Hudspeth on Speculation Radar

If he's not on most, if not all, lists, something is wrong. He took a bottom feeder and made them relevant. Now getting the job is a different story. With the perception of the sunbelt still where it is, take away the names and a P5 coordinator is still more attractive than a sunbelt head coach. JMO.

Devils Advocate...Ole Miss, Auburn, and Boise State have all hired your less attractive "Sunbelt head coaches" in the last 3 years.

Devils advocate...then the only option is Mississippi state because all 3 of those examples have direct ties to those jobs.

Exactly, take away the names (and ties) and I stand by my statement.

I don't know what you think relevant is, but we are not relevant. I know it's fun to think so though. I catch myself sometimes too.

I consider the best 4 year stretch of any mid-major ever should we finish with 9 wins and setting attendance records at bowl games as relevant.

Well I can see why we disagree

What is your definition?

Boise and TCU would like to have a conversation with you...

Maybe should have said ONE of the best. I remember reading that no mid-major has won 9 games including their bowl game 4 straight years. Pretty impressive considering the past. And the fact that Boise and TCU enter the conversation further proves relevance IMO.

And tcu is no longer a mid major

BUT between 05-11 when they went 77-13 with a 6-1 bowl record, they were. What they are today is not relevent to his statement.

Is what I said not true? I don't know why you are trying to go to such lengths to prove we aren't accomplishing anything as a program.

If I was betting money, the writer had no source that Hud was on the list. He remembers that we were a blocked punt away from beating them in Gainsville the last time they were ranked and a little search let him know that we've sustained that success since via good records, recruiting classes, and bowl wins. He did a little connecting of the dots, but like someone else said, I'd be very surprised if he got Florida; the bigger worry will be the opening created by whoever gets Florida.
