Coaching Searches

If I would have told you before this season started that Willie Taggert, Gus Malzahn, Sonny Dykes and Mario Christobal would have been coaching in other places besides (WKU, stAte, La Tech and FIU) in 2013, before Coach Hud, would you have believed me.

I know the Taggert thing is not a done deal and Christobal was fired (I truely believe he will be coaching somewhere next season, probably as a HC, but definiatley as an assistant). I know all of these guys have been on other radars, but I doubt anyone would have believed all 4 would be somewhere else before Coach Hud. I am not shocked by Malzahn going to Auburn, but Christobal fired shocks the hell out of me. Just last season he was one of the hottest names in college football. Taggert suprises me after, what I believe was a very dissappointing finish to the 2012 season.

I am not insinuating anything, just an interesting observation.

I have my eye on the Tennessee job they've been getting rejected and they seem to be making their way down the list. Huds name has to be on it somewhere just don't know what number he is.

Thanks, Z.

correct, he is rumored to have interviewed with USF, not sure if he will get it or not, the other rumor is that Houston Nutt interviewed for the job as well.

cross your fingers that John Chavis will be the next Tennesse head coach.

I'm shocked Hud isn't higher on there list. He gives them recruiting ties in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. That solves one of Tennesseee's biggest problems, weak recruiting base. I'm guessing getting burned by hiring that La Tech chump hurts Hud's chances, but it's definitely a job he could succeed at. If he gets that one I'll be sad, but that would be a totally understandable move.

Petrino has contacted stAte about replacing Malzhan.

Good. He'll come in, have a great year while his reputation clears up and he'll bolt for a BCS job the next year. I wouldn't even hire him if I was stAte. They are shooting themselves in the foot by hiring these waiting in the wing SEC coaches.
