GameTalk: Louisiana vs USA

[GATOR GRUNT]

I've noticed that Hud gets fixated on "his" guys. It's how Octravian Anderson has started for us for so long. It's why we have a goofy special teams return rotation instead of giving it to one person. It's why we have a QB problem. He just needs to get out of his own way. He pays assistant coaches for a reason.

"Fixated" is definitley the key word, and then his ego gets in the way for him to acknowledge that he was wrong.

I blame the high school coaching that didn't teach these guys how to tackle.

Was that serious or a joke?

[CajunRed]

What astonishes me is that in 5 years HUD had yet to recruit a QB, WR, DB, or OL better than what we had when he took over. if that's wrong and we have recruited better than this staff is completely failing at player development.

This on top of having zero identity on offense and defense is killing us right now.

Often times, the answer or excuse is that he can't recruit any better because the SunBelt is holding our recruiting back. But yet other SunBelt schools seem to be doing it.

Hud's refusal to acknowledge that Haack is our QB, and that Davis needs to be our backup QB and Nixon needs to be a RB is at the heart of our offensive woes. There are other issues, to be sure, but if we had built our offense [starting in the spring] around Haack's skill set, and used Davis, Nixon, Eli, Riles, Robinson, Fuse, Scott and Haynes appropriately, we would be MUCH better than we are now.

I was listening to the radio and apparently this is a Nixon issue. Nixon has said that he has no interest in playing running back. Nixon must have been promised things and if Hud does not follow through then Hud is probably going to be the bad guy coach. There is no other reason to explain why the third best QB on our team is the co-starter.

At the end of the day, Hud is still the HC and Nixon is the player. We have come to the point where this experiment has not fully worked. I, as well as others, have thought that Nixon has gotten beyond a fair shot to prove himself as a starting qb and has not been effective like Hud or anyone else had hoped. And regardless of what was promised, it's to the point where you have to try something new that might implement a little more success than what we have done now even if it takes Nixon moving to RB.

I'll somewhat accept that excuse when we lose to Tech or Kentucky BUT we are barely competing in the Sunbelt. I'm not one that leans toward Haack or Nixon, I just want to see us recruit towards a scheme and develope those players within the scheme. What I see right now is a team not built to do much of anything well.

[CrappDaddy]

My wish list for the offseason...

1.) A big running back that runs hard. I'm sure we can go out and find one somewhere.
2.) some juco o-linemen to instantly upgrade our talent level.
3.) Some pass rushers. Right now Darzil is the only one getting to the QB.
4.) Some physical TE's. We are missing Maxwell in that sense.

The sad thing is STM's QB is there for Hud's taking, but he's NOT what he's looking for.... all he does is COMPLETE PASSES and WIN.....

Well I wouldn't take STM's QB but I would take Begue.

[GATOR GRUNT]

Well I wouldn't take STM's QB but I would take Begue.

Begue wil be a part of that Mcneese team that will be hanging 50 on us next year. But he's not good enough for us. Lol

[barisaxman]

Well I wouldn't take STM's QB but I would take Begue.

Would also love Bailey Raborn!

My parents taught me a long time ago that if you can't say anything nice about people, you shouldn't say anything at all. Therefore, I won't say anything more about last night!
