I want HUD to stay...

I tend to agree. I think this year is the result of ineffective coaching, which can happen. I think we had more talent than our results would indicate. Hopefully, the staff...in whatever form it takes for next year...corrects some things and begins to coach our players UP...which surely didn't happen this year.

A lot of factors came in during the Bustle era including Dr. Authement forcing them to recruit kids with higher ACT scores, similar to what Bruno has done at ULM. The problem with the Coach Bustle era was for every Ladarius Green or Bentley there were too many kids like Colin Windsor, Robbie Robinson or Bobby Fails. I thought their strength was indentifying local athletes that could play or be coached up like Fleming, Desormeaux, Huval, Babb, Kelley, Ortego and a few others. In their last two classes they took more chances with kids like Bernard Smith, Chris Tucker and Tyrell Gaddis, but it was just too late to change the direction of the program. There was good talent at times, but just not enough to get the program over the top.

I think most of our fans appreciate what Hud has done for us and realize their will be some downs mixed in with the ups. I think he can right the ship, but we as longtime Cajun fans have little experience of how to act when we have a bad year after 4 really good years.

Everyone remembers the 13 years in the desert starving for 1 winning season....paranoia is setting in because no one wants to see that kind of football again.....and we got to see it again this year....

Our conditioning program is massively overhyped. Our linemen are mostly obese and leadfoot slow.

100% fact: All teams with athletic linemen this year withput exception kicked our tails. Our OL play was terrible against any team that has had more than 4 wins. We are in the Sunbelt and getting manhandled in the trenches.

But the guy threw 7 passes for 60 yards. I'm no mathematician but just by looking at the numbers, looks like very easy, high percentage throws. You know who else has a very high passing efficiency? Our Captain does. When Davis has some time in, I'll give the guy his due. And I'm sure he will be a good player for us. But the timing of some of the comments here are laughable.

Again, I'll judge this program off of what I just saw for 4 months.

You see easy, high percentage throws.

I see an 80 yard TD drive.

Neither observations are wrong.

Poli, Hud himself said that we backed off on our off-season conditioning last spring. That was the first of his many poor coaching decisions this past year.

No, I don't want to be "that guy". I'm happy as hell that Jordan Davis saw the field. I'm happy that he did some positive things, and he looks like he can be an exciting player.

But we have serious problems outside of the QB position, which is what I was really getting at.

Doesn't matter if we want Hud back or not, if a better job in his opinion comes his way, he gone. That's how it works at this level in coaching. And if he does leave, we are further down the road then we were before he got here. The next guy will not be putting from the rough, he will at least be on the green. Just my $00.02

But if you watched the game, you would have seen that if Haack would've been in on Davis' drive, he would've been sacked another 2-3 times.

And while we can downplay the "broken play," what about his 7-7 passing for 60 yards?

7-7 is impressive on any drive in any league in any year.

Of course Haack would have been pulled for doing that. ;)?
