Jalen Nixon out for season

[cajunhawk]

I see talent out there but it's like the coaches are afraid to use it. I know the offensive line is struggling but running up the middle does not seem like a good idea if your OL is not up to par.

I will say this though, Hud knows more about football, and especially this team, than I will ever know. It's easy and fun for us to question everything, but none of us know as much about what's goes on in the locker room at meetings and at prictice than Hud.JMO

Or so we are made to believe that is the case. Who knows what the answer is? Prolly Hud. That's about it. Is he completely out of his league at the moment? Or is there some other reason why he feels compelled to coach every game from his backseat? Think about how damaging this has to be to the players he recruited. You see a team have a pretty good offense, moving the ball at will most of the time. Then you get to campus...and you get the current offense. Think about what that does to the confidence of those players. Some are worried about our criticisms affecting the players, how about the coaches actions? It's like Hud doesn't trust his players, or he chooses not to. Regardless of what he does or doesn't know, the man is ____ing the dog right now. You can be Bear Bryant, and you pull the kind of ____ Hud does, and you need to answer some questions. Screw the benefit of the doubt, we don't have that much room for error.

Florida seems like a long time ago doesn't it? We were pretty good that year under Hud. Maybe, just maybe, he can get us back there.

Or maybe, just maybe, it was the harbinger of things to come. The overwhelmed coach trying to fake it until he made it. Being exposed in a game that could have written him an SEC contract. Showing how little he knew, or how little faith he had in his players. Let's rewind, who did Hud blame for that loss?

Wow. I've never seen this place so dead.

LOL. Are you having a meltdown? If you read into anything other than the black and white definition, you might get it. What I said was that Nixon got a bad wrap because his name was constantly associated with negativity at the QB position. I'm not saying he was the second coming of Jake but he lead us to more key wins than Haack but the only time you heard his name was with contempt when speaking about the QB position, especially when he was named the backup to Jennings. You didn't speak of his leadership abilities or anything of substance but to say that we are in bad shape if he sees the field. In other words, his talents were overlooked and underscored by the contempt people had for him at QB. I didn't back myself into any corner and I don't give a ____ if you agree or not.

You're in the corner. You just don't like it. You responded to my post to Crappdaddy... so when/if you don't give a whatever... don't comment on my post. As for Nixon, I see you didn't address the fact that Hud moved him to RB... and only put him back in the QB battle because of the inability to get him enough experience at RB due to injury. Hud then stated that Nixon would only have limited QB short yardage duties. Did Hud give Nixon a "bad wrap"? Nixon is a good young man. He got to wear the jersey and play on Saturday. I like all of the guys that play for us. But I do see, at times, players I suspect ought to be at other positions, or are not ahead of someone else at their position. I do not see that as giving them a "bad wrap". I'll monitor you and let you know when your rainbow colored "bad wraps" happen. Don't get wound up and include ___ in your posts over it. It'll just be a running joke I have on you. Your football IQ is high. I like reading your insight... your criticisms of other posters at times... not so much.

How many national televised games has Hud won in the past 2 years

[CajunEXPRESS]

Zero

[LifeTimeCajun]

Correct. Exactly. Everyone is worried about a signature win... how bout winning a game u suppose to win...on national tv

Coaches like to make football sound a lot more complicated than it really is.. truth is, unless you've spent zero time around originaized football, he probably doesn't know all that much more about the overall game than you do.

As for your first comment, all you have to do is look at the Florida game. Muschamp gift wrapped a program changing win for Hudspeth and what happened? We went into a shell, Florida sensed it, came roaring back and the rest is history. The man coaches scared. It's not up for debate. The tape proves it.

Kentucky last year is another example.
