Who is the best coach in UL football history?

[Lexhead]

Hud. Hands down. This year not withstanding, absolutely Hud. We have had a lot of good men hold the position (and some not very good men) but in terms of advancing the program, gotta be Hud.

Aaaaannnnnd discuss ...

Stokley.

[CajunRebel]

Hud. No question about it.

Are we talking just coaching? Like x's and o's?
Or are you taking about everything in general. HUD has been our best damn AD ever

[RaginScotsman]

Even after this year's debacle, Hud is the best until someone comes along and does better than him.

[KajunKrazy]

Stokley. Not even a discussion. Go back and look at who stokley was playing. If he had HUDs schedule he would have many double digit win seasons in his career. He had some years with 4 or 5 p5 schools (today) and would still win six games. I would put any one of stokleys teams with Brian and Jake on them against any of HUDs teams. That is 8 years of his career.

Stokley gets forgotten about because his last few years were awful when he got burned out.

Different coaches, such as HUD and Stokley, were in different times and circumstances, so it's hard to say who is/was the best. That said, were still waiting for the best. The first one to leave here for a better coaching job is the answer.

I can agree with that.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Most successful and best are two different things. Nelson Stokley was a darn football genius!

[Lexhead]

You guys have me thinking about Stokely. Would it be fair to say that Stokely was responsible for pulling us out of the dark years, or would you say that it was Hud?

If there is general consensus that it was Stokely, I might be convinced to change my vote. Pulling us out of the dark times would have to have been a herculean task.

I do not know who is better but I do know that Stokley did more with less, a lot less.
