James Willis new Defensive Analyst

Exactly, all the other soap opera crap blurs this FACT right here. Not every person will always like their boss, that’s not some new concept to life. Production and a clean program is what matters. I doubt every person that works for Nick Saban hangs out with him on the weekend.

When Hudspeth wins national championships, or even an outright conference championship he can conduct himself like Nick Saban.

Jay P5 OC vs G5 OC--Promotion
Rebowe HC at FCS vs position coach at G5 FBS--Promotion (Was not going to be retained by HUD)
Whitt P5 vs G5 same position--Promotion
Willis NFL position coach vs G5 DC--Promotion
Wallerstedt G5 Position coach vs G5 DC--Promotion (He was DC here. LATERAL MOVE)
Stewart FIRED at UL, now DC at FCS (downgrade but again you were fired), lucky to still be a DC at the D1 level (Publicily thrown under the bus)
Smith FIRED at UL, now DC at FCS (downgrade but again you were fired)lucky to be a DC at the D1 level)

How do you know that about ? This is the first time anyone has ever heard that. With his HS connections in la that would have been a bad move.

Exactly what I said, if it’s as serious as some claim he would be fired with clause, if he was winning and in the top 25 nobody would care and would defend him against the haters. He is losing and people want him gone so therefore every single thing that happens or anything he says he gets destroyed. If all these “circumstances” were exactly the same but he was going 10-3...11-2 nobody would care. So it’s not about some moral high road, it’s about winning and losing.

LOL!!! I guess there is, if you believe conversation with former players means absolutely nothing, parent telling supporters at the team hotel during bowl week game his son was assaulted by Hudspeth, several players he was close with left the program because they didn't respect him any longer and discipline slipped after Whitt's exit.....etc. I understand there are two sides of every story, but when the Head Coach denies such incidents to the media or says it wasn't as bad as it sounds without explanation, he deserves criticism.

I carried his jock for four years, but I'm not naive enough to believe that Johnson or Whitt weren't headed out the door already when they received G5 jobs. It doesn't mean they hate Hudspeth, but it does mean there were differences in opinions that affected performances of athletes on the football field. Just because some people have heard some of these things and others haven't doesn't mean those incidents didn't take place. Just like in Farmer's case, if the information didn't come from a scripted discussion at a sanctioned event, some will believe it never happened.

Funny you should mention that. Recently, an RCAF employee approached me at an event and said "I thought the RP stuff was hogwash, but man, you guys were right about it all".. (concerning Farmer, the baseball stadium, Hud, etc).. ULVictory will corroborate that story.

Pot meet kettle....Willis coming back kinda throws a kink in the theory that everyone who has worked with him hates him. Didn't say I don't know who said it, if you want to know look it up yourself is what I said and I even told you where to look.

The earth is flat. It's a theory... someone said it. I'm like you with your "Willis Kink Theory"... I have no good reason to mention it in this thread. But someone said it. Look it up.

If I wanted to know who said it, I would look it up myself. I don’t expect others to look up information that I want for me. I think everyone on here is capable of using the search function with the exception of maybe 1.

One of the coaches you listed as a coach that left for a better job... did. But he also regards Hud as an egomaniac. It is possible that coaches both leave for better jobs, and also aren't all that crazy about the head coach. There are a massive number of assistant coaches that hate the coaches they work under. They don't coach under them because they love them. You have to pay your dues in coaching... even if it requires you work under other coaches you don't like.

The general rule is that about 90% of what you hear coming out of fan forums about coach's personalities, incidents, player issues, etc... are true. They don't get publicly validated very often. Just think of other work places. People will tell their family and friends about how a boss or owner is a jerk... with stories to prove it... yet they still work there. The validation never comes at the pace of the stories. As soon as that boss/owner gets in trouble and/or fired... those supposed rumors get validated by other coworkers.

I worked at a place where an executive was rumored to have sexually harassed several young women. I didn't really believe it at first. When one of them resigned and sued the company... I thought she was making it up to get a pay day. Then a bunch of other women came forward and gave their stories. I was shocked. I didn't like the guy. But I didn't think he was that stupid. He was.
