I don't question his salary, its a reward for past services and an incentive to get back up when he stumbles.
$1,000,000 is not an employment guarantee from either side.

First of all, this year being an isolated case will only be proven once we are back up again. "That" is the definition of an anomaly. We cannot as of yet define our situation as an anomaly. There are plenty of examples of stubborn coaches that did well, but then began a systematic decline. Neither you or I can determine our future. But this, again, will only be defined as an isolated "down year" once it falls in between good years... not at the end of 4 good years.
Did I say anything about the raise being foolish? I had and have no problem with Hud's salary. I just don't agree that this year should have taken the turn downward that it did in almost every aspect of our play. At this point, we are questioning just about every single element of our football team... except for the punter. Is that the eclipse of 4 straight winning seasons, 4 bowl victories... and the sell of a magnificient APC under construction?
It's odd that you discredit people on here for giving football "expert" opinions... but go on to give a lengthy one of your own. And every single thing you listed is on the coaching staff. If our OL are too fat and slow to assist on a screen, why were they expected to open up holes for Eli in the middle of the field against 8 men in the box? And Hud didn't just fail to develop a QB. That's the big obvious that everyone including their girlfriend notices.
The truth is that he couldn't identify what was wrong with his talent, what was right with his talent, and adjust accordingly. He certainly gets the opportunity to reconstruct the team. I'm not arguing that. But to watch what he did this year... and not do... and assume that same brain will automatically figure things out. He just may need to find some help outside of where he's been looking IMO.
Could it be defined as an anomaly in 2015, that turned into a pattern in 2016, 2017?
I hope not, but for now it sure feels like an anomaly, and I hope it stays an anomaly.
I'm not sure how many people you're actually addressing. I wanted Hud to be paid the most we could afford... so that I could ride his ___ for the entire time he's coaching here. I expect the most out of those paid the most.
This seems like the perfect year to give Hud a low grade on his report card and give him a stern talk about improving his grades. No?

No one is saying its a mistake. I'm saying coach like you are a million dollar coach and earn your money Of course some of the people taking offense to questioning HUDs season are the same folks that were wet between the knees when " what's his name " was hired as RCAF director. Hmmmm?
Settling for mediocrity, are we?

And what looks like a massive turnover in coaches coming this year I expect salaries to keep heading higher. In my opinion that million dollar salary isn't going to look bad at all over the next few years. There are currently seventy seven other schools who pay their coach more money and there is little to no chance we attract another decent coach for less going forward.
Chill out "stolen stained cotton hotel robe dude". "Slander people unchecked"? What does that mean? Who have I slandered?
I didn't say this team deserved your time. But you were a giant fan of Hud a few years ago. And yet you want to hammer some other fans about being critical this year? I don't get it. Are you not both a past giant Hud fan... and now critical of Hud? I don't see that as being hypocritical. Hud deserves both the accolades and the criticism. How again did I slander you my lovable stolen hotel cotton robe with stains guy?
----In my first teaching gig I taught the kids the difference between slander and libel---STLW---Stood for ST Louis Wins!!!! Slander is talking (spoken) and libel is the written word----Think this is in the libel section!!! Also BWK how is your kid doing??? Where is he??? WE miss you!!!
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.
