Hudspeth in no hurry to name a starting quarterback

[CharlieK]

I absolutely agree with you (about turning around seasons on a dime). I don't know about the talent - just because I simply do not know. But good talent can be coached into a ball of crap. I don't actually have a definable expectation. I know we are somewhere between a 9-3 and a 3-9 football program. "Expectation" takes a big back seat to "Realization" once the first game is underway.

I do hope our players stay healthy this year and our coaches give them every chance to win.

Most of those 9-4 seasons could have been easily worse. That's not to say we were lucky. Just that the difference between last year and 9-4 is much smaller (at our level) than I think most believe. I 100% agree that last year was primarily a coaching failure, on the fundamental and schematic levels. I am hopeful for a turn around, based on the fact this head coach has had very few years in his career like the past one.

I was tuned into each piece and part of each game in the past 5 seasons. Anyone who thinks we were dominating in the 8-4 regular seasons was either not at the games... or on crack. I am ok with the notion that Hud did (4) 8-4 seasons... so we shouldn't believe the latest 4-8 is his new normal. But many people want to take 3 or 4 excuses from last year... and pass on whether or not the coaching stunk. It stunk.

Agreed. And I'm not taking just Hud's 1st four here....he has just about always won everywhere he has gone. This tells me (or seems to indicate) he can coach em up. For whatever reason, or reasons, he and his staff did not do a good job of doing that last year. I'm sure we all have our theories. My glass half full hope is that he knows what to do, and will do it, based on just about all of his past history.
