post Texas A&M: Hud Accountability Index

A third losing season in a row should be met with a pink slip. Most in the coaching profession understand that.

By the way, venting is a very good use of this forum. I understand that well. God knows we needed to after yesterday.

Guys, it's not just after one game. After two games, we've seen a semi-decent special teams; a really good offense, and a defense that can't stop a cold. Forget about the passing defense. If we can't contain the run, we will lose.

It is not a balanced discussion if the title of a thread leads with a decision proclamation.

I am worried about Hud meddling with the defense, and I say this based on phrases Lucas going into the season -that he didn't use last year- but Hud has used in the past.

That does not mean I am ready to fire.

Hud's team recruited our current backs.

1. You aren't "tarnishing memories". Even if Bozo the Clown were our coach, we'd have athletes to respect. Respecting some of the athletes has nothing to do with whether the fan base should begin pressuring the leadership to plan for a coaching change. Do we run a dumpster fire of a program... under coaches that don't have it... just to embrace an athlete or four?
2. Mike is right... that this thread and bashing the coach is pointless... except to vent. And that is the sad reality of our existence. Even when we need to dump a coach... we can't. Hud could have gone 0-12 last year... and be set to go 0-12 this year... and Mike would be right about this thread. But it in no way invalidates the examination of Hud's 7 years and where we are right now.
3. "We weren't supposed to win last night or next week" is precisely why we are all mad. When Hud came in 7 years ago... and blew reams of "sleeping giant" smoke up our rear ends... who thought we'd give up 60+ to Tulsa in year 7... and have fans defend it?
4. Unless one of you has the power to actually shut down the year and regroup... threads like this are perfectly fine. Those of you wearing lace around your underwear need to stop being frightened by upset fans. We aren't storming Cajun Field with pitch forks. This is a forum to vent and discuss the disgust of our football coaching ineptness.
5. And once again... there is no distinction between "he can't coach... but he can recruit" and "he can't recruit... but he can coach". That's like saying "he can make the car go fast... but he can't drive". Coaches that can coach don't have trouble recruiting... and coaches that recruit don't have trouble coaching. Keep that in your fan playbook... and it will keep you from making dumb statements about college coaches.

We've been getting heated up about Hud... and there's no reason we shouldn't. He's choosing the staff and the athletes with that staff. It's on him. All of it. Hud barely edged out a win over SLU at Cajun Field... and gave up 60+ to Tulsa. Year 7 fact.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hud shift his coaching"ability" to the defense this season?

[Just1More]

Hud shift his coaching"ability" to the defense this season?

Yes. He fixed Lafayette traffic and we put him onto fixing the UL defense.

[Turbine]

Yes. He fixed Lafayette traffic and we put him onto fixing the UL defense.

And to think his real strength is with Housing and Urban Development.

[LaCajunsFan]

Yes. He fixed Lafayette traffic and we put him onto fixing the UL defense.

Says it all.
