaves, there will be a stampede of young, hot-shot coordinators looking to make a name for themselves. Hud and the RCAF have made this job a hot commodity in the coaching ranks.Quote:

Technically it is considered internet media and I have a radio show as well. With Scout.com I'm contracted as a publisher.Quote:

I watched usa beat ulm and they pressured Browning the whole game, where was our pressure on their QB in both ulm and usa, NONE. This has been a aggravation for me these last few weeks.Quote:

I believe things will get better but I am not happy with our Pass Defense or our Pressure defense. Knowing many of you watched Bowl games this year and pressure defense on the QB was used by many winning teams, aka, OK vs AL.
was one that comes to mind.

You don't need signature wins to get a job. I'm not sure where this notion comes from. Coaches get jobs based on their connections to the school doing the hiring and the AD has to be able to say something at the podium when they hire him.Quote:

Here is what the AD says at Hud's next job. We hired a guy who has won everywhere he has been. He was the head coach at one of the most successful Division II programs in the country, was an assistant with an SEC program at Mississippi State and helped lay the foundtion that allowed that program to go on an unprecedented bowl streak, and took over one of the worst Division I FBS programs in the nation and made them the only non-power conference school to win 3 consecutive bowl games in his first three years as a head coach.
i dont think we should have a blanket idea like that. some would say when we hired Hud, that hiring another position coach was a mistake. If he is the right hire, i dont care where he comes from.Quote:

For the record I'm not against going after an asst from an FBS program. This next hire, whenever it happens, will be the biggest in Cajuns history so you have to make sure you get the right guy.
------Plus add in the A D D----I need something that I can just talk into and it records what I say and posts it---but I know what you are talking about ---well I think!!!! lolQuote:

With HUD you get the whole package---leader, Xs&Os, speaker, motivation, organization, recruiter, thinking out of the box, and just loves the spotlight and is comfortable with it ---he is the quintessential Head College football coach that has skills to be great in so many fields that call for his capabilities and talents!!! GAWD he is not but for filling a job description of head coach at a major university, he's the guy!!! I would ride him for all he is worth and I think that could be the Florida State-ing of UL-----He could be the Bowden to bring the Cajuns to a new level----His salary needs to be doubled and given the AD job if there are any problems in the president's wanting to retain the present athletic administration!!!------I remember when Jack Doland took McNeese up many many notches when he became the HC, AD, and then president of that dump---say what you want he had them growing and the whole place excited----Now I am going to tell you how I really feel!!!! lol
Two disagreements with your post are bolded.Quote:

I also do not think he would make a good AD while he was the football coach.
Great points by everyone...to be a little more specific I would like to see a assist head coach or a really good D coordinator...someone with name recognition. But if a FCS coach is the right guy so be it. NDSU HC comes to mind for the type of FCS HC. Hopefully we will be able to get the salary up to 1.2-5mil by the time all these things will have to be dealt with. I would think that you could find a really quality coach for that kind of cash.Quote:

NDSU's coach already has a new job.Quote:

I would love to know what his peers would consider his ranking in that category!!!!Quote:
