Head Coaching Carousel

There are those (mostly here) who will try to put Hud on the hot seat next year.

Nope. He won't be. Nor should he be.

Hud's seat is in no way hot since he has a contract until 2019 and there is no way he could be bought out.

Well, if he continues the QB soap opera with the 2 starters from this season, or 1 from this season and a JUCO guy, we will lose and he will be on the hot seat.

If we commit to J.D., and maybe mix in a JUCO guy just in case, people will give Coach Hudpseth a LOT of room to maneuver.

There will be a lot of rebuilding next season. That rebuilding should include the QB position as well.

Just don't give us a repeat of the QB 2 step from this season.

I know you hate pressure on a coach, and can't say a negative thing about anyone in a red UL shirt, but if this staff gives us another season like this one, it absolutely should get uncomfortable around here.

A lot of you older guys are so enamoured with Hud because he won 4 NOLA bowls. Get over it. College football is big business and the life blood of a good athletic program. We've come too far to stop now. If he can't produce AT VERY LEAST at the level he was for the first 4 seasons, he can't be allowed to continue to do whatever he wants.

We're paying big money for a SBC coach and we need a big return, consistently. I know he's the best we've had here in a long time, blah blah blah. This program isn't a ____ hole anymore.

Good for Houston. They'll be a player for years to come.

That is amazing! It wasn't too very long ago that only the top 2 or 3 coaches in all of the country were making that kind of money. Now, G5 coaches are making it. I know that a coach is worth whatever someone is willing to pay, so good for them. I'm just wondering when will the bubble burst and at what price will salaries be at when it does eventually burst.

Unbelievable. Hard to think college football is on the right path. CEO's of mid-sized companies don't make that much money.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I'm sure many will win at mid sized companies. Not so in football. Sports business model is totally different than most other businesses.

They are the ones putting up the money to pay the coach.

It may be soon. Do you see all the empty seats at major college games? I know plenty of people with lsu and Saints tickets. The Lsu tickets are more with two less games. Have several affluent friends who are dropping them and just paying through the nose for the one big game they want to see. This is not sustainable.

Even IF he loses to McNeese next year?

No Fan, Hud should retire here. That would satisfy most UL fans over the age of 50.
