Hudspeth: 'The hardest schedule I've ever been a part of'

[zephyr]

I hope you're right about the kitchen sink. But it doesnt even have to be trick plays, etc. Just a bit more imagination than jump balls and 23 Blast.
Good points about the "chip". When Hud came in, he was the "savior". After some success, maybe we relaxed a bit and thought that we didnt need the same level of effort. I hope you are right about that fire coming back.
J1M-I'm worried about Hud ball too. It seems like we try to out-talent teams in areas we cant and out-strength in areas we cant. If he lets Hall figure out where we can use finesse and where we can use power, we will be ok. I'm just not sold on the idea he can let go of that much control.

We have heard the same things from the top for years. We've been told we will open up the offense for more years than I can remember. My skepticism comes from the lack of follow through from the coaching. We continuously approach big money games with a caution of trying not to get guys hurt while not showing our "true" opponents too much of our playbook.

I know we have a new OC but we've run the same components on offense since Hud got here. We're going to run the pistol, zone dive, wildcat where the QB runs it every time or gives it up on a jet sweep and a very inefficient passing game defined by either poor routes or no time for the QB.

I am highly concerned about our QB. Hopefully he has matured to a point where he can lead our offense because he was in no position to do this the last couple years, hence going out and getting AJ. Our OL was poor last year and while they have more experience, I'm still worried about this group.

This year should be interesting.

Good interesting I hope.

[CajunNation]

Let's hope he keeps his rear end out of the defensive play calling as well.

I suspect the intense focus on creating turnovers is a Hudspeth initiative, and will lead to poor results as tackling will suffer.

We will see the first time the quarterback has a poor game. ...

So here's this

Coach Hall needs to duct tape Hud's mouth and Hud needs to stand aside and let his coaches coach. Radical idea to say the least but Hud cant afford to stink it up this year.

Proof is in the pudding. He has said this many times...

You're right. And he's said before that he doesn't have a hand in the offense at all; so this report contradicts those previous statements.

My feeling is this. In order to be an effective Coach, you have to demonstrate confidence and dominance. Hall, IMO, is obviously the man at practice. He has that alpha intangible. We've been missing that on the offensive side since Jay left.

Time to tell Hud...stand there and look pretty.

Well, he wasn't too pretty, but this is exactly what Bobby Bowden did for decades. Now, there is a statue built in his honor.

The secret to success is to surround yourself with good people, trust them and get out of their way.

So Bobby Bowden and Florida housewives jokes are off limits now?
