    Could we have the most thin skinned athletic grouping in America?? From the local media to the ADs office, RCAF Board, President and now coaches....WTF? Get real, do YOUR fqqn job and your feelings wont get hurt.

    It's Official.. We need to Fire Hud and Scott Farmer period... Liars and thieves Say this and deliver that. But Framer has to go first so we get a credible AD to hire a good football coach first.

    I'm not saying Hud doesn't read these message boards, but it's more likely in this case that it was Buckley's doing. We know that he reads the message boards because he writes stories based on things people bring up on here. So it's more likely that his question was something like: "A fan on Ragin Pagin said blah blah blah, what do you think about it Coach Hud?"...and the response is what you would expect.

    Reality and the way it sounds in a newspaper are often very different.

    Hud could simply have said "No comment"

    So I was not a fan of the Melvin Smith hiring, especially after he openly lamented the talent level his first preseason here. It spoke volumes about what HE thought he could accomplish.

    Still the only 2 ways I would expect to see immediate results in 5 days of transition is if the motivation was lacking and/or if the wrong defensive plays were being called.
    Our defense needs an identity. A filthy one. Lately, it seems we are too afraid to cut them loose and let them play free. It's not fun. Giving up TDs when we are not even being aggressive. Might as well get nasty and see what happens.

    While you may be correct, Buckely did not make up the quote. "That fan needs to stay clear of me", what are you, the O'doyle rules kid?

    You find out a lot about your leadership in times of crisis. The leader of your defense insults the fan base after a dreadful performance, now the head coach takes a jab? All this ____ is starting to make sense.

    He is not that smart. Scott Framer wasn't available to give him permission...

    This does not mean he reads RP.

    It's the oldest trick in a reporters handbook. In order to keep the coaches wrath off the reporter they couch their questions. "Coach? Message boards are speculating..."

    You are technically right.

    Hudspeth has assistants and family members read RP for him. That's a fact.

    I'll bet no one reports the self correcting nature of the threads.
