Caller to KPEL this morning said per CBS sports?
Some publications have wrote that he should be a candidate. Not sure if Louisville has stated candidates yet.
Speculation on who to keep an eye on.

Hud is not going anywhere... Quit trying to stir the pot!
Louisville won't state candidates. Bruce Feldman, a national reporter, speculated he may be a name to watch, yesterday on twitter
Hey, I want Hud to stay as much as the next guy especially for next year. But let's also keep in mind where we were and what many of us stated when Hud was hired. Many of us said give us three or your good years and move on to something bigger leaving us better than you found us and we'll say "Thanks, Coach, and good luck to you.".
Again, I want Hud to stay but if he leaves for what he believes is a better opportunity for him and his family it will be up to us fans to show potential hires that we will still support the program both in spirit and financially. That is what will attract quality candidates. It will then be up to our admin to make the right hire to succeed Hud and keep the success and momentum going.
Well said!Quote:

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I REALLY would like 1 more year for a couple or reasons. Next year could be a breakout year with the talent returning. I would like for HUD to be here to see that come to fruition. He had earned it and so have the players who bought in to his system. We all know HUD is an excellent coach. Whoever coaches this team next year should have terrific results. It could mask some deficiencies (Lee's 1st year as our bball coach comes to mind) for whoever comes in.
I think we will always want another year with HUD. 3 has been great and will always be thankful for whatever we get.Quote:

listen fellas, i love Hud like the rest of ya ll. However, he has no signature wins.. He gets blown out against big 5 conferences (save Florida game ) and lays eggs several times- see ulm, usa. He is gonna be mentioned as possibility but certainly not probability . RELAX
Yep, at some point in the near future we will part ways. I hate to see him go but he has done more for this university in three short years than any other coach. In the long run, it will be best for Hud (More money) and hopefully for us (We get another good young hungry coach).Quote:

I think signature wins are overrated in Hud's case. He took a program with no tradition, no resources and awful facilities and has won 9 games a year, 3 bowl wins. He has shown he can recruit even with all of these obstacles including being in the worst conference in America. His winning percentage as a head coach is very impressive. He has SEC experience. A prospective program such as Louisville would have to ask what he could with resources, facilities, and recruiting to the ACC.Quote:

He has not posted a losing record since 2002. He has recorded nine wins or more in eight of his 10 seasons as a head coach. If the coaching carousel had spun at its usual speed this year, Hudspeth would probably be going somewhere else.
There is a double-edged quality to Hudspeth's background, though. He is a product of the deep South. He was born in Louisiana and played college football at Delta State. Aside from a one-year stint as the offensive coordinator at Navy, the furthest north that Hudspeth has ventured are two brief stints at Central Arkansas. While he has no ACC experience, Hudspeth would bring 20 years worth of recruiting contacts in Lousiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, some of the nation's most fertile recruiting territory.
He would also bring his offense, built in his time at North Alabama and as an assistant to Dan Mullen at Mississippi State. Hudspeth is probably not a perfect fit for the particular issues related to Louisville football, but he'd be a fine choice nonetheless.
"Hey Coach Hud... if you happen to be reading the fine forums of RP, I just want to thank you for the three great seasons and I look forward to many more great seasons with you as head coach the Ragin Cajuns! My support has been unwavering. Thanks for coaching these great guys and for being the driver of support for the students, school, community and fans. I am holding on to the rope coach! See you next year at Cajun Field!"

Don't think that won't make a difference if there is, in fact, an interest.

My coaching carousel if Rich Rod ends up at UofL - Mullen to Zona, Hudspeth to MSU, Orgeron to ULL
