Double Whammy

[cajunfan337]

If MSU fires Mullen I think it's safe to say we will be looking for a new coach. I think that will be the only SEC job open and the only one Hud would get. Florida may become open but will go after a bigger name. Here is where we lose twice. If Hud is the coach of MSU next year it is my prediction that Elijah McGuire will transfer and be redshirted at MSU next year with 3 left to play. (Geaux Dogs beat Rebels)

Could some of you please back away from the keyboard and have a cup of coffee.

Mullen is safe this year.

I could see that happening. I know for a fact Eli felt slighted in the recruiting process by the larger conferences. If he follows Hud it would be less of a starting over process than with a new coach here. Lets just hope Mullen is safe and Hud is here next year. I am sure his name will come up in every opening except maybe USC.

Nothing is impossible, but Hud at Miss State is probably not going to happen for several reasons. First, Miss State has neither the budget or facilities to challenge the top SEC programs for a division title and certainly will not challenge for a national championship. People keep bringing up programs like Miss State and Vanderbilt, clearly neither are top SEC programs and anyone that knows Hudspeth will tell you that is not his dream.

Cajun fans would be better talking about the bowl game instead of feeding the Hud rumors that are already being used on the recruiting trails by opponents. But I guess we just can't get away from CDS (Cajun Disaster Syndrome) as a fan base.

Great post T!!

Now can we get back to kicking ULM's assumption and down Cajun Field, feeding our OWN accomplishments, winning the conference, threepeeting a bowl win WHERE EVER is best for UL, and recruiting to bring the best we can into UL.

So so tired of the sky is falling people.

Why would HUD go to a bottom of the barrel SEC West school that doesn't have the resources or anything to compete with Alabama, Auburn, and the A&M's? NO WAY does HUD have this kind of success in the SEC west...

I will preface this with saying that I am not worried about losing HUD this year and think if we keep in the same direction at this speed, he may very well be here for the long haul.

Did you hear Saban's interview about winning at Alabama? He talked about how it isn't fun anymore. The fun was in building. Couple that with millions of people saying Hudspeth CAN'T WIN at MSU and you have an interesting scenario. You can't convince me that he wouldn't choose that job because he can't win there. Coaches believe that they can take the worst of the worst and make it a winner. Now there may be other scenarios why he wouldn't go to MSU but "not being able to win there" is not one of them.

I agree 100 %. I'm sure the same was said about the opening here...we were one of the worst programs in FCS and look what he has done. I do not buy the "can't compete in the SEC" argument.

HUD turned down the ulm job a year earlier for that exact reason. Why wouldn't he have that same thinking? He said in his first interview that after talking with savoie and farmer that they assured him they were serious about building a program. He thought you could win here because of the city, recruiting base and money potential. HUD is a smart man, I don't think he is gonna jump ship just to jump ship. He stayed at north alabama for 7 years, you don't think he had better financial opportunities before 7 years?

Comparing ULM to MSU is apples to oranges. MSU was climbing the rankings just a few years ago. They, although slim, have the potential to win in the SEC.

Again, I said I don't think he is going anywhere. I was stating that "he can't win at MSU" is not a reason he why he would turn down the job.

Then you haven't spoken to him about it. But let me ask you this, when was the last time Miss State won a national championship? How many division championships have they won in the past 20 years? What is their budget compared to Alabama?

When you compare Alabama to Miss State job..it's comparing apples to oranges. When you compare a coach looking to build something at his first FBS job, to wanting to build something at a Miss State job...you are talking apples and oranges as well.

The difference is clear, Hud knows what is available at Miss State in resources and he is smart enough to know they are not Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Tenneessee, Georgia or Texas A&M.

If Hud takes a job at Miss State, then it will be because our university hasn't followed through on the commitments he was promised and he had enough. He wins a championship or two and gets UL in the Top25, he will get his share of interviews at some of the top jobs in SEC or ACC.
