I agree that Hud should be receiving some criticism for the way this year has turned out. I like Coach Hud, but he doesn't get a free ride just because we went to the NO Bowl 4 years. I'll give him a free ride if he takes us to an Access Bowl and/or provides plenty of ammo for another conference to come calling because how awesomely valuable our Football program would be to their conference. Free rides, and uncriticized seasons, are not easily obtained, and you don't get them just because the program was down for 40 years and then became better under your leadership. I'm glad Coach Hud was paid 1 million, but it's not for what he did so much as it is for where he's taking the program. It's for not being mediocre in a lowly conference. It's for getting UL to a higher level of football competitiveness, not for reaching his immediate achievement his 1st year and then maintaining that level. Coach Hud has shown some huge blunders this year, and people are sounding the horn, the ship is taking water. I think most want him to pull UL back up and show he can correct the issues, but just by hearing what he's been saying and seeing what's happening on the field, people are having doubts, and I can't blame them.
