Petrino to Louisville

[Hammer58]

Well I mean I know WHAT you do, just not what to technically call you. Like Buckley is a beat writer, what is BJ?

Webmaster?

I think I have heard him referred to on the radio as the "Publisher of CajunRedZone.com".

[VObserver]

I really, really don't want Hud to leave... but Orgeron would win here.

Orgeron would win us scholarship losses and continuous probation for the duration of his stay. The man is poison to a G-5 school.

Ron Roberts- SLU HC

I think we would be taking a step back if we hire a FCS head coach.

[CajunNation]

Hypothetically, if Coach Hud were to leave as our coach. Any idea on who fans would love to see as a replacement? Again, hypothetically!

If Hud ever leaves, there will be a stampede of young, hot-shot coordinators looking to make a name for themselves. Hud and the RCAF have made this job a hot commodity in the coaching ranks.

If anyone doubts the caliber of applicants we would get, just look to Jonesboro. They have had unbelievable success, and that job is not as attractive as this job.

Technically it is considered internet media and I have a radio show as well. With Scout.com I'm contracted as a publisher.

Roberts track is similar to Huds. Coach Hudspeth coached at North Alabama and Delta State. Roberts was at Delta State and SLU now. He is a very good coach.

[USLJim]

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

I agree to this. He has NO signature wins and the loss to ulm and usa should not have happened. It cost us an outright Conference Championship. Those 2 games showed me the coaching staff's inability to learn from film. I watched usa beat ulm and they pressured Browning the whole game, where was our pressure on their QB in both ulm and usa, NONE. This has been a aggravation for me these last few weeks.
Coach Hud is the Man, but the honeymoon is over. WE need to separate ourselves from the rest of the Sunbelt or we won't move up.

I believe things will get better but I am not happy with our Pass Defense or our Pressure defense. Knowing many of you watched Bowl games this year and pressure defense on the QB was used by many winning teams, aka, OK vs AL.
was one that comes to mind.

You don't need signature wins to get a job. I'm not sure where this notion comes from. Coaches get jobs based on their connections to the school doing the hiring and the AD has to be able to say something at the podium when they hire him.

What signature wins did Bryan Harsin have as a head coach, Gus Malzahn, Hugh Freeze?

Here is what the AD says at Hud's next job. We hired a guy who has won everywhere he has been. He was the head coach at one of the most successful Division II programs in the country, was an assistant with an SEC program at Mississippi State and helped lay the foundtion that allowed that program to go on an unprecedented bowl streak, and took over one of the worst Division I FBS programs in the nation and made them the only non-power conference school to win 3 consecutive bowl games in his first three years as a head coach.

i dont think we should have a blanket idea like that. some would say when we hired Hud, that hiring another position coach was a mistake. If he is the right hire, i dont care where he comes from.

If HUD was to leave, I would like to hire someone like Auburn Off Cordinator Lashlee. I know he doesn't have HC experience but he reminds me of Texas tech's Kingsbury.

The question you have to ask about Lashlee is how involved is he in the offense? Malzhan is the main play caller for Auburn.

Both Lashlee and Morris are the hot names out there right now. Both would be very hard to convince to come coach a SBC program. They have pulled their names from decent HC jobs already, they are waiting for a shot like Kingsbury...a BCS program.
