I still find it funny that FIU fired Christobal after having a down year last year. Who do they really think would have done better?

Let's say a certain entity in Starkville in in need of a new employee.

Every year, you will be facing Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, a resurgent Ole Miss, and schools due for a rebound like Arkansas and Auburn .

You are guaranteed to go 8-4 at best and get fired for it in a few years.

You will be making only 30-50% more than your current million dollar contract at an entity that you are guaranteed employment for life.

Would you roll the dice on a certain dead end job?

or,

Would you stay put, get rich, become a legend, and get a stadium named after you with your statue out front?

I think we're sitting pretty good over the next year or two. Most schools that Hud would have an interest (considering his original criteria) are situated with a pretty good coach right now.

I wouldn't knock Starkeville for Hud. Hud likes that area and he doesn't see any middle to low SEC football program as a challenge for him. He sees himself as the difference maker. The key for us is that we keep building our program while we have Hud and that we pray no "Hud ideal" coaching jobs become available.

I am impressed this poll ranked Hud that high. I wish we could keep him a secret as we keep growing our program... but UL gets some good pub every time Hud does.

And if we continue (ok maybe begin) to be proactive with financial rewards for the coaching staff(s) AND begin in earnest the implementation of our athletic master plan, this will start shaping up as a nice destination job; at least competitive with our peer competition.

As one poster said, why can't we be another Florida State?

Not this year but next (our coming up junior class) has very many in it and we really need some help when they leave---This would be B-Way, Harris, Ham, Ringo,Molbert, Patt, Robinson, Butler, etc----but we are filling in quite well--think only 13 -18 S-ships this coming year!!!
