Is one Coach bigger than the rest of the athletic department?? Yes...yes he is.

I think we all need to realize that that coach that is bigger than the rest of the department is a very short-term coach, and is looking out for his eventual promotion to a bigger program, and could probably careless about the long-term future of this program.

Mostly disagree. Is his end game the SEC(Miss St)? Yes. Care less about thus program in the future? The long term future of this program only helps his end game. Moving on or not he is an obvious supporter of this program's future...not just his own. IMO

No Coach worth his salt wants a long term gig at a mid major and I'd be mortified if this was what HUD aspired to. HUD will not be here past next year.. Mark it down.

So, what if we get that Big-12 invite next year following the trophy presentation, after we become a BCS-buster and win the Orange Bowl? Does the HUD stay??

I'll say this. IFF we come out with an aggressive Master Plan AND the boosters start lining up, I think he wants to put his signature on it!

Well at that point, in your scenario, UL would no longer be a mid-major but a BCS conference program. So at that point Hud likely stays because in essence he has gotten a better gig and moved from a mid-major to a BCS program without even having to call a moving van.

In 2000 TCU was in the WAC when Gary Patterson took over. Gary Patterson has taken them from the WAC to cusa to MWC to big 12. Coaches can stay if their happy, it does happen.

For the Love of money, yeah, let someone else pay for everything, just give me cheap seats and win.
No traditions anymore, if adidas or Under Armour comes in and says, no more tailgating bands, just a Under Armour/Adidas display with our goods to be sold, we decide your tailgating designs, you do what we want.
Lets sell ourselves like La tech did with Davidson, he runs the show in Ruston and it cost their seniors a Bowl trip.
I am not against Sponsors but I am against a Sponsor telling us what colors to wear or what design to use, if that is the case. I hate Oregon uniforms and the Maryland uniforms look like posters.
Give me Traditional uniforms anyday. Sorry, I am a traditionalist and team player. Lets get 10,000 RCAF members and then see what we can do.

GEAUX CAJUNS.

Everything that just came out your mouth says you aren't a team player, and WTH are you talking about tailgating bands?

Just wondering...Do you realize that nothing you ever say makes sense?

[cajunfan96]

When is everyone in the athletic dept going to realize that Hud is THE face of our program and by far the best ambassador for anything that has to do with Ragin Cajun athletics. Give the man what he wants. I realize Farmer is the AD but for some reason when I saw him holding the NOLA bowl trophy I just wasn't happy to see him. I've gone from thinking he was the one to get us to the next level to feeling like he is the one holding us back with being content with where we are now and dragging his feet on our master plan efforts and anything regarding conference. To sum up.....if Hud wants new unis....give him new unis. Haha

We may never get someone like Hud again in our lifetime! Give Hud whatever he f....ing wants!

Gary also wasn't the coach that started the building process at TCU. Franchione went 25-10 from 1998-2000. It is a steady process...Hud has started to build something here but similar to TCU and Boise, the next coach will be the most important hire the admin ever makes. Either you hire a coach who continues to build, or you fall off the map.

Another interesting comparison between Boise and TCU, is that both programs hired from within.
