Some publications have wrote that he should be a candidate. Not sure if Louisville has stated candidates yet.

Speculation on who to keep an eye on.

Hud is not going anywhere... Quit trying to stir the pot!

[wcd35]

Louisville won't state candidates. Bruce Feldman, a national reporter, speculated he may be a name to watch, yesterday on twitter

Hey, I want Hud to stay as much as the next guy especially for next year. But let's also keep in mind where we were and what many of us stated when Hud was hired. Many of us said give us three or your good years and move on to something bigger leaving us better than you found us and we'll say "Thanks, Coach, and good luck to you.".

Again, I want Hud to stay but if he leaves for what he believes is a better opportunity for him and his family it will be up to us fans to show potential hires that we will still support the program both in spirit and financially. That is what will attract quality candidates. It will then be up to our admin to make the right hire to succeed Hud and keep the success and momentum going.

Well said!

Louisville should go for Narduzzi.

I hope Petrino is a viable Candidate just for the entertainment value....man, would that be a Circus to watch

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I REALLY would like 1 more year for a couple or reasons. Next year could be a breakout year with the talent returning. I would like for HUD to be here to see that come to fruition. He had earned it and so have the players who bought in to his system. We all know HUD is an excellent coach. Whoever coaches this team next year should have terrific results. It could mask some deficiencies (Lee's 1st year as our bball coach comes to mind) for whoever comes in.
I think we will always want another year with HUD. 3 has been great and will always be thankful for whatever we get.

It will get down to 0 degrees in Louisville tomorrow. Not exactly a place that I'd want to be at the moment......

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

Yep, at some point in the near future we will part ways. I hate to see him go but he has done more for this university in three short years than any other coach. In the long run, it will be best for Hud (More money) and hopefully for us (We get another good young hungry coach).

Did high freeze have a signature win? How about Malzhan? Todd berry has a signature win why doesn't he have a bigger job yet?

People make to much out of signature wins. When these schools go to hire a coach they know the limitations that have at the non AQ schools. Do they look better on the resume of course but it's not the deal breaker a lot of people think it is.

I think signature wins are overrated in Hud's case. He took a program with no tradition, no resources and awful facilities and has won 9 games a year, 3 bowl wins. He has shown he can recruit even with all of these obstacles including being in the worst conference in America. His winning percentage as a head coach is very impressive. He has SEC experience. A prospective program such as Louisville would have to ask what he could with resources, facilities, and recruiting to the ACC.
