I want HUD to stay...

[Oiler]

Agreed, the decision to stay or go is Hud's. My big concern is he won't go ever. That, in spite of what some think, would be a disaster. Well maybe he could become Blakeney, where he is pretty good, but not good enough to leave. More likely he becomes a great realtor in Lafayette.

I might disagree with your golf analogy. We might currently be putting from the green, but we are putting downhill on a fast breaking hole. We might be better off hitting the green below the pin from the rough.

Hudspeth is making double what he's worth as a head coach. If he'd won an outright conference championship, or picked up some impressive signature wins over P5 teams, then he might have deserved a $million salary. As things stand today, he's worth about $500K. So no, Hudspeth isn't going anywhere. We overreacted when we extended his contract out as far as we did.

We paid him that so we could keep him here. Had we not paid him and he would have left last year people like you would be _____ing just as loud that our admin didn't step up and pay the man what he wants.

For the program, he has been worth way more than a million... You are worth what the market will bare, at the time he was offered 1.2 million for a job...so I'd say he is worth it. He is getting paid 1 million, so I'd say he is worth it. 1 down year with transitions, new staff and more injuries than we have had in a long time and now he isn't worth it. Hope you never have a down year at work, which I'm sure you won't being perfect and all.

You know what kills me?

There isn't a damn one of you on this board who questioned the big raise Hud got. Now you're criticizing that we overpaid......

All of you SCREAMED because you were afraid we might lose him. THAT'S why he got the big raise.

Quit being hypocrites.

I love this time of year Jay. This is when callers take to the air waves, & cry about the very things they were most proud of four months ago. What I'd like to do is take a poll of how many people would like be going to the New Orleans Bowl this year.

Very few are being hypocrites. I wanted to keep him by paying him the market demand. I am very demanding, however, about what we get for our money. And this year isn't an anomaly year until it has been corrected. Until then... it's raise hell with Hud time.

This was an informative thread for me, on what we can expect for a $1 mill per year coach.

You only came to one game this year. You went from being our biggest fan 4 years ago to being nonexistent. Get in line at the poll, Mr. Pollster!

[CajunRed]

I, for one, have not said we shouldn't be paying Coach Hud what we're paying him. I also want him as my coach. But now that we have stepped up and made him the highest paid SBC coach surrounded by quality facilities, is it out of line to at least question if we're getting our money's worth? With a substantial raise and substantial facility commitments should come increased expectations. If that is out of line, let us know so we can all just drop the issue.
